Internships
The Master of Biotechnology Program is a non‐thesis, four‐semester, cross‐disciplinary program that leads to a Master of Biotechnology (MBIOT) degree. The program involves faculty from the colleges of agriculture, science, business, engineering, and veterinary medicine. Students complete a rigorous curriculum that includes:
Our program also stresses leadership and service in extra-curricular activities appropriate to the field.
Our program goal is to produce high quality science managers for the biotechnology industry. It is intended for students who want graduate training with an industry orientation in the life sciences; it emphasizes problem solving and technical skills and involves study in business and science.
The objectives of MBIOT internships are two‐fold:
The onsite industry mentors have the following responsibilities:
- Molecular biotechnology and genomics
- Technical writing
- Semester‐long industry internship
- Hands‐on laboratory‐based research
- Bioethics
- Business courses

The objectives of MBIOT internships are two‐fold:
- to enable students to apply their technical training to make an identifiable contribution in an area of practical concern to the industry where the internship is served; and
- to enable the student to function in a non‐academic environment and become aware of that organization’s approach to management, public relations, and other endeavors.
The onsite industry mentors have the following responsibilities:
- Help formulate the student’s internship goals.
- Provide direction to help the student achieve those goals.
- Complete a midterm and final evaluation of the student’s work.
- Review student presentation for confidential material.
Alumni CAREERS
