Albany State University, a historically Black educational institution in Georgia, has launched a new master’s degree program in integrated biotechnology. The program will be available beginning in the Spring 2025 semester.
The innovative STEM degree will be offered through Albany State’s department of natural sciences. The fully online program requires four semesters of study, giving students the opportunity to earn their degree in as little as two years.
The program’s curriculum will cover topics such as genetic engineering, medical microbiology, and molecular diagnostics. Additionally, students enrolled in the program can choose to focus their studies on one of two concentrations: a biomedical track, focusing on health-related applications, or an environmental track, focusing on ecological and sustainability challenges.
“At Albany State University, we pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to innovation in education and our dedication to fostering student success,” said Lawrence Drake, president of Albany State University. “This forward-thinking program is meticulously designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for thriving in the rapidly expanding biotechnology sector.”
