In 2000, Clayton State University began offering a B.S. degree in Biology (formerly called the Applied Biology degree). The B.S. degree was designed in consultation with Georgia employers to fit present and emerging needs in the State of Georgia. Along with providing a required core of classes in biology, the program includes a rigorous background in chemistry and physics that will allow our students to succeed in their chosen career. Upper-level students choose one of five different emphasis areas, allowing them to take courses that are appropriate for their career goals. In addition, all students earning the Biology degree participate in internships or independent research projects with faculty.
As our society becomes increasingly technological, career opportunities for individuals with science degrees will continue to increase. Students majoring in biology can work in a number of areas, including government agencies and law enforcement. The major also prepares the student for further education in pursuit of graduate degrees or professional degrees in biological fields (e.g., medicine, dentistry, etc.).
