生物技术理学硕士学位是与印第安纳大学和生物技术行业的科学家协商后设计的，目的是为学生做好生命科学职业的准备，这是参与生物技术的激动人心的时刻。除了疾病疗法，诊断方法和农产品改良的飞速发展外，生物技术产业还为全美国提供了强劲的就业增长。该计划的教职员工共同的目标是提供严格的实践培训总共需要30个学时，其中包括一个共同的核心课程。这是一个按需付费的课程，持续一学年。它总是在第二个夏季会议开始。
Biotechnology is a swiftly growing industry. From the food grown at our farms to the medicine we buy and the ways we clean up the environment, biotechnology affects many facets of our daily lives. Major developments in the field occur every day, with many introduced by academic and professional communities before the greater public is even aware of industry advancements.At the School of Engineering, youll join in these exciting discoveries. Course topics range from industrial application of enzymes and bio-polymer synthesis to modern drug design and the role of biotechnology in health care. The availability of various and varied electives enables you to specialize in selected biotechnology areas.The program also includes Advanced Cell and Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering courses, both with labs. Students can further enhance their research and analytical skills by registering for a Guided Study course. Taking two such courses will enable students to complete a body of research work equivalent to a master's thesis (optional). Students can also take a business- or management-related course from Biotechnology and Entrepreneurship M.S.
