Бакалавр наук - БИОТЕХНОЛОГИЯ

Biotechnology may be broadly defined as the application of principles of molecular and cell science in the production of biologically important or industrially useful products. Therefore, students in the Biotechnology major will

acquire a strong foundation in the life and chemical sciences,

learn how fundamental science is applied to problems through biotechnology,

develop basic laboratory skills, perform standard techniques, work with state-of-the-art instrumentation, describe and evaluate the analytical methodology used in biotechnology, and

become familiar with societal concerns and governmental regulations regarding the biotechnology industry.

One very important strength of this major is the extensive laboratory experience each student receives. In the General option, students are very strongly encouraged to consider Cooperative Education with industry as an integral part of their curriculum. In addition to the General option in Biotechnology, the major also offers the Clinical Laboratory Science option.

At the Eberly College of Science, home of the biological, physical, and mathematical sciences, our curiosity drives us to advance scientific knowledge. And our eagerness to explore is only matched by our determination to improve society and build a better future.
