Success in the Field
Across the country and around the world, UE's biology alumni are putting what they've learned to use as they excel in grad school and in their chosen careers.
Over the last five years, 90 percent of UE biology graduates are currently studying or working in a STEM-related field.
Biology graduates have found successful careers across an array of fields, and many have pursued graduate or professional school after leaving UE. Graduate and professional schools our alums have attended include Georgetown University School of Medicine, Saint Louis University School of Medicine, Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Iowa College of Dentistry, Southern College of Optometry, Indiana University School of Medicine, Duke University, Northwestern University, Vanderbilt University, Washington University, University of Louisville, and the University of Illinois School of Veterinary Medicine.
