Why Bloomsburg University’s Accelerated Program leading to both a Bachelor's and a Master's Degree in Biology in only 5 years is very good for students. The Master of Science Degree is rapidly becoming the professional working degree in Biology.  Professional biologists work in positions such as Microbiologist, Zoologist, Wildlife Biologist, Biological Technician, to highlight but a few of the diverse job opportunities.  Although the US Department of Labor (2012) list a Bachelor's Degree as the minimum qualification for entry-level positions in these fields, they quickly amend this to state that many positions expect a Master's Degree, and that a Master's Degree is universally expected to advance in these professions.  The professions named above are expected to experience better than average growth, adding ca. 23,600 new jobs to a 2012 base of ca. 210,400 jobs, for an 11% projected growth during the decade following 2012.  The US Department of Labor (20...
