BA and BS Biology

A major in biology allows students to explore various aspects of our natural world. Tremendous advances in biotechnology, medicine, environmental studies and related areas make biology an important and fascinating field of study. Biology is a broad field that seeks to understand living creatures from animals and plants to fungi and microbes. Biologists help find cures for diseases, become doctors, save endangered species and more. Biology-related career fields include human and veterinary medicine, scientific research and development, teaching at the high school and college levels, environmental monitoring and regulation at state and federal levels, and private design and consulting. Biology majors study how living organisms function at the cellular, tissue, organ, and organismal levels.
