BS in Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the modern face of the biological sciences. It applies technological advances, particularly those involving the sciences of molecular genetics, recombinant DNA techniques, and molecular diagnostics to solve biological problems. Biotechnology universities and colleges strive to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to pursue careers in molecular biology, genetics, forensics, plant and animal sciences, food production, therapeutics, agriculture, and environmental sciences. 

Biotechnology courses allow students to specialize in areas such as cell and molecular biotechnology, medical biotechnology, or forensics biology.
