The Biological Sciences track will prepare students for graduate school and work as biologists. Biologists are involved in research which seeks to discover ways of curing disease, eliminating famine, minimizing humansβ effect on the climate, increasing life expectancy, and utilizing biological knowledge and understanding to improve our lives while at the same time protecting the environment. Consequently, biologists are employed by governmental agencies, the military, and private industry in such diverse fields as agriculture, wildlife biology, genetics, pharmaceuticals, law, and many others. Students in other majors may also earn a Minor in Biology.
