This leads to careers in industry and/or civil service, teaching biological sciences at the elementary, secondary, and community college levels. Students who graduate with a master's in Biological Sciences from Cal Poly often pursue graduate work at the doctoral level or obtain professional employment in one of the following fields: environmental consulting, teaching, research (e.g., lab manager, research specialist), biotechnology and related industries. The program also offers a unique, interdisciplinary specialization in regenerative medicine.
