Career Outlook
A biology master’s degree prepares a student to pursue a PhD or healthcare practitioner (MD, DO, DDS, PA) to work in a hospital, nursing home, or other medical-related fields.
Others find work in biotechnology to solve problems in medicine, industry, agriculture, or the regulation of drug approval. Many graduates also hold management positions in biomedical organizations.
