BA/BS in Biotechnology

Biotechnology at UCF is a bachelor's degree that readies graduates for work in biomedical research, pharmaceuticals, genetics, laboratory science and biomanufacturing. It is housed in the College of Medicine and the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences. The curriculum also covers most of the prerequisites that a range of health-profession schools expect, so students can aim for a professional program after graduating. Entry follows a staged route: new majors begin as pending and advance once they pass a set of foundational biology and chemistry courses with strong grades. Those moving in from a Florida college should finish general education first and meet with an advisor each term. The program is offered through the Medicine college. The page quotes one per-credit-hour rate for Florida residents and a higher one for out-of-state students, and points readers to UCF's general cost information for a fuller estimate of what a undergraduate student will pay.
