Introduction

Biology is the study of life. The study of how life began, how living things are organized, how organisms function, and how all life forms interact with each other. As a biologist, you will direct your interest in living things into observing and evaluating life processes.

Students may be seeking a career in biological research, natural resource management, agriculture, human health or education. Your area of study may be outdoors, in a classroom, a laboratory, a research station, or with a specialized research group. Students may choose from one of the professional fields of medicine, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, physiology, microbiology, molecular biology, zoology or botany.
