GRADUATES OF THE CLINICAL SCIENCE (CS) OPTION ARE NEARLY 100 PERCENT SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOYED

The Clinical Science (CS) Option of the Applied Biomedical Sciences (ABS) degree offers a broad range of employment and career opportunities.

Advancing Biomedical Sciences Research and Technology

Students who graduate from the ABS-CS program play a role in advancing cutting-edge biomedical sciences research and technology. The scientific knowledge and hands-on skills they acquire in the program make them highly competitive and exceptionally prepared for employment in industry, academia, and government in a variety of fields associated with biomedical research, clinical diagnostics, including forensics, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Program graduates will be successful in gaining employment among the many disciplines within the biomedical sciences, in positions such as:

  • Biotechnology research and development (R&D) scientists.
  • Clinical and biomedical sciences laboratory research associates.
  • Pharmaceutical, diagnostics, and forensics laboratory technologists
  • Biomedical device and laboratory instrument technical and sales agents
  • Quality assurance/control (QA/QC) and laboratory safety personnel
  • Laboratory operations regulatory affairs officials

Graduates also find successful employment in research laboratories in academia, including clinical research in medical schools.

Learn through Classroom Instruction and Research Laboratory Experiences
