The field of biotechnology has emerged as a major contributor to the
advancement of agriculture, medicine, and environmental sciences.
Recent developments in biotechnology, particularly molecular biology,
promise major improvements in agricultural productivity, breakthroughs
in human health care, and new solutions to environmental problems.
The biotechnology curriculum is designed to provide students with
fundamental knowledge and laboratory skills in biotechnology, including
molecular biology, and a firm foundation in biology and the physical
sciences. The primary objectives of the program are to broadly educate
students for positions in the rapidly developing biotech-nology
industry and to prepare students for graduate and graduate/professional
study in the life sciences. The strong life and physical sciences
foundation of the curriculum involves extensive laboratory and course
work and research experience, as well as specializations in the
following fields: animal biotechnology, microbial biotechnology, plant
biotechnology, and bioinformatics.
