Agricultural and Medical Biotechnology (AMBT) is a life sciences degree for students who wish to pursue opportunities in biotechnology, human health, animal health, agricultural productivity, and environmental sustainability.
SCIENCE IS IN OUR GENES
Inside the classroom, you will develop transferable skills in chemistry, biology, and genetics. You will apply these abilities outside the classroom during your independent research project while receiving mentorship by exceptional scientists. After completion of your research, you will publicly communicate your findings during a sponsored research symposium.
Our research experience allows you to develop employable skills, design experiments, troubleshoot, and draw conclusions from your observations. During this process, you will develop critical thinking skills useful in any career. Whether you are interested in human health, animal health, plant biology, or genetics, the research project develops you as a scientist. You will be well prepared for a rewarding life science career.
