Why Biology?
Open up the newspaper. Turn on the television. Every day, biologists report new discoveries that change our understanding of the way the world works. Professional biologists create new knowledge that is used to solve some of the biggest problems facing humanity - issues in healthcare, agriculture, and environmental science. A degree in biology provides a basis for life-long understanding of the contributions biological sciences make to the world. A degree in biology also serves as a gateway for careers in healthcare, research, teaching, or scientific journalism.
