Biology

Many students have an interest in biology.  At Oregon Tech we have designed two programs that prepare graduates for rewarding careers that require a strong foundation in biology.  For medically-oriented options in biology, please see our Biology-Health Sciences program.  It offers a strong preparation to apply to professional programs, exceeding the minimum requirements for highly competitive fields such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine, Physician Assistant, and others.  With dedicated faculty focused on teaching and small classes centered on fields with greater relevance to modern medicine, students are very successful in reaching their goals.

For outdoor or field-oriented biology, please refer to the Environmental Sciences program.  It offers several pathways including Watershed Science that can readily be tailored to biological interests and student research projects.  Graduates often go on to careers with public and private agencies such as US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, and the Nature Conservancy.
