The Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology at the Eberly College of Science, Pennsylvania State University, provides a comprehensive education in the molecular and cellular sciences. The curriculum emphasizes laboratory skills and hands-on experience using state-of-the-art instrumentation and analytical techniques, preparing students for careers in research, industry, or graduate study. The program covers key areas including genetic engineering, pharmaceutical development, and bio-manufacturing, with two primary options: the General Option (broad biotech training with industrial co-op encouraged) and the Clinical Laboratory Science Option (includes a 10-month clinical practicum at an affiliate hospital). Students gain a strong foundation in the life and chemical sciences, and are also trained in ethical, regulatory, and societal aspects of the biotechnology industry.
