The University of British Columbia Okanagan is introducing a Master of Biotechnology program that will prepare students to work in the biotechnology industry. The 16-month program combines coursework, laboratory training, and internships; 70% of the program credits come from hands-on training. Students will receive training in a variety of areas, including microbial, plant, and animal cell culture; genomics and bioinformatics; and molecular cloning. “This is a program that truly has it all,” said UBCO Professor and Biology Department Head Dr Perry Howard. “This focus on agricultural technology and biomanufacturing will prepare graduates for a wide array of roles in the sector.” The program will begin in Fall 2025.
