Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the use of biological components and/or processes to tackle human problems.

Most often, biotechnological solutions come in the form of products or tools. The Biotechnology Degree Program at JMU leverages the strengths of three founding departments–Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry–and Integrated Science and Technology. It also incorporates two colleges–Science and Mathematics and Integrated Science and Engineering–to provide a unique program with both scientific and technical depth and cross-disciplinary breadth. Students undertake a rigorous curriculum, rich with three critically important areas: hands-on laboratory experiences; critical analyses of both the how and the why of biotechnological solutions; and the development of transferable skills to keep up in a rapidly changing field.

In the Jordanian system: a minimum average of 70 on the 100 point grading scale. Or the equivalent in the U.S. system: a 'B' average or a 3.00 grade point average (GPA) on a 4.00 GPA grading scale. If your high school uses a different grading scale, please contact us.

If you do not meet the minimum requirements, you may still be considered for admission. Please contact us to explain your situation.
