Overview

Requirements for students majoring in Biology at the College of William & Mary have been designed for both breadth and depth of training as well as a variety of approaches to the study of life.

For these majors, as well as those minoring in Biology , and students who are not Biology majors, the department aims to allow maximum flexibility in the development of programs consistent with the interests and needs of individual students.

Career Planning

Many Biology majors think only of pursuing a career in medicine – but a large and growing number of careers in biology are available. The W&M Career Center offers a library of information resources, and we encourage students to consult the center as early as the sophomore year.

Students can review the short-term and long-term reported careers of Biology majors. Select BIOL in the scroll-down menu and then click Submit for the results.
