Career Opportunities for Majors in Cell Biology & Neuroscience
Introduction
Rutgers University offers the Cell Biology and Neuroscience major through the Division of Life Sciences. Students in this program complete coursework related to Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Calculus, Physics, and Statistics. The major objective of this program is to prepare students for graduate studies in cell biology and neuroscience, entry into professional schools in medicine, dentistry or other health related fields, or employment in industrial and pharmaceutical companies.
While most graduates work in a related occupation and eventually obtain an advanced degree, others choose another direction. Many careers do not require a specific major but rather a wide range of demonstrated skills and accomplishments. Regardless of your career choices, increase your marketability to employers through internships, responsible work experience, good grades and involvement in college activities. A bachelor's degree is sufficient for advanced technician jobs in the medical field, lab/research assistant positions, or testing and inspection jobs. An advanced degree is required for most other positions in the scientific field.
