Both of the degree progams in the TCNJ Biology Department (BA and BS) are designed to prepare students to be successful when they graduate from TCNJ. The BS degree offers a greater breadth of sciences to fulfill requirements for many graduate research programs and careers, and with PHY 202, will fulfill the requirements for most medical and dental schools.
