Students enter our department excited about studying biology.  However, some students are not exactly sure what they would like to do after they graduate.  So, we are often asked the question:

What can you do with a biology degree?

Lots of things!  Become a doctor, marine biologist, laboratory technician, veterinarian, zookeeper, professor, dentist, dietician, forensic scientist, laboratory manager, medical illustrator, microbiologist, high school teacher, botanist, forest ranger, optometrist...you name it!
