The Bachelor of Arts in Biology & Society at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences is an interdisciplinary undergraduate major that integrates biological sciences with courses addressing the social, ethical, political, and humanistic aspects of biology. The program aims to prepare students to confront contemporary issues at the intersection of science and society, such as genetic engineering, the right to medical care, public health, food and population, environmental quality, and the sociocultural dimensions of modern biology. Students complete foundation courses in biology, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, and mandatory core courses in Biology & Society, culminating in a senior seminar. Individualized thematic concentrations allow for specialization according to student interests, with topics ranging from health and society to biology and public policy. The degree prepares graduates for diverse careers or advanced study in medicine, law, public health, policy analysis, scientific research, and related fields.
