Biologists work in a wide variety of career fields, including field work, technology positions, graduate schools and teaching. The general biology major can also serve as a flexible preparation for allied health paths, such as physician assistant, physical therapist, and occupational therapist. This degree plan will allow you to work with your advisor to plan your curriculum in line with your career aspirations.
