Biology B.A
Biologists wrestle with some of the major questions of our day, from the nature of life itself to the ways environmental change affects all living things. Our biology program gives you the tools to find answers.
Earning a biology degree at UW-Superior means you'll do more than stare at textbooks and take tests. You'll get dirty and wet. Wade in streams. Gather samples. Study organisms up close in modern science labs.
You'll get immersed in life itself. Whether your future includes a career in health care, natural resources or graduate school, our biology program is an ideal fit.
The biology major also allows you to choose one of the following four focus areas:
Cell/Molecular Biology
Ecology, Aquatic Biology, and Fisheries Science
Plant Sciences
Pre-Medicine and Health Professions (with 10 unique pre-health preparatory areas)

Many students benefit from working part-time while going to college. Employment helps students finance their education and provides opportunities for them to gain experience and to develop skills for future success in the career world.
Federal College Work-Study is a need-based financial aid offer that allows a student to work and earn money. Work study is a dollar allotment provided as part of your financial aid offer, and not automatically applied to your account like other financial aid. Dollars are earned by the student employee and are paid on a bi-weekly basis via direct deposit. Employment through the federal work study program is not a guarantee and should not be relied on as a manner for covering a student’s bill. Any UW-Superior student with a work-study offer may apply for work-study jobs.
Student Assist is on-campus employment that is not a part of a financial aid offer. Any UW-Superior student who is enrolled at least half-time may apply for student assist jobs.
Part Time Off-Campus Jobs are posted by area employers who are seeking college students to work in their organizations.
