- The business emphasis anticipates the needs of a growing biotechnology industry that needs employees who have been trained to handle management and marketing, and who also understand the special challenges and dangers in this scientific field.
- The computer science/bioinformatics emphasis introduces you to biological systems and helps you become proficient in both computer information systems and mathematics as you prepare to work in the field of bioinformatics.
- The engineering biomedical emphasis will prepare you to work as an engineer in a biotechnology-related field.
Internships at local biotechnology firms and molecular biology laboratories are also available to a limited number of students.
