Bio major career prospects

I'm not a bio major, but my one of my high school best friends is (at a different university). He is pairing it with chem and is considering going into pharmaceutical research or other lab research development type careers. Probably going to require more school though, so not sure if that answers your question. Or if you have taken a broad range of sciences, you might be able to go into nanotech?

Take some business or econ courses and maybe you can go into some type of environmental, bio-medical, or bio-tech consulting. A lot of big firms have departments that could use someone with a biology background, so long as your business acumen is sufficient.

If you are math smart, take some CS and Stats classes and pivot into a data science role

Honestly sucks that you are a bio major and not PhD/Med school bound ... your gonna have a tough time, maybe Genetic Counseling school? That’s actually a really cool path

Nothing wrong with a biology degree, but also getting business and cs minors would go a long way and make you more attractive to recruiters. But either way, you’re graduating from Cornell so that alone carries weight.

if you are frosh/soph, ambitious and willing to spend an additional year or 2, you can take some physics, math and CS classes and try to transfer into Bioengineering at CoE... it will open a lot more doors and your story will look really great for grad schools or employers

Just make sure you do the university-wide business minor. Chances are you'll end up in consulting or some type of advisory role, in which you'll need to have some level of business acumen. Graduating from Cornell, your major won't be a huge factor when applying to jobs, unlike lesser schools where they won't consider you if you don't have the right major. IK plenty of english and bio majors here that went into IB without really any issues, but the key was that they had minors in business, econ, cs etc... (any of the business/ applied stem fields).

take some ethics and econ classes and go into a public health masters and then try to work in healthcare management... this isn't a very prestigious route but public health MS programs are growing in-demand
