BIOLOGY

A student interested in biology can obtain an Associate in Science Degree with a program of study in biology by taking the prescribed course work at Abraham Baldwin College. A student would then transfer to a four-year college or university where after completion of the junior and senior requirements the Bachelor of Science Degree with a major in biology may be received. A great diversity of employment opportunities exist in biology. Biologists are involved in research which seeks to discover ways of curing disease, eliminating famine, controlling climate, increasing life expectancy, and in many other ways in improving our lives. Biologists are employed by the Department of Agriculture, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and NASA. Job opportunities are also available for biologists as teachers. The major private industries employing biologists are those related to food and drug production where individuals are employed in research and sales. The military service provides many jobs for biologists both in uniform and as civilian employees.
