Biology This concentration is best if you’re interested in studying the molecules of life and a career in the rapidly growing fields of biotechnology and biomedical/pharmaceutical research. It’s also the concentration if you want to pursue an advanced degree in cell biology, biochemistry or molecular biology. You’ll get extensive hands-on experience in biochemical, cellular, and molecular techniques. Biology is very much like a mystery story because it is full of twists and turns that lead to exciting discoveries. In both, there are questions to be asked and problems to be solved. From the interactions between an organism and its environment to the genetic and molecular underpinnings of disease, biology is the framework within which we understand the wonders and complexities of the natural world. Our biology program provides the opportunity to study, and develop a career in, whichever mystery of biology excites you.

Careers, Internships for Biology Students Providing you with internship opportunities is one of the ways we help you take your passion for biology into the real world. Open to you on a competitive basis, an internship will give you a distinct edge in your job search after graduation. Students can gather a wealth of knowledge from books, lectures, and guest speakers, but nothing completes and complements that knowledge like hands-on learning in the real world. Entering the workforce and assuming responsibilities helps students mature as they develop their skills and acumen and apply what they’ve learned in class. Internships The University of New Haven considers internships to be a critical component of the educational process. We strive to successfully match an intern with the most appropriate work environment. It’s also a given that all three parties in the relationship — UNH, the student, and the internship location — need to devote significant time to make it successful. This balancing act, when achieved, results in a quality internship that can lead to developing a strong future employee. Numerous ways exist to develop and participate in an internship. Working through the internship coordinator, we make every effort to ensure the internship experience is a meaningful one.
