 The field of biology involves many important issues of our society such as ecology, population, health care, and food technology. Fields such as medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, forestry, wildlife management, and pest control all depend on biologists for basic scientific knowledge. Employment in the life sciences is expected to increase rapidly during the next decade.
The biology program at CSM will help you explore and expand your interest in the living world and endless curiosity about life - while opening doors into the areas of research, technology, field work, and other science-related topics.
