About Our Students

Biology is a highly interdisciplinary field of study and our biology majors are preparing themselves for a variety of career choices. These include jobs in medicine and other health professions, cellular and molecular biology, ecology and conservation biology, and applied science and technology.  In addition to attending classroom lectures and labs, biology majors are involved in other activities that help prepare them for post-graduate positions.  These include participating in departmental seminars, engaging in undergraduate research at UNC Asheville, working and observing in health clinics and veterinarian offices, and gaining experiences in summer internships and research at other institutions around the country.
