Students who major in biology typically prepare themselves for careers in research, health care, environmental management, and education, both traditional and adult education at aquariums, museums and zoos. Specialty areas within the field of biology include biotechnology, forensic science, environmental policy and science writing.

We offer both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree options. This allows you to choose the degree that best suits your needs. For those interested in studying biology in graduate school or pursuing a career in health sciences, a Bachelor of Science degree is recommended.

Those interested in careers as a laboratory technician or in allied health care, such as nursing, should consider the Bachelor of Arts degree.
