Applied Molecular Biology and Biotechnology / Medical Sciences 4+1 (BS/MS)

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Molecular Biology and BiotechnologyMedical Sciences (MS) 4plus1 is available for highly motivated undergraduate students to complete the Applied Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (AMBB BS) degree and the Medical Sciences (MS) degree in a total of five years of full-time study.Biotechnology uses knowledge obtained about organisms at the molecular level to inform diagnostic and therapeutic decisions, create new treatments using stem- and gene-therapies, produce novel biopharmaceuticals and help address global problems such as world hunger through genetically modified plants. The Program in Applied Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BAMBB) will prepare students to work in a wide variety of biotechnology-related settings. With a locked-step curriculum, the program will emphasize hands-on training and practical experience, while providing a solid foundation in the basic subjects from which biotechnology evolved. Faculty from academia and industry will give students a broad perspective of biotechnology’s applications and possibilities. Integrated into the curriculum are required practical internships, where students will gain additional experience in real world laboratory settings.
