Bachelor of Science in Biomanufacturing

The biomanufacturing bachelor's degree program develops the skills, abilities, and knowledge students need to work in the unique environment of biological production. It emphasizes the applied, quantitative analysis of biomanufacturing process design and performance to prepare students for employment in technical or quality positions in the manufacturing sector of the biotechnology industry, which includes biotherapeutics, diagnostics, supplies and services, and industrial products. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to design and execute a project that identifies possible options of new biomanufacturing technologies that serve as process improvements, including technical and financial benefits, and write a report evaluating those options with a final recommendation., and perform an investigation that requires them to analyze an Out of Specification (OOS) occurrence during a production step in the manufacture of a biological substance, perform the analysis to justify the batch disposition, and incorporate this into a CAPA (Corrective Action Preventative Action) report.

Qualified applicants are selected for admission based on a comprehensive review process that gives additional weight to the following:

Percentage of lower-division major preparation completed at the time of applying.

Completion of an associate degree in biomanufacturing, research and development, or equivalent.

GPA in lower-division major preparation courses.
