Designed to align with UMA’s Bachelor of Arts in Biology program, this Early College pathway offers high school students the opportunity to complete both core and general education requirement courses while working with student-focused Biology faculty experts. UMA Biology majors choose a Bachelor of Arts, Medical Laboratory Technology 2+2 or pre-med track and graduate with a broad spectrum of career options including positions in laboratory science in both the public and private sectors and in education, while others have successfully pursued graduate study in the biological sciences, medical school, and in allied health programs leading to careers as a physician’s assistant or pharmacist.
