Overview

Biology has long been recognized as basic to environment, agriculture, and medicine. Because the topics studied by biologists range from sub-cellular particles to global environmental concerns, and because of the variety of living organisms and the various ways of studying them, many specialties have developed. The BA in Biology program at University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) provides majors with the necessary background to pursue careers in the diverse areas of life science, including health care professions, and the many careers that provide the interface between science and society. The Life Sciences sub-plan is for students whose educational and career objectives can best be met by integrating a strong biology background with courses from multiple departments in order to complete a second major or minor outside the Swenson College of Science and Engineering. Why Study Biology at UMD? Active learning environment Access to state-of-the–art instrumentation Focus on undergraduate teaching and research Acquired Skills Comprehension: Students will know and be able to explain the basic definitions and core concepts in their respective field of study. Application: Students will be able to apply biology knowledge and techniques towards solutions to problems. Analysis: Students will be able to determine an appropriate method for research, collect data and carry out the research using techniques and equipment specific to their field. Communication: Students will be able to write about scientific ideas and present their ideas and findings to technical and non-technical audiences. Career Possibilities Biologists with a Bachelor’s degree often do laboratory or field-based work directly related to their undergraduate training. For example graduates might: Work in an academic or private industry research lab. Join a biology-based agency such as the state’s department of natural resources or forestry service Get hired by federal agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or U.S. Department of Agriculture Do environmental assessments or wildlife surveys with a consulting firm
