Most biological scientists need a Ph.D. degree in Biology or one of its subfields to work in research or development positions. A period of postdoctoral work in the laboratory of a senior researcher has become common for biological scientists who intend to conduct research or teach at the university level. Education and training. A Ph.D. degree usually is necessary for independent research, industrial research, and college teaching, as well as for advancement to administrative positions. A master's degree is sufficient for some jobs in applied research, product development, management, or inspection; it also may qualify one to work as a research technician or a teacher. The Bachelor's degree is adequate for some nonresearch jobs. For example, graduates with a bachelor's degree may start as biological scientists in testing and inspection or may work in jobs related to biological science, such as technical sales or service representatives. Some work as research assistants, laboratory technicians, or high school biology teachers. (See the statements elsewhere in the Handbook on clinical laboratory technologists and technicians; science technicians; and teachers-preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and secondary.) Many with a bachelor's degree in biology enter medical, dental, veterinary, or other health profession schools. In addition to required courses in chemistry and biology, undergraduate biological science majors usually study allied disciplines such as mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science. Computer courses are beneficial for modeling and simulating biological processes, operating some laboratory equipment, and performing research in the emerging field of bioinformatics. Those interested in studying the environment also should take courses in environmental studies and become familiar with applicable legislation and regulations. Prospective biological scientists who hope to work as marine biologists should have at least a bachelor's degree in a biological or marine science. However, students should not overspecialize in undergraduate study, as knowledge of marine biology often is acquired in graduate study. Most colleges and universities offer bachelor's degrees in biological science, and many offer advanced degrees. Advanced degree programs often emphasize a subfield such as microbiology or botany, but not all universities offer curricula in all subfields. Larger universities frequently have separate departments specializing in different areas of biological science. For example, a program in botany might cover agronomy, horticulture, or plant pathology. Advanced degree programs typically include classroom and fieldwork, laboratory research, and a thesis or dissertation. Biological scientists with a Ph.D. often take temporary postdoctoral research positions that provide specialized research experience. Postdoctoral positions may offer the opportunity to publish research findings. A solid record of published research is essential in obtaining a permanent position involving basic research, especially for those seeking a permanent college or university faculty position. Other qualifications. Biological scientists should be able to work independently or as part of a team and be able to communicate clearly and concisely, both orally and in writing. Those in private industry, especially those who aspire to management or administrative positions, should possess strong business and communication skills and be familiar with regulatory issues and marketing and management techniques. Those doing field research in remote areas must have physical stamina. Biological scientists also must have patience and self-discipline to conduct long and detailed research projects. Advancement. As they gain experience, biological scientists typically gain greater control over their research and may advance to become lead researchers directing a team of scientists and technicians. Some work as consultants to businesses or to government agencies. However, those dependent on research grants are still constrained by funding agencies, and they may spend much of their time writing grant proposals. Others choose to move into managerial positions and become natural science managers (see engineering and natural sciences managers elsewhere in the Handbook). They may plan and administer programs for testing foods and drugs, for example, or direct activities at zoos or botanical gardens. Those who pursue management careers spend much of their time preparing budgets and schedules. Some leave biology for nontechnical managerial, administrative, or sales jobs.

To enter the career field for biotechnology, one must have a degree in biotechnology. A masters or doctorate would definitely be best but for entry level jobs a smaller degree is still suitable.

Most federal jobs do not always require a college degree, however if you will be carrying a firearm you will be required to get a gun permit. You will need to have some kind of college or wildlife experience to have the necessary skills needed for this type of job.
He needed a control group. *Apex*
It is needed to cause the ions to seperate.
A Bachelors Degree from an accredited college or University.
Suggested studies for marine bioligy would be good to go to a college that focuses mainly on the marine bioligy subject.. I have searched many of these things since im training to become a marine bioligist.. Also you would need to spend about 4 to 8 years in college to become one.. Hope this helps someone! :-)
To become a pharmacy technician, a college degree is not needed. Visit PTCB.org and sign up for the exam. Then study and pass!
what ever it takes to get in to college a 4 year degree is required
No college is required to enlist in the US Marine Corps, a High School diploma is all that is needed. To be a US Marine officer, a Bachelors degree is pretty much required.
It really depends on where you want to work. I'm personally shooting for a masters in zoologyso that I have a few more options If I can't get a job in the main marine biology field and then get an actual degree in marine biology. I'm not sure what colleges have a Marine biology course but that shouldn't be too big of a problem to find out. So If you can't get a masters in Marine biology, Zoology should get you a job hopefully.
a jr. degree
It depends on what kind of doctor the person is aspiring to be, but probably all doctors require a Ph.D maybe even a DOCTORATE's degree lol.
For medical nursing, the credentials needed vary depending upon the area of specialty and practice. The degrees list from from CCRN (Nursing Certification), RN (Nursing licensure) to MSN (highest earned academic degree).
Phsycology degree
A High School diploma.
you have to be very strong
