The Biology Careers Page
A degree in biology (Bachelors and/or advanced) opens the door to an unusually large number of career options. This page and its links help you to explore the occupations that have a biological "flavor." Each of the occupation names listed under "Many Specific Careers Described" will connect you to one or more pertinent Web sites. And, of course, each of those sites is likely to provide links to many other relevant pages of information. Consider this resource as a supplement to the many others that exist: personal experiences and contacts of faculty members, the activity of the campus Careers Office, the content of courses in the major, and opportunities presented in various internships and summer research positions.
