About CBS students
Who are they? CBS students receive a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, math as well as more advanced life science courses in biochemistry, genetics, neuroscience, and ecology. Whether it’s studying bacteria under a microscope, working directly with patients, or engaging in field work, our students are driven to make a meaningful impact in the world of biology.
Why hire them? The college’s rigorous science curriculum and active learning classrooms prioritize learning experiences that are collaborative, hands-on, and connect to real-world scientific problems. In addition to this, many of our undergraduates participate in on-campus research projects, leadership experiences, and extracurriculars. This prepares CBS graduates with important career readiness competencies such as critical thinking, teamwork, professionalism, and communication, all of which will help them thrive in a variety of jobs in the life sciences and beyond.
Where do they go? While many of our students continue their education in health professional school or graduate/PhD programs, there are a plethora of industries and companies nation-wide that our alumni are employed at. Career pathways in research and development, sales, manufacturing, data analytics, natural resources, clinical research, regulatory affairs, and science education are some of the many pathways that our graduates take.
