Add a Minor or Double Major
Make yourself stand out and individualize your education at the same time. Popular minors for Biologists include Spanish, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Art, Psychology and Environmental Studies. If one major isn't enough for you, be like other Maroons and combine your B.A. in Biology with a second degree or make you own major mash-up.

Complete an Internship
Sounds hard but it is so easy. Earn academic credit with a paid or unpaid internship or even an appropriate summer job. There are so many choices from interning at the Bradley Free Clinic to the Mill Mountain Zoo. Ask your advisor or Career Services (click here) about how to find an internship.
