Get ready for a thriving career in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals through hands-on training with cutting-edge equipment and specialized courses that boost your expertise, technical abilities, and professional network to advance your career. The biotech sector increasingly seeks skilled professionals with enhanced laboratory competencies, project management experience, and relevant skills aligned with today's industry demands. Earning a master's degree in this fast-growing field equips graduates to launch or rejoin the workforce with the essential knowledge, practical skills, and industry connections needed to excel in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, or biomanufacturing careers.
The Molecular, Cellular, and Biomedical Sciences (MCBS) department within the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture (COLSA) provides a professional Master of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biotechnology (MCBT). This non-thesis program meets the evolving educational and workforce requirements of bioscience sectors (including biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, biomanufacturing plants, and medical device manufacturers). The MCBT M.S. delivers flexible graduate education for working professionals from diverse backgrounds, as well as UNH undergraduates seeking specialized training before entering the job market.
