What Can I Do With A Major In Biology?

The Department of Natural Sciences awards undergraduate degrees in biology with two areas of emphasis: cell and molecular biology or integrative biology.

The Cell and Molecular Biology degree program integrates the best practices of 21st century biology education through a combination of high quality coursework, exposure to current research through the literature and laboratory research experiences. The program provides the necessary tools for molecular biology and biotechnology related careers and is ideal for students who wish to pursue graduate school (molecular biology, biomedicine and forensics) or professional school (medicine, optometry, dentistry and veterinary medicine), as well as for students who wish to seek employment in research laboratories.

The Integrative Biology degree program covers integrating concepts in biological diversity, ecological interactions, developmental and evolutionary mechanisms, anatomical and physiological adaptations, and cellular and biochemical processes. This degree program provides students with the broad integrative training needed to pursue careers in such diverse areas as the health care professions, conservation, remediation, resource management and sustainability.
