Biology—the study of life—explores a wide range of topics. From the smallest microorganisms to the enormous blue whale, from plant life to insects to animals to humans, biology investigates every aspect of life on this planet. If you love science and the study of living things intrigues you, then a biology degree may be the ideal choice for you.
As you consider your future career, you may be thinking that you want to find an option that not only pays well but is also fun. What jobs pay well but are fun? The answer depends on your major, but these are some excellent choices.
A biological science degree will take you on a journey to study the living world that’s all around and within us. Biology is one of the broadest majors you can choose because it encompasses many scientific disciplines, from the study of the very smallest molecules that make up life to the study of plants and animals.
Geneva College announces Sarah Dickinson, PhD, will join faculty members in the Department of Biology as a new Assistant Professor of Biology.
