Adelphi introduces a Master of Science (M.S.) degree with a concentration in biotechnology. This innovative program prepares students for careers in this rapidly expanding and dynamic discipline and in the related fields of pharmaceuticals, biomedical research, cancer research, and laboratory medicine.
Adelphi offers a unique course of study that provides a solid foundation in the sciences with training in business to give students the expertise to succeed in both scientific and business environments. The program includes critical training in laboratory safety, research ethics, and 21st century instrumentation and techniques. The required internship offers invaluable first-hand experience.
Students interested in the biotechnology concentration must first be admitted
to the M.S. program in biology through the regular application process and complete one semester (12 credits) of graduate courses. Application is then made to the Graduate Academic Affairs Committee. Students admitted to the M.S. in biology who are interested in biotechnology may take relevant courses such as "Introduction to Biotechnology" without the business courses and internship to help them determine if they want to pursue the concentration.
