Anthropology: Anthropology majors study people as they relate to their culture and examine the patterns of social behavior. Anthropology looks at all aspects of human biological and social life from earliest times to the present, and seeks to understand how humans adapt to their natural and social environments. The Anthropology major has four subfields: cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology and linguistics.
Biology: This major prepares students for careers in education, the allied health professions and interdisciplinary fields such as environmental or biotechnology law, science journalism, bioscience management and more. This curriculum is not designed for those interested in attending professional schools such as medical, dental or veterinary.
Computer Science: Practically every sector is interested in computer science graduates. Computer science is a field with varied job prospects, including business analyst, software engineer, researcher, programmer and computer systems analyst. That’s why our Online Bachelor of Science in Computer Science program gives students the freedom to tailor their curriculum to their interests, skills and academic strengths.
Criminology: The UF Online Bachelor of Arts in Criminology degree program examines criminal behavior, criminal justice systems and law from a multidisciplinary, liberal-arts perspective.
