Biology courses can help you learn cellular processes, genetics, ecology, and evolutionary theory. You can build skills in laboratory techniques, data analysis, and critical thinking through hands-on experiments and field studies. Many courses introduce tools like microscopes, DNA sequencers, and statistical software, that support conducting research and analyzing biological data.
