Where Can Biomolecular Science Take Me?

Clarkson graduates in biomolecular sciences have exceptional opportunities in a number of areas, including:

  • Biochemistry
  • Biotechnology
  • Genetic engineering
  • Forensics
  • Medicine
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Medical industries
  • Health sciences

The biomolecular science degree program meets pre-professional requirements for medical, dental and veterinary schools, and Clarkson's own Master of Physical Therapy program. It is also excellent preparation for industrial positions or careers in pharmaceutical, medical and biotechnological industries. And, depending on electives, graduates may enter advanced degree programs across the entire spectrum of the chemical, biological, medical and health sciences.
