The Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology major prepares you for a career in the biotech industry. The emphasis throughout the curriculum is placed on genes and the integrative complexity of the cell. You’ll gain an appreciation of how fearfully and wonderfully made we are as they study the details at the molecular level.
Freshman and sophomore courses are designed to provide a solid foundation in biology and chemistry as well as basic laboratory skills and safety. In the upper-level courses, you’ll use state of the art equipment techniques such as PCR amplification of DNA, protein electrophoresis, column chromatography isolation techniques, characterization of fatty acids and lipids, genetic engineering of mutant bacteria strains, and generation of vaccines. You’ll also engage in team-based research projects to simulate the interdisciplinary approach in modern science.
