How Long Would It Take to Get a Biology Degree on Active Duty?

Would it take like 8 years or something? I already have a B.A. in Political Science but want to go back to school and get a degree in Biology. I wouldn't need to take anything like English 101 - it would just be the Biology courses and some of the required Mathematics courses.

With this in mind how long do you think we're talking here? All total I'm talking about 20 different classes (15 Bio courses, and then about 5 Math courses). How long would this take? Keep in mind I'm talking about in-class courses, not online courses?

I'm in the infantry (11X) by the way. I'm not trying to get the degree because I'm trying to make money, but because I think this might be the path I want to take with my life. Maybe who knows.

Thanks everyone.

You seem earnest. But I think you are refusing to face facts. Nobody has a job for somebody with a BS degree in Evolutionary Biology. Nobody publishes the research of anyone with only a BS degree in any kind of Biology. There is no such "path in life" unless you are independently wealthy and don't need to work for a living.

Upper class Biology classes and labs are scheduled during daytime hours only. Can you get a steady night shift active duty military schedule for 3-5 years? I doubt it.

Think about a career in nursing (lots of colleges have night shift courses for those with other BA degrees) or Physician's Assistant programs.

Evolutionary Biology is for PhD candidates only who intend to teach at the college level. Nothing else.

Good Luck.
