In the selection of cognate courses or electives, care must be taken to obtain the proper prerequisites. Biology 1201 is recommended for students in other disciplines who would elect a single credit in Biology. Permission of the Department may be obtained in lieu of prerequisites in special cases. However, undergraduate study in this discipline is not geared toward specific job training. Rather, it affords a broad base of knowledge upon which one may later develop specific skills and specialisation.
Many biologists enter professional fields, such as education, medicine, dentistry, or law.
Some are employed by the governments in Wildlife Service, Forestry, Environmental Studies, etc. Others continue in business or become laboratory technicians. Graduate school in a biological discipline becomes a necessity for the student who desires to delve more deeply into research and investigate the many problems as yet unanswered.
