Our agricultural and medical biotechnology (ABT) students have a variety of interests, but they all share one thing in common: they want to use science to improve lives around the world.
Many paths. One biotech degree.
We emphasize hands-on learning in genetics, molecular biology, genetic engineering, chemistry, and biology to train tomorrow's scientific leaders. Whether you are developing treatments for a genetic disease or genetically engineering drought resistant crops, you will learn to combine basic scientific concepts with problem-solving and critical thinking skills to solve medical and agricultural problems.
A Versatile Degree For Many Science-Based Careers...
Many ABT graduates pursue advanced degrees in areas such as health care (e.g., medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and physician assistant studies), agriculture, biological sciences, law, molecular biology, and veterinary sciences.
There are also many ABT graduates who immediately enter the workforce. This bachelor of science degree will prepare you for positions with biotechnology organizations, government and public affairs, academia, research and development, and more. Future employment can include work with:
Human Genetics Public Health Pharmaceutical Development Food Safety Genetic Engineering Vaccine Production Bio-Manufacturing Bioinformatics Fermentation Biotechnology Plant Genetics Genomics Medical Device Development Forensics Bio-fuel Production Research and Development
International Opportunities
Should you choose, you can gain international experience while earning credit towards your degree. We offer a variety of study, research, intern, and service abroad programs for all budgets and comfort levels. Some students have even earned grants and scholarships to fully fund their international experiences.
These programs are designed to broaden your mind and introduce you to unfamiliar ways of thinking and living. Ultimately, these experiences will make you a more competitive applicant in the global workforce.
