Life springs from the collective behavior of molecules and cells. Integrating both the life sciences and physical sciences, our curriculum prepares students to be molecular biologists by engaging in inquiry-based and student-driven courses and real-world lab experiences. 学生将参与独特, intensive lab work to gain knowledge and technical proficiency with the tools of the trade, opening doors to postgraduate study and careers in medicine, health-related fields and other professions.
Why 分子与细胞生物学 at 逊大学?
With a major in molecular and cellular biology, you will likely gain an interest in attending postgraduate programs because our curriculum incorporates many prerequisites for medical school and graduate school.
Student-faculty collaborative research, 包括一个高级项目, is a hallmark of the Stetson program. You will present your research at Stetson Showcase, a daylong springtime symposium that is a treasured university tradition. Students may also have the opportunity to present their work at a regional scientific meeting, such as the Florida Undergraduate 研究 Conference. The relationships forged between students and professor-mentors during this process are among the most distinctive elements of Stetson’s molecular and cellular biology program.

职业生涯的结果
The 分子与细胞生物学 major helps fill the need for general, 健康和医学研究人员, as well as for laboratory technologists and technicians. Nearly half of all positions in the field are filled by candidates with two years or fewer of experience, although job postings do indicate a preference for master’s and/or doctoral degrees.
The major will provide the foundation for students planning to go to graduate school for professional, 医疗或健康项目. 在过去的十年里, 48% of Stetson graduates have gone on to graduate programs in the health professions, 比如医十大娱乐彩票平台, 牙科学校, 足部医疗, 药理学和其他. Also, 27% have gone into master’s or PhD graduate programs in biology or other fields.
分子生物学家的就业, 细胞生物学家, biochemists and biophysicists is projected to grow 5% through 2030, 根据 U.S. 劳工统计局. The median annual wage for biochemists and biophysicists with a PhD was $102,270 in May 2021.
就业 of microbiologists with a bachelor’s degree, working in laboratories and offices to conduct scientific experiments and analyze the results, is also projected to grow 5% through 2030, 根据 U.S. 劳工统计局. The median annual wage for microbiologists was $79,260 in May 2021.
就业 of biological technicians with a bachelor’s degree, working to help biological and medical scientists conduct laboratory tests and experiments, 预计到2030年将增长7%, 根据 U.S. 劳工统计局. The median annual wage for biological technicians was $48,140 in May 2021.
Students in the 分子与细胞生物学 major will take courses in general chemistry, 有机化学, 分子生物学与生物技术, 微积分, 生物统计学, 和更多的.
The culmination of the program includes a three-course series research capstone project in which students propose a research question, perform experiments and analyze acquired data. Students will then present their research findings in an oral and poster presentation.
