About Biology
Are you interested in plants and animals? In learning about how a single cell develops into a human being, or how an acorn develops into an oak tree? Maybe how bacteria cause diseases, and how our immune system can (or can't) fight them off? Does saving endangered species or preserving the environment interest you? These are the kinds of things that Biology students at the University of Northern Iowa study.
Students who graduate as UNI Biology majors become doctors, field biologists, dentists, teachers, biology research assistants, optometrists, park interpreters, veterinarians, physical therapists, researchers, professors . . . and many other things. Our graduates find themselves well prepared to go either directly into jobs or to continue their educations in specialty areas. If you are interested in life, this is the place to study.
