Bioscience is one of the newest areas of interest in the medical, agricultural, manufacturing and criminal justice fields. This broad-based program will give you the basic knowledge of chemistry required by the versatile careers available, as well as the processes, techniques and safety issues required in the lab.

Where You Could Go

Jobs are available for Bioscience graduates today, and for the foreseeable future. You could find employment in medical research, agricultural research, product testing, criminal investigation and pharmacology.

NOTE: Forensics is taught in conjunction with the Criminal Justice Program.

Transfer Options

NC State maintains formal transfer agreements with four year colleges and universities throughout the state of Ohio. These should help you make a smooth transition toward your bachelor’s degree, or beyond. In addition, opportunities may be available to pursue further education in specific areas of study while working in the field.

Career Outlook

The one important aspect of the Bioscience industry is its stability. Because of the detail involved in research and testing guidelines, and the reliability of results, these jobs are not likely to be outsourced to overseas markets.

Graduates with an associate of arts degree in Bioscience can expect to find stable employment making $25,000 to 30,000 initially. This may increase with experience and education levels after graduation.
