Overview

The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with Biotechnology program at Boston University offers a unique dual-degree pathway that combines a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology with a Master of Arts in Biotechnology. This comprehensive program is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in biochemical and molecular biology while equipping them with practical biotechnology skills applicable to research, industry, or further academic pursuits.

What you'll study

The program consists of two components: the undergraduate BA and the graduate MA. Students first engage in foundational studies in biochemistry and molecular biology, followed by advanced training in biotechnology.

Undergraduate foundation (BA component)

• First Year Research in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
• Biology
• Cell Biology
• Human Anatomy
• Human Physiology
• Intensive Cell Biology

Graduate-level biotechnology training (MA component)

The MA coursework delves into biotechnology concepts and their applications, building upon the knowledge gained during the BA. Students will typically complete a structured sequence of graduate courses and may undertake additional requirements, such as advanced seminars and a culminating academic project or thesis, aligning with the current curriculum of the MA in Biotechnology.
