Biotechnology

Biotechnology helps us make products that benefit humanity—they could be new medicines, better crops, or biofuels for a cleaner environment. With this major you’ll learn about molecular biology and the uses of biotechnology. Study the commercial, legal, and political considerations of bringing new developments to the marketplace, and learn to think critically about related issues like gene patents.
