Biotechnology

Are you looking for a STEM degree that will allow you to get a broad education, rather than focusing on one highly specialized area? A biotechnology major may be just what you're looking for. You'll learn more about biology, chemistry, molecular biology, and biochemistry, giving you a well-rounded scientific education. Your core education will focus on the manipulation and function of genes. Courses within the major focus on the applications of biochemistry, genetics, and biological sciences for the preparation of new or clinical, industrial, and agricultural products. You'll learn more about DNA sequencing, genetic engineering, bioinformatics, biological development while exploring production processes, marketing, patent law, biotechnology ethics, and more. This growing field has seen many exciting developments in the past few years, and is perfect for those who want to dive deep into the world of genes and biochemistry. With rapid advancements and plentiful opportunities, you could one day lead a research team, be a teacher, or work for a government organization.
