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.
