Biotechnology, BS
The biotechnology program emphasizes coursework and training in many aspects of molecular biology, genetics, plant tissue culture, animal cell culture, DNA analysis techniques, protein isolation and recombinant DNA techniques. Students with the required grade point average may enter the biotechnology master's degree program directly. The program is designed not only to train students in the necessary technical skills but also to provide them with the theoretical basis for continued study. Graduates are prepared to pursue further graduate study in biotechnology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and other related areas or to obtain employment in academic, clinical, industrial, or government research laboratories.
What Will You Learn?
In our biology/biotechnology programs, students learn in-demand skills that employers have identified as critical for job candidates, including:
-Knowledge of living organisms, structure and behavioral interactions, and molecular processes.
-Collecting, organizing, interpreting and evaluating scientific information.
-Critically analyzing biological information, including experimental data.
-Drawing valid conclusions from experiments, among others
The biology major is the most popular and straightforward (no extra coursework required) route to gaining admission to all medically related professional schools to pursue a degree as a doctor, dentist, veterinarian, pharmacist, physician’s assistant, physical therapist (PT), or medical perfusionist. The biotechnology major prepares students for careers in academic, clinical, industrial, or government research labs, and for graduate study in biotechnology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and related fields.
