- Description
- The Master of Science in Biotechnology is designed to broaden student knowledge and skills in the life sciences, particularly with regard to their practical applications in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and manufacturing industries, and to prepare students for a professional career in biotechnology or for doctoral study. Classes are usually held in the evenings and include lectures, laboratory experiences, research methodology, and seminars in current topics. Research, analytical, and communication skills are developed through original research, culminating in a written thesis and defense. In addition to the matriculated program, courses are open to students who hold a Bachelor’s degree in a biological subject, biotechnology, or chemistry.
