My Grad School Thoughts - Masters/PHD

[bjcheung77]

My BA Comp Science courses are done.  Here's a plan for people who are thinking of a BA Biology at TESU
Alternatives: APUS or Excelsior BS Natural Science with a concentration in Biology - not a true Biology degree
The best completely online alternative might be this Logan University Bachelors of Science in Human Biology
