The Life Science major is designed for liberal arts students that seek to combine coursework in biology with other disciplines. For example, students that wish to pursue biological illustration could double major in Art and Life Science, students that wish to go into environmental law could double major in Sustainability and Life Science or Political Science and Life Science, and students that would like to pursue business in medical technology, pharmaceutical, or science supply companies could pursue Business and Life Science. Alternatively, the student can combine the Life Science major with 2 minors in different disciplines.?

To graduate with a major in Life Science, the student must also complete a second major or 2 minors (Biology minor is not allowed), in addition to completing the coursework for the Life Science major. Students that plan to pursue a career in biology or medicine should major in Biology instead of Life Science.
