Bachelor of Science - Biology

After graduating with the BS in Biology degree, students can find work in laboratory settings as biotechnology or laboratory technicians at universities, research centers, or pharmaceutical companies. The coursework has a required minimum of nine laboratory courses, and as such, employers compete for Pace's extensively trained students. The BS in Biology degree also prepares students for professional schools such as medical, dental, osteopathy, or veterinary medicine, or for graduate master's and PhD programs. Individualized advising, including a dedicated pre-med advisory committee, and a pre-health professions advisor, ensure Pace's students are on track. Some other career options for Pace's students include science communication, advertising, government jobs, biotechnology, patent law and many others. 

Students will have the opportunity to conduct independent laboratory research in collaboration with highly respected faculty members, often at a level typically reserved for graduate students, utilizing scientific resources one would expect to find at a large research institution. Students who have previously taken advantage of this opportunity have presented the results of their research work at national and international scientific meetings, have authored papers in scientific journals, and have also been the recipients of international fellowships for continued study in the United States and abroad.
