Career Areas in Biology
With a masters (MS) degree in the appropriate field you can become one
of a group of science-trained professionals upon whom business, industry,
government and education have come increasingly to depend. Careers include
the academic world (e.g., research technician, teaching laboratory coordinator,
greenhouse facilities coordinator), in government, (e.g., research technician,
regulatory agency field agent) and in industry (e.g., research technician,
life sciences product design and development specialist, life science
product sales). Opportunities in biotechnology industries are expanding
rapidly.
