该生物技术和生物医学科学硕士课程旨在培养学生生物技术和生物医学科学中使用的理论和实验室技术，这是两个在国家和地方领域均日益重要的高科技领域。该计划为现代生物技术的基本原理提供了坚实的基础，并将这种理论理解与对各种实验室技能以及生物技术的计算机应用的深入培训相结合。该课程的课程包括必修的生物学和生物物理学课程，必修的两个学期研究实验课程以及生物学，化学和物理选修课程。这些课程的工作特别适合对生物技术，分子遗传学，组织培养和计算机化实验室技术等新兴领域感兴趣的学生。
Analysts predict biotechnology will be one of the most important applied sciences in the 21st century. Every day seems to welcome yet another important advancement in the field and, with each development, a chance to grow a business.Individuals who want take advantage of those advancements are invited to apply to the School of Engineering's master's in Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship program. We arm them with the skills to develop innovative products, they take those tools and launch high-tech businesses.To enhance relevant skills students who are interested in doing an internship in industry, e.g. a pharmaceutical company or a biotech start-up, should register for a Project course (elective). Biotechnology master's students can take Project courses too. To learn more about these opportunities see what our students say below.Subject to advisor's approval students can also take an elective course at other Schools within NYU. For example, Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship students can select a course at NYU Stern School of Business.
