I am in my late 30′s and plan on returning to the university as well. It really is never too late.

Last school year, I believe there was someone in their 80′s who graduated from the university. In addition to Biology, OSU offers a Fisheries and Wildlife program that you might look into.

As you might imagine, there is some attrition involved in any science field of study as students realize that this area may not be the right on for them. However, as with any field, if you approach it with passion there will always be a place for you. I think that the best way to establish yourself early would be to get involved in undergraduate research at OSU. We offer a number of ways for you to get that hands on experience that employers crave:

If going into field or research work, add a masters degree and/or a doctoral degree. It really depends upon the career path.
