Master of Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at Johns Hopkins University

For a biotechnology enterprise to be successful, it requires trained professionals who understand science and are also skilled in the complexities of biotechnology commercialization. This program brings together a strong science foundation with biotechnology enterprise and entrepreneurship. The program is intended for biotechnology professionals who seek a career beyond the laboratory, either within an existing biotechnology group or organization, or for those who seek to start a new biotechnology enterprise. The curriculum is designed to prepare the next generation of interdisciplinary professionals to address the enterprise and regulatory challenges organizations face in the biotechnology industry.

Students will complete 10 graduate courses, including a final practicum course to gain real-world experience. Students may choose three electives across a broad range of science, enterprise, and regulatory courses, or they may choose a concentration in Legal/Regulatory.

Students entering this program will have completed the prerequisite courses in biochemistry and cell biology. Students take seven required core courses, including a practicum.

This degree program is designed for full-time working adults and should take approximately three years to complete, although students may accelerate completion of the program if they wish. The entire 10-course curriculum may be completed fully online. The faculty members work in the industry for both private, biomedical science organizations, and the federal government, including the Food and Drug Administration.
