Biotechnology
|
| Description: | Biologists ask questions such as: How does an ecosystem remain productive? In what ways do fungi adapt to their environments? How do single-celled organisms lead their lives? From biomolecules to the biosphere, the Biological Sciences consider life in all forms. As the most broadly based Biological Sciences program, this degree will provide you with a marketable set of transferrable skills upon graduation. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur while actively working on problems in class, during tutorials, and in the laboratory.
Biotechnology integrates knowledge from the traditional disciplines of biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, and chemistry and focuses on applications to commercial biological products or services. Courses in the proposed Biotechnology concentration cover a range of topics, including business and entrepreneurship, data science, microbiology, engineering, pharmacology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genomics and bioinformatics.
