The Biotechnology program offers excellent exposure to the application of the principles of cell and molecular science and to the production of industrially useful or biologically important products. Because of dramatic recent advances within the field of biotechnology and their potential impact on society, the 21st century may indeed be remembered as the Age of Biotechnology.

To prepare students to successfully navigate within this exciting arena, the curriculum has been designed to provide students with a rigorous and interdisciplinary scientific foundation in the central disciplines upon which biotechnology is based, such as cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, chemistry, forensic science, and microbiology.
