Biology is a scientific study of the living world that leads to careers in education, health, environmental science, forensic biology, scientific journalism, and research. Studies in biology give us a way to understand nature and the interconnectedness of all living things. This field is important to everyday life because it allows us to better understand ourselves, our natural resources, and the potential threats that would alter, damage, or destroy our environment. The UNT Dallas Bachelor of Science in Biology is a professional, science-based degree that prepares students to enter professional training in the health field and may lead to a career in the health professions (pharmacy, dentistry, physician assistant, veterinary, and medical sciences).
