Maybe you want to go on to medical school... teach biology in high school… or pursue a career in research. No matter which path you choose, the biological sciences program at Michigan Tech will give you the resources to be successful. Learn how individual organisms function and interact with other living things and the environment, then apply it to a variety of fields.
You’ll get to do a lot of hands-on research, both in the department’s laboratories and outdoors. Michigan Tech even owns its own research boat—how crazy is that? One thing’s for sure: you’ll never have a “typical” day in class as a biological sciences major!
Many students continue to do research after graduation in the pharmaceutical industry, hospitals, and the government sector such as the police, FBI, and Peace Corps. Graduates have also gone on to health care product manufacturing, quality assurance consulting, environmental consulting, and teaching. Whatever you’re passionate about, there’s an option to focus on it in the biological sciences program.
