I'm no science expert, but can a B.S. graduate of such a narrow prograrm expect to get an entry level job in the field, a research position or a place in grad school?

Well, of course they can. After all, the average molecular biology lab tech position doesn't involve any ecology. And graduates of these programs are likely to be interested in cell or molecular biology, so they're not likely to be applying to graduate programs in EEOB.</p>
<p>I just got the information on undergraduate institutions for my incoming graduate class -- out of the 60 first-year grad students in Harvard's Biological/Biomedical Sciences program next year, 9 of them are MIT grads. Clearly, MIT grads are doing well in the graduate admissions process despite their "narrow" degrees.</p>
