生物技术是生物有机体，细胞或分子在创造产品或服务以改善人类健康方面的应用。生物技术理学学士学位课程通过分子生物学，细胞生物学，生物化学，基因工程和相关生物学科的培训，为学生应对环境，自然资源，农业和医学问题做好了准备。随着生物技术越来越多地用于解决此类问题，它提供了多种职业机会。该课程着重于在生物学，化学，微积分和物理学方面具有扎实基础的基础科学，为学生提供高级生物学和化学课程的准备，但鼓励其在社会科学，人文科学和环境研究方面的选修范围。该学位课程为学生提供了进入临床医学界或其他健康专业的足够广度。完成该
Biotechnology is the application of biological organisms, cells, or molecules to create products or services for the betterment of humans. The bachelor of science degree in biotechnology prepares students to tackle environmental, natural resource, agricultural and medical problems through training in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetic engineering and related biological disciplines. As biotechnology is increasingly used to address such issues, it offers diverse career opportunities. The curriculum emphasizes the basic sciences with a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, calculus, and physics that prepares students for upper-level biology and chemistry courses, but encourages elective breadth in the social sciences, humanities, and environmental studies. The degree program provides sufficient breadth for a student to enter a clinical medical career, or other health profession. Students who complete this major will be qualified to enter the growing biotechnology-related job market or continue their studies in graduate or professional school.
