The applied biotechnology major requires 122 semester hours of course work, including 41 semester hours of the university core curriculum. All courses and related activities required for the major cover general biological and chemical sciences, theory and methodology of biotechnology, bioinformatics, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics/genomics, general plant pathology and physiology, general entomology and insect/plant physiology, pesticide toxicology, genetics, medical entomology, and cell biology. The minimum number of hours required for an undergraduate major is 30 hours of course work in the discipline or a closely allied field. Of these hours, a minimum of 16 must be taken in upper-division (numbered 3000 or above) courses in the major area. The curriculum is the combination of laboratory skills, applied coursework and the biotechnology internship experience which complete an approved academic program for earning a B.S. degree in Applied Biotechnology.
