Global Achievement Academy 3 - Bachelor of Science - Biology - Zoology and Pre-Veterinarian Science

The Global Achievement Academy 3 (GAA3) is the most immersive way to study internationally at University of Central Florida (UCF). It’s more than completing the first year of their undergraduate degree. Student also benefit from the most comprehensive academic and language support, plus a deep understanding of the UCF campus, the city of Orlando and the United States as a whole. As a student in the GAA3, they will get:

• A customized curriculum that focuses on academics, culture and language.
• Exclusive access to courses focusing on life in Central Florida and in the U.S.
• Earns students a minimum of 37 credits in their program.
• Extensive English-language tutoring, academic advising and student support.
• Personalized English-language support specific to the courses they study.

The UCF Department of Biology offers a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a minor in Biology. The core curriculum provides a background in chemical, mathematical, and physical sciences, as well as broad preparation in the biological sciences. Selection of electives, in consultation with a faculty advisor, permits emphasis of a subspecialty (e.g., molecular biology, conservation biology, marine biology). Preprofessional students can follow a track of restricted and unrestricted electives to satisfy professional school (e.g., medical, dental, optometry, pharmacy, veterinary) admission requirements while completing their B.S. degree in Biology. Research experience and exposure to specialized topics not taught through formal courses may be gained through independent study contracts. Graduates are well prepared to further their education in professional or graduate schools. Additionally, this diverse background and training in the sciences opens career opportunities for graduates in areas outside of traditional biological fields.
