BA Biology
Biology is the study of plant and animal life. Biologists study the anatomical and cellular structure of organisms, how they have evolved over time, and how they interact with each other in the world. Biology is one of the most popular majors at Portland State University because it opens the doors for many careers in the health sciences.
