Do you think this degree is useful out in the job market? I haven't been able to find a decent paying job with the BA in Bio so far and am wondering if this will open up more job opportunities for me.
My concern is that this program focuses more on the didactic science courses rather than lab skills that I feel like today's job market prefers. I also feel that I have already taken many science courses in the past, and for me to do this program is just to get a masters degree, not necessarily to enhance my knowledge of science.
I know that Midwestern also has a MBS program, but if the prospect of getting a job is relatively the same for both degrees, I'd rather choose the shorter - cheaper - one.
In other words, how useful is this program other than it being another thing to put in your application to boost your chance of getting accepted to med/dental schools? Any thoughts?
