Be Surrounded by Opportunities
If you're fascinated by living things, you’re in the right place.
Some biology majors want to apply their knowledge to environmental activism; others want to research their countless questions in lab settings; others want to pursue further schooling to become doctors. Whatever you want to do, all biology majors are connected by one thing: curiosity. You’re fascinated by the world around you, and you want to find out as much as you can to satisfy your interest. In your courses, you’ll deepen your understanding of biology and engage in practical experiences to prepare for life after graduation.
Cultivate Your Learning
You’ll engage in hands-on experiences, learning out in UW-Green Bay’s natural areas and in labs to facilitate your understanding of biology.
Keep Asking Questions
Join fellow students and work with researchers studying the behavior of birds on Cat Island, antibiotic resistance, public health emergencies and more.

"The professors and faculty at UWGB have given me the resources and the support to learn how to relearn after a decade of not being in college. I cannot speak more highly of them... the teaching approach I found at the Manitowoc campus (and eventually the Green Bay campus) gave me the realization of like, I can do this. If I’m passionate about it, there are people here to show me that I can do it."
