BS Biology

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

Murray State University

Program Overview

Many students interested in professional careers in medicine and other health-related fields choose biology as their undergraduate major. In addition, excellent career possibilities exist for students in secondary and college/university teaching and research. Kentucky and other states as well as federal agencies hire conservation, wildlife and fisheries students, and there is also a need for environmental consultants in the private sector. A brief list of additional occupations with a background in biology include genetic counseling, biotechnology, conservation ecology, microbiology, toxicology, paleontology, herpetology, ecology, limnology, physiology, pharmaceutical sales representative and medical research. Most of these occupations require training beyond the baccalaureate degree (i.e., at the M.S. or Ph.D. levels).
