Biology

Park's low student:faculty ratio translates to small class sizes that promote personalized attention—an aid in helping students learn and succeed.

Biology is a science that includes many divisions, including botany, zoology, genetics, microbiology and anatomy. The biology degree program at Park serves as a strong foundation for students interested in a wide variety of careers.

Because of the range of specialty areas, biology can be of special interest to students with a variety of aptitudes, backgrounds and career objectives. Students are encouraged to earn an additional major or a minor for maximum employment flexibility.

• A combination of journalism and biology provides management opportunities in editing and science writing.
• Training in business and biology provides opportunities in science-oriented companies, as well as pharmaceutical sales.
• With a major or minor in chemistry, additional opportunities may be found with various county, state, and federal agencies that deal with health services, environmental control, food and drugs.
• The pharmaceutical and chemical industries also offer laboratory technician positions to those with an undergraduate degree in biology.
• Biology graduates will also be prepared for graduate programs in biology, botany, or zoology. Biology is also the major chosen most often by students seeking entrance into medical, dental, or veterinary schools.

High school students planning to major in biology are encouraged to do well in all their subjects but especially science (chemistry, physics, and biology) and mathematics.
