Life After Graduation
 

A Bachelor's Degree in biology is good preparation for medical or medicine-related schools or for graduate work. Many biology majors choose employment immediately after graduation, building careers as laboratory technologists, naturalists, teachers, museum and zoo curators, governmental agricultural experts, environmental consultants, science writers or editors, science photographers, science librarians, and sales people in pharmaceutical, biomedical supplies or laboratory equipment. Other fields open to biology majors include bio- and genetic engineering, alternative energy resource development, and computer software development.
