The global community needs you—whether you are interested in pursuing a career in a biology-related field, or you are preparing for entrance into an advanced training program. Trinity offers a Bachelor of Science in Biology to prepare you for your future.

The biology major opens the door to many opportunities, whether you are interested in research, teaching, environmental science, or health. Health-related opportunities include medicine, dentistry, podiatry, optometry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more.

The Bachelor of Science in Biology major offers three tracks to prepare students for their area of specialization. The below offers examples of what Trinity students can do with a degree that has followed each track. As Trinity offers an education in the Liberal Arts, the below are just some of the many ways Trinity graduates have used their B.S. in Biology to build a life that makes a difference.

After graduation, students who follow the General Biology track:

• Find jobs where they can apply a general Biology background—this can be anything from pharmacology to research or forensic science to nature conservation and more.
• Pursue medical school.
• Enter a graduate school program requiring a general background in biology.

After graduation, students who follow the Environmental and Ecological track:

• Pursue ecological careers in the area of environmental justice, natural resource management, lab and outdoor research, and government policy advisement.
• Enter graduate school to pursue ecological post-graduate studies.

After graduation, students who follow the Allied Health Science track:

• Take post-graduate studies to become physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, or occupational therapists.
• Pursue medical technology work.
• Find work or pursue post-graduate studies in other allied-health science-related fields, like athletic training, emergency medical sciences, health administration, and more.

Studying the sciences at Trinity Christian College will expand your understanding of creation and the Creator. And a minor in science will augment a range of careers. Your coursework can cover a range of scientific fields, from biology to chemistry to geology to physics. The science minor is recommended for elementary education majors who need exposure to a broad spectrum of science courses.

Are you excited when you learn a new way to use computers? Do you love being introduced to new computer technologies? Do you have interests in computing as well as other academic areas? If your answer to any of these questions is “yes,” then Trinity’s distinctive Bachelor of Arts in computing program could be for you! You will earn a major in computing, with a minor in another area.

The computing major will provide you with a solid foundation in computer science along with understanding and abilities in networks, web and mobile technologies, databases, and other computer technologies. You will be well prepared to continue learning about such technologies as they evolve in the years ahead.

Computer technologies are transforming so many areas of human society that there is a rapidly growing need for those who are well rounded and possess a solid liberal arts education. With a minor in another area, you will understand how technology can be deployed across sectors and fields. Just as importantly, your minor will enrich your understanding of computers, and the Christian liberal arts education you receive at Trinity will empower you to make faithful and insightful decisions about these powerful technologies.

If you have a passion for computers and deep interests in other areas, then Trinity’s B.A. in computer science will get you ready for your career. The program combines a major in computer science with a minor in the field of your choice. This program of study introduces you to key areas of computing such as programming languages, data structures, operating systems, networks, and more. You will also learn important computer science concepts that further empower you to use and design computer technologies and understand them more deeply. At the same time, you will acquire new insight and expertise that enable you to discover creative uses of computer programs for solving problems and helping others.

With this degree, you will be prepared for a career in research or industry, or to continue your studies in graduate school.
