The USF Master's Degree Program in Biotechnology represents a multi-college partnership and a truly interdisciplinary collaboration. Participating colleges include the Morsani 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 Major 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. The curriculum has been designed accordingly and provides the theoretical background, the practical training and, with the internships, the ''real life'' experience, which will equip students with the essential tools for a successful career in the field of biotechnology. In 2008, the USF Biotechnology major was recognized by the Council of Graduate Schools as Professional Science Master's Program. Graduates take jobs in the Biotechnology Industry or move on to a Ph.D. Degree Program, Medical School, Dental School, Veterinary School or Pharmacy School. The Master's Degree Program in Biotechnology can be obtained in 3 semesters of study and is available for full-time and part-time enrollment.
