      Biology is a rapidly developing science which offers many career opportunities. Every day new discoveries are being made in bio-medical fields, molecular biology, genetic engineering, cell biology, ecology, and in many other fields of the biological sciences. Highly educated and skilled individuals will be needed in the future to continue this pace of exploration. 
      An individual with a degree in biology may work as a research scientist, a teacher, in industry, or for state and federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Fish and Wildlife Service, Centers for Disease Control, or many other agencies. There will undoubtedly be new areas of employment that require a major in biology as new fields emerge in the future.
