Overview

The Biology Degree at Washington and Jefferson College give students firsthand experience with research throughout our curriculum, starting with introductory courses. This focus makes our students better candidates for funding from external organizations when they become juniors and seniors and successfully prepares them for careers in fields like medicine and research science.

Careers After W&J

You’ll find W&J Biology alumni in a variety of fields, including health and biomedical professions, working as certified veterinarians, epidemiologists, ecological and wildlife researchers, and as teachers, lawyers, and science communicators.

Our alumni go on to have successful careers after W&J and are able to better their communities and the world. One example is Donté Stevens ’16, who was selected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as the recipient of a graduate research fellowship, and also received the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Gilliam Fellowship for Advanced Study to support diversity and inclusion in science. Alumni like Kory Imbrescia ’12 called on skills they learned at W&J to assist in fighting the Coronavirus pandemic.
