Biology is the study of living organisms.
From the structure and function of molecules to the remarkable interaction of plants and animals with their environment, from animal behavior to toxicology, biology is an excellent major for you if you have an inquisitive mind, are interested in science, and enjoy hard work. Biologists use mathematics and their knowledge of physical and computer sciences as tools to study living things. They routinely work cooperatively and need to possess good communication skills to present their ideas to others. The biology major, coupled with an excellent background in the liberal arts, will prepare you for professional studies in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, other biomedical specialties, or a career in teaching at the elementary or high school level. By your choice of courses, you may also prepare for graduate studies in biology, leading to a career in research and university teaching.
