Learning more about the biological aspects of the human body can be the basis for further study in pharmacology or in medical school. For those who want to teach science, a biology education can be combined with training to earn a teaching credential.

Before people apply to medical school, they typically engage in the undergraduate pursuits that are most likely to prepare them for the intensity of those programs. Pre-med coursework can put students on the path to further study and, ultimately, to careers in the medical field.
