Biology is unique among the natural sciences because it is a broad foundational discipline. A degree in biology can be the gateway to a career in any of numerous diverse industries as technological advances open up opportunities in new directions. It also provides outstanding preparation for further study at medical or veterinary school.

The Department of Biological Sciences at USP offers many opportunities to do primary investigative research early in your undergraduate program, research that leads to publication and presentations at national meetings.
