General Biology

The General Biology concentration is designed to give students a broad perspective on the life sciences, permitting more free electives and a greater exposure to courses outside the major than either Human Biology or Health and the Environment concentrations.  While not recommended for students who wish to pursue a career in medicine or health-related fields, the General Biology concentration allows students to pursue a variety of specific interests that may lead directly to or advanced studies for positions in government, industry, environmental fields, public policy, and teaching.  Students should work closely with academic advisors and department mentors to devise appropriate course paths for specific career directions.
