Careers in Biology
Many students today pursue higher education to prepare for a particular career path. What can you do with a bachelor of science degree in biology?
Biology is such a broad field, there are many, many options. A bachelor’s degree will qualify you for working as a lab technician or research assistant in a variety of employment sectors both private and public. Having a background in biology can also be an asset for non-science work in business, communications, legislation, and marketing. Some career doors in biological sciences open with further education, and an undergraduate degree prepares you for graduate school or professional schools.
