About the program
The Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology major is housed in the Biological Sciences Department. It refers to the long practiced skill of applying people's knowledge of the molecular basis of life processes for the benefit of society. While classic examples of biotechnology include using bacteria and enzymes to produce cheeses and using yeast to make bread and beer, modern applications exploit DNA-based technologies such as immunology, biochemistry, and microbiology to make new products or provide services to improve health care, agriculture, food, and the environment.
