Career Resources

A concentration in EEB or Biology provides students with the competitive skill sets they will need in a diverse array of careers.

Many students go on to work in conservation and natural resource management, government agencies, biotechnology, healthcare, non-profits, forensic science, science communication and outreach, environmental consulting, teaching, parks and nature reserves, research labs, zoos, natural history museums, and ecotourism (to name a few). Many students also choose to pursue further education: graduate school for a MSc or PhD, veterinary or medical school, law school, business school, or public health programs.

Gain Lab Experience

Volunteering or working in a research lab is a great way to gain practical experience. Read about the research going on in EEB labs to find out which ones interest you and contact the professors. It’s also a great idea to chat with your TAs and professors during class and office hours.
