Master's Programs

The Master of Biotechnology is a professional science master's (PSM), also known as a “science-plus,” degree program that combines an intensive science-based curriculum with a practical understanding of the many aspects of the biotechnology industry, along with effective preparation for entry-level employment and for successful careers thereafter in the dynamic biotechnology industry.

Master of biotechnology graduates are engaged in diverse careers in industry, including those related to discovery research, research and development, biomanufacturing, clinical research, global consulting work, business analysis and business development, procurement, intellectual property and regulatory work, and applied research. Some have also gone on to combine their master of biotechnology degree with a master of business administration (M.B.A.), juris doctor (J.D.), doctor of medicine (M.D.), or doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.
