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.
