The Master of Science in Biotechnology program at Worcester State University will help you broaden your understanding of the biological sciences and prepare you for a career or a doctoral program in the growing field of biotechnology. 🔬

With classes available in the late afternoons and evenings, this flexible, part-time program is designed with working students like you in mind. Worcester State also offers a 4-Plus option for our current undergraduate biotechnology majors, that enables the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements to be completed in just 5 years.

The curriculum covers a wide range of topics in biology and chemistry, and some courses include a hands-on laboratory component, through which you will put classroom theory into practice. You will demonstrate your mastery of program coursework by completing a research project and writing a thesis, and passing a written and/or oral examination when you defend your thesis. 📚
