High School
Take as many science classes in high school as possible, including biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Researchers must be able to effectively convey their findings to colleagues, as well as to company and organization executives who do not have hard science backgrounds, so it’s important to take English and speech classes to develop your writing and oral communication skills. Other recommended courses include mathematics, statistics, computer science, foreign language, health, and social studies.
