    Associate of Science Programs in Molecular Sciences

    Those who have completed secondary school have the option to go to university without the common four-year commitment. An Associate of Science program, which can be finished within two years, can be used as a stepping stone to higher management positions, a career change, or entry into the workforce.

    What is an Associate of Science in Molecular Sciences? This program provides a foundation in molecular biology, synthesis and molecular design, applied chemistry, biomolecular engineering, and cellular biology. Ethics, laboratory operations, and scientific integrity often complement these courses. Students may have the opportunity to work with public health agencies, research laboratories, or biotechnology companies to complete individual research projects.

    Those who complete this degree tend to improve their research skills to increase their value to employers and find answers to common industry problems. Graduates also take with them laboratory management and organization skills, which help them be more viable job candidates, potentially opening doors to management positions.

    The course levels, location, and length all play a part in how much an associate degree in molecular sciences costs. Online programs from the same institution may also cause a difference in price. It can be helpful to contact schools directly for more information.

    Often found in laboratory, research, health care, and education settings, jobs stretch wide for graduates of this program type. Some job titles include laboratory technician, biology teacher, research specialist, molecular biologist, and cellular biologist. Some graduates find these studies useful for positions such as quality assurance specialist or product developer for medical diagnostic devices, or production technician.

    Many schools now offer both online and on-campus options for furthering your education, and each come with their own pros and cons.
