Majors and Minors

At Bryn Athyn College, we offer seven carefully selected academic majors. Our majors are each crafted to provide an excellent foundation for whatever field of study you are interested in. We offer degrees in Biology, Early Childhood Education, English, History, Psychology, and Religion, and we also offer an Interdisciplinary Major that allows you to combine two fields of study into a single, cohesive program designed by you.

Minors are offered in Biology, Business, Mathematics, Psychology, Public History, and Religion.

Our bachelor in arts (BA) and bachelor in science in biology (BS) degrees are four-year liberal arts degrees. Students earning a Bryn Athyn College liberal arts BA or BS must fulfill Core Program requirements, college residency requirements (see the Student Handbook), and the individual major requirements.

As a Bryn Athyn student, you'll be expected to declare a major before the end of your second year of study.* Your advisor will assist you in this process and help you plan a course to complete the degree requirements.
