The USF Master’s Program In Biotechnology
represents a multi-college partnership and a truly
interdisciplinary collaboration. Participating colleges
include the College of Medicine, the College of
Engineering, the College of Public Health, the College
of Arts And Sciences and the College of Business
Administration. The program is designed to meet the
increasing demand for trained people in this exploding
area, which crosses the traditional fields of biological,
chemical, engineering, health and computer sciences.
It therefore builds on and complements the current
strengths of the university. The curriculum provides the
theoretical background, the practical training and, with
the internships, the work experience, which will equip
students with the essential tools for a successful career
in the field of biotechnology.
