Return to: Programs of Study
This option offers a concentration in environment/ecology-related topics and is recommended for those interested in environmental issues, conservation biology and wildlife biology.
Covenant is affiliated with the AuSable Institute of Environmental Studies. By completing both the Covenant and AuSable programs, a student may earn an environmental certificate from the institute. Covenant students will be billed separately for their AuSable expenses, and Covenant will give credit for most AuSable Institute courses. Fellowships and scholarships are available.
The core and distribution requirements for a major in biology are those listed for baccalaureate degrees with the exception that CHE 121 General Chemistry I is fulfilling the natural science lab requirement, and is already required for the major.
