Biology (B.A.)
“My experience at Hood prepared me for almost anything. My career path is not as linear as your average graduate. I’ve been able to strike out as an independent business owner and author because I was exposed to everything at Hood—philosophy, modern languages, the arts, social sciences and economics.”
- Archer O’Brien, M.A. ‘20
