Biology Careers

Students are urged to discuss biological career opportunities with
their biology advisor and with their teachers. penyanStudents are also encouraged to seek the assistance of the Career Counseling Center.
The Career Counseling Center offers a comprehensive array of services, activities and programs to assist students and alumni in planning a career and in obtaining professional employment upon graduation. The Biology Department has identified a number of web sites that may be helpful to you in preparing your resume, planning for a career, and learning of employment opportunities or continuing on to Graduate School.

Below are links to places where one can find information about careers in specific fields of biology. Career information is divided into the broad categories of "Molecular and Cellular” and "Organismal and Field Biology". Some sites are fairly general and are listed in both categories. There is also a listing of some sites that provide information on specific jobs and internships.
