Laboratory courses prepare students well for working in a laboratory environment through the introduction and practice of basic molecular and cellular biology laboratory techniques. Biology and chemistry courses provide students with a broad scope of knowledge and experiences, which helps them to choose a specialty that aligns more with their interests. Graduates can work in microbiology, chemistry, blood bank or hematology labs.
