Biotechnology, Accelerated BS/MS

College of Technology  > Department of Engineering Technology  > Biotechnology, Accelerated BS/MS

The Accelerated BS/MS degree program is open to qualified undergraduate Technology majors in Biotechnology with specializations in either Bioprocessing or Bioinformatics wishing to continue their education at the graduate level upon completion of the BS degree. Students that are accepted in the accelerated program take up to six graduate credit hours that are applied to both the bachelors’ degree and master’s degree in Biotechnology. Students may pursue either the thesis project, or course-only master’s degree options. The BS degree will be conferred upon completion of the undergraduate curriculum requirements with appropriate graduate courses substituted for undergraduate courses. The graduate degree will be awarded based on existing requirements for the graduate degree in the semester the student applies and is admitted to the graduate program. Admission is not guaranteed. Application for the accredited program is recommended for undergraduates during their junior year. Application and completion requirements are available from Engineering Technology undergraduate advisors.
