Our Master's program prides itself on offering a blend of business, science, and technology
in the academic setting, and a wide variety of stipend-supported research opportunities
in our friendly and collaborative environment.
External internships can also complete our research requirements. Those with a strong
entrepreneurial spirit may be interested in our dual MS/MBA program administered in
cooperation with TTU. TTU also offers a non-medical Biotechnology Program with a strong
focus on Agriculture.
Do you have what it takes to be the next generation of innovators? I hope you will
join us to help bring about the next cures and biomedical advances.
