The Program
The Program in Biotechnology and Biomedical Science offers both the master of science degree in biotechnology and biomedical science, and a graduate certificate in biotechnology.
Facilities
The modern facilities of the university’s Biology Department support current research techniques in biotechnology and biomedical science. Graduate students can work in special, well-equipped research laboratories with access to equipment such as DNA sequencing and analysis, real-time PCR, wide-field and confocal microscopy, image analysis, protein and DNA analysis, immunoassays, a greenhouse, and appropriate animal care facilities.
Eligibility for Courses
All 600-level courses, with the exception of BIOL 694 , BIOL 698 , and BIOL 699 , are open to appropriately prepared advanced undergraduates and nonmatriculated students, and all 600-level courses require the permission of the instructor. Please consult UMass Boston’s undergraduate catalog for complete information about the undergraduate courses listed as required preparation for individual graduate-level courses.
Descriptions of courses required of all MS students appear below. Descriptions of elective courses may be found in the “Biology ,” “Chemistry ,” “Environmental Sciences ,” and “Applied Physics ” sections of Course Descriptions.
