分子与细胞生物学专业在分子科学到生态系统的各个规模上都结合了严格的生物学基础知识，从分子到生态系统都有着重要的细胞/分子生物学课程。该课程通过选修实验室为学生提供丰富的研究经验，并在生物学系或在当地生物技术或制药公司的实习中提供监督研究。
The fast-paced world of the molecular and cellular sciences is greatly advancing our understanding of complex processes at all levels of biological organization ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem levels, as well as using cutting-edge techniques to address real-world problems in biomedical, industrial, and ecological settings. At Sacred Heart University, Molecular & Cellular Biology majors will make meaningful contributions to these fields through their participation in research teams of fellow undergraduates and biology faculty. The Molecular & Cellular Biology major is interdisciplinary, combining a rigorous grounding in the foundational principles of biological science at all scales of organization from molecules to ecosystems with significant coursework in cellular and molecular biology. Through Sacred Heart's program, youll gain extensive research experience in elective labs and through supervised research with biology faculty or internships with local companies making use of molecular and cellular methods in their business (e.g., pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, breweries, hospitals).
