Graduate Studies in Biology
The following is a compilation of graduate programs in the biological sciences that are located in New England. It is not necessarily a comprehensive list, and it is quite possible that some good programs have been overlooked during the creation of this site. The list includes both Master's and Ph.D. programs, and programs are broken down into more specific areas of concentration where appropriate. Programs in the general category "Biology" generally encompass some or all of the more specific areas included below.
Jobs in Biology
There are a wide variety of career paths that can be taken by students graduating with a degree in the biological sciences. These range from obvious choices like medicine, dentistry, and physical therapy, to choices such as working for a governmental agency or a biotech company. You don't have to wait until you graduate to begin exploring jobs in the biological sciences. Paid internships and short-term seasonal positions are frequently available for the summer (particularly in environmental fields) if you know where to look. This site is intended as a starting point for searching for jobs in the biological sciences.

Professional School in the Health Sciences
Medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, and veterinary medicine are among the most desired career paths for students entering college as a science major. Saint Anselm College offers all of the courses required for entrance into these schools. The Biology Department offers a General Biology (BI 03-04) course that is required for admission to most professional schools, as well as a number of additional courses that can help to prepare you for a career in the health sciences.
A health professions advisor (Prof. Carolyn Weinreb, Chemistry Department) is available to help you plan your undergraduate experience (both academic and extracurricular) so that you are best prepared to apply to and ultimately succeed in one of these schools. The health professions advisor is available to all students considering a career in health care, whether their decision is firm or the idea is one of several that they have in mind. The advisor also helps those who plan to apply for entry-level Master's programs in the allied health fields such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physician's Assistant programs. It is suggested that you meet with Prof. Weinreb early in your college career if you are interested in pursuing a career in any of these areas.
