About the course

Through the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems, biotechnology creates and produces products and solutions intended to improve the quality of human life. Students will gain the fundamental skill and knowledge necessary to obtain a job in biotechnology, engage in valuable, practical job experience through job shadowing and internship experiences, discuss the legal, ethical, and social issues associated with biotechnology, especially in relation to the Catholic tradition, and develop solutions to those issues, and begin to think about innovation in biotechnology. Local and global biotech/business teaching trips offer students exposure to biotechnology firms with established partnerships with universities outside of the U.S. provide opportunities for participation in an international dialogue and for insight to advances being made around the world. Program graduates will be work-force ready and well-positioned for success in the competitive global job market, for graduate study, and for career opportunities in research and professional positions in the pharmaceutical, medical, and agricultural industries.
