This is just a sample of the many career options open to college graduates with majors in the biological sciences. Biology, the science of living organisms and life processes, studies the connections between disciplines like zoology, botany, molecular biology, physiology, microbiology, genetics, embryology, animal behavior and evolution. If you are good at problem-solving, critical thinking, and mathematics, you have the potential to succeed in any of a number of jobs either directly in, or related to, the biological sciences. An aptitude in science, coupled with an interest in such diverse areas as writing, art, and mechanics may open up unlimited possibilities for the future. As with all professions today, the job market for a biologist requires the ability to adapt to changes in the field.
Scientific knowledge expands rapidly as new discoveries are made.
The foundation a liberal arts education provides can enhance your ability to adapt. The general education curriculum at Saint Francis University helps students to make connections among disciplines and to apply critical thinking skills to content areas. Our students are encouraged to take minors in non-science disciplines or to pursue double majors, and many have done so in the areas of English, psychology, philosophy and modern language. Foremost, we are a small, private liberal arts Catholic college with a tradition of high standards. Our small size helps us to fulfill the mission and objectives of the department and the college to provide an educational experience that promotes personalized, professional relationships with its students.
