Biology (BS) Pre-Pharmacy
Program Overview
Barry’s undergraduate Biology program will provide you with the opportunity to prepare for a number of career goals. Possible alternatives include graduate study; teaching; medical, dental, optometry, pharmacy, podiatric, and veterinary school; and various careers in research.
We have a mentor-mentee program for incoming freshmen and our advisors stay with the student for the full four year program. Our student/teacher ratio is low and many of our faculty conduct research allowing students to get valuable experience in research techniques.
