Biotechnology, M.S. at Florida Institute of Technology

For more than 50 years, Florida Tech has challenged engineering, science, and technology students with a rigorous educational curriculum rooted in independent and collaborate research, interdisciplinary classroom studies, and a myriad of real-world learning experiences.

Florida Tech’s master’s in biotechnology program is just one of four graduate level specializations in biology, the others being cell and molecular biology, ecology, and marine biology.

The degree program is flexible with a wide range of course options and a minimum of required courses. Biotechnology curriculum covers general biological and chemical sciences, bioinstrumentation, bioinformatics, microbiology, molecular biology, and cell biology. Research is also a major part of studying at Florida Tech, including opportunities for both on- and off-campus laboratory work, and internships on a variety of projects in molecular medicine, diagnostics, agriculture, and environmental science. Students also have a heavy emphasis on enhancing communication skills through writing reports and giving oral presentations.
