Biological Sciences

Graduates from the Biological Sciences program are scientists engaged in studying human life as well as animals, plants, fungi, microorganisms, including their origin, evolution and interactions. They can work in public companies or agencies, as researchers, analysts, inspectors, supervisors, advisors and service providers in the areas of natural resources, conservation, environmental preservation, biodiversity, biotechnology, genetic engineering, environmental impact analysis or in human health, pathological diagnosis, collective health, sanitation, pest control, among others. Graduates will be eligible to teach Sciences and Biology, in general, as well as Health and the Environment in Elementary, Middle and High Schools.
