Overview
Applied Biotechnology program is designed with input from industry leaders in both the biotechnology and IT fields, and each feature a rigorous, multidisciplinary curriculum. The UW Master of Science in Applied Biotechnology will prepare students for a variety of roles within diverse areas of biotechnology, filling a growing need for professionals who know the science, understand the industry and diversity of the market, and have the business acumen to help their organization achieve success.
Students of the Applied Biotechnology degree program will graduate with an understanding of the principles and techniques of biotechnology, in addition to skills in organizational leadership, ethics, intellectual property and patents, communication, product development, quality control, and regulatory and compliance practices. Students will choose one or more specialization tracks: Quality Assurance and Compliance, Business Management, or Research and Development. The Master of Science in Applied Biotechnology will be offered in partnership with UW-Green Bay, UW-Madison, UW-Oshkosh, UW-Parkside, UW-Platteville, UW-Stevens Point, and UW-Whitewater.
Admission to both online programs will require a bachelor’s degree with prerequisite coursework. Aptitude tests such as the GMAT and GRE will not be required. The programs feature a flat-rate tuition that compares favorably to competing graduate programs from other institutions. Like other collaborative online University of Wisconsin programs, students will pay the same tuition whether they live in Wisconsin or out of state.
