Biotechnology
Biotechnology is the use of technology and applied biology to improve human life. Students lear n the fundamentals of biology and chemistry on their way to more advanced understanding of cellular biology, genetics, and microbiology. Students have opportunities to learn hands-on skills in the laboratory, working with DNA, enzymes, cells, and small or ganisms such as bacteria, fruit flies, and plants. To complete their degree, students engage in an internship in an academic or industry laboratory off campus. Biotechnology career opportunities exist in animal sciences, biomedical technologies, immunolo gy, pharmaceutics, forensics, and marine or environmental science. Graduates find employm
