BIOLOGY

A student interested in biology can obtain an Associate of 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 improving our lives. Biologists may be employed by a variety of government agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, and NASA. Additional job opportunities are also available for biologists in the teaching profession 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.
