Biology at Rhodes is one of the most popular majors on campus. Past biology students have entered the fields of medicine, scientific research, higher education, physical therapy, dentistry, wildlife management, forestry, nursing, and laboratory technology, to name a few. This diversity of career choice is possible given the wide array of courses offered by the many faculty in the department. Students have an option of enrolling in classes that cover a wide range of biological subdisciplines, including advanced course work in areas of faculty specialization. Exposure of students to this breadth of courses facilitates a solid foundation in biology that is utilized following graduation. Internships, student research experiences, collaborative programs with St. Jude Children′s Research Hospital and other Memphis partners, and dedicated faculty mentorship allow Rhodes Biology students to explore their interests and test their aptitudes. Advanced classroom technologies and the availability of current scientific instrumentation also contribute to the overall experience of students majoring in biology.
