Why Study Life Sciences

The life sciences are a collection of disciplines that investigate the structure and function of living things from molecules to entire ecosystems. The life sciences are rapidly-advancing and thoroughly exciting fields of study that include: anatomy, animal biology, bacteriology, biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, molecular biology, plant biology, physiology, and virology. The life sciences are vital to further increase our understanding of human health, environmental issues. The Life Sciences major is ideal for the student with a fascination for where we come from, why we are the way we are, and how life works – as well as those motivated by the relevance of biology to issues of human health, the environment, and sustainability. The major provides excellent preparation for careers in biological research, biotechnology, law, conservation, public policy, and science writing, as well as the health professions, including medicine, veterinary medicine and public health.
