MA/MS in Biotechnology

This biotechnology master's degree prepares graduate students for roles inside industrial biotechnology settings. It sits within the College of Medicine and blends scientific theory with practical laboratory skills. Coursework relies on hands-on, multidisciplinary methods that build independent thinking, teamwork and communication. Students learn how products move from concept to development while mastering the molecular techniques that such work demands. A defining feature is the emphasis on applied training. Through thesis research in molecular biotechnology, students gain the laboratory experience that employers look for, which suits those who want to work at the bench in industry rather than pursue a purely academic path. The program is offered through the Medicine college.
