BIOLOGY

Biologists study living organisms and their relationship to their environment. Most specialize in some area and become botanists, zoologists, aquatic scientists, medical scientists, technologists or technicians, and biology teachers or professors. Some work in research and development, conducting basic research to advance knowledge of living organisms, including viruses. There are as many areas of study as there are job opportunities. Biologists typically have an interest in science, technology and liberal arts.

The following occupations represent some career opportunities available. Some will require additional education. For additional information, please contact Student Advisement and Career Planning
