Northwestern University McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science Masters in Biotechnology Program 2145 Sheridan Road Room E136 Evanston, IL 60208 US   Phone: 1-847-491-7399 Fax: 1-847-491-3728   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's Masters in Biotechnology On Campus   The Master of Biotechnology Program (MBP) at Northwestern University stresses the interdisciplinary nature of biotechnology through the integration of course work and program-specific seminars with an in-depth biotechnology research experience. A wealth of other seminars and lectures available at Northwestern further enhances each student’s education in modern biotechnology. Northwestern University, as a private institution with considerable financial strength, maintains a superior environment for research and training in the life sciences, engineering, and biotechnology. Successful research and training in biotechnology requires collaborations among scientists working in diverse areas. In this spirit, the MBP brings together students and faculty from a wide range of disciplines (chemistry, biology, medicine and engineering) that contribute to the biotechnology industry and to modern life-sciences and bioengineering research. Faculty research preceptors are drawn from several departments and programs within Northwestern University and the Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Research Institute. On-campus visits, lectures, and seminars by industrial scientists and engineers broaden student understanding of business, organizational, and ethical aspects of the biotechnology industry. The MBP maintains close connections with the biotechnology industry through its advisory board, individual professionals, company representatives, and MBP alumni. These connections contribute to the Program in several areas, including short- and long-term strategic planning, student placement, and curriculum development. Industry support for the MBP has also included donations of funds and equipment to enhance student training.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees An undergraduate degree in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, or one of the engineering disciplines such as chemical engineering or biomedical engineering   Pre-Requisite Courses At least one year of calculus, two terms of organic chemistry, two terms of physical chemistry (or at least two terms of general chemistry with the elements of physical chemistry) and some exposure to biology, microbiology, biophysics, or bioengineering  International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: GRE Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: 3.1 English Proficiency: Yes Research Competency: Yes Clinical Internship: Yes   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 5738  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 2082  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $3963  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $33408  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable
