Career outcomes

A student in the Biology Department will be prepared to pursue a variety of career opportunities, depending on the curricular program chosen. An undergraduate major may choose any of the options. The Cellular and Molecular Biology Option can fulfill the major entrance requirements for professional schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry, podiatry, and medical technology, or prepare the student for further graduate study in biology. Biology graduates from CSU Dominguez Hills have competed successfully for admission to professional and graduate schools in California elsewhere. Students also may use the Cellular and Molecular Biology Option to prepare for careers in teaching, research, government, academia or the biotechnology industry. The Ecology and Environmental Biology Option will prepare students for graduate studies or careers with federal, state, and local agencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), consultants and careers in teaching, among others. The Microbiology Option provides training in microbiology, medical microbiology, immunology, and related courses (virology, mycology, and parasitology) for students interested in a career in applied biology, biomedical research or allied fields.
