You've always loved nature, the outdoors, and creatures great and small. Northwestern's biology–ecological science major will help you to put that love into action. Job opportunities are as diverse as creation itself. You could become a naturalist, park ranger or entomologist; work with wildlife management, land restoration or habitat conservation; or get a job with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a seed company, or a botanical garden, zoo or aquarium.

Northwestern's biology–ecological science major will put you in the field from the start, whether you take an experiential ecology course, land a summer internship doing field research, or study off campus.

You'll also delve into Scripture to discover a Christian's motivation for creation care. Related minors include biology, chemistry, and data science and statistics.
