Whether
you plan to enter the professional world with a bachelor's degree or
continue
in a graduate or professional program, Alverno's biology major will
prepare
you to be successful in the rapidly changing field of biology.
Your research in our new facilities and in your internships in professional settings will give you the opportunity to use state-of-the-art equipment, but that is only part of the Alverno experience.
Researchers are constantly developing new techniques in biology. That's why our program goes beyond training you in these techniques and teaches you to be an effective investigator in any situation.
As the body of biological knowledge
changes,
Alverno's abilities, such as analysis,
problem
solving, and communication, remain vital. That's why Alverno graduates
are sought after by employers, graduate programs, and professional
schools.
A recent survey showed that within one year of graduation, 86 percent
of employed Alverno alumnae were working in a field related to their
major.
