Biology (BS) Pre-Podiatry
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.
