Students can earn a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.), or Bachelor of Science with Teaching Certification in Biology at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. Students entering with an Associate’s degree or transfer students who have taken the prerequisite entry level science classes (e.g., introductory biology, plus chemistry or physics) can earn a B.A. or B.S. degree in General Biology in approximately two years. College or Arts & Sciences students may also minor in Biology.

 Classes are offered on a two-year rotating basis. In addition, our close working relationship with the nearby Mitchell Lake Audubon Center offers opportunities for students to become involved in projects on plant and animal diversity, water quality and remediation, land management, wildlife and plant taxonomy surveys.
