A student majoring in biology receives a broad preparation consisting of a core of biology plus the chemistry, physics and mathematics vital to the field of biology. This preparation will serve as a basis for entering fields such as teaching, biological research, medical professions, agriculture and naturalist fields.
Students interested in pre-medicine or other health-related fields can complete a biology major, a chemistry major, both, or the pre-medicine major.
Students interested in becoming high-school biology teachers pursue a life science teaching license.
