Overview
Biotechnology is a rapidly growing sector of the United States and global economies. Its products are increasingly important in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disease. The Professional Master of Science Program in Biotechnology at Brandeis University (MS BIOT) equips students with skills to enter and advance in this dynamic industry. Graduates work in hospitals, biotechnology firms, bioscience research, and in the pharmaceutical industry. The Heller Social Impact MBA, with its specialization in Healthcare Management, primarily prepares students for work in organizations that manage healthcare delivery, research and policy (hospitals, insurance companies, biotech research and the like). The opportunity for MS BIOT students to acquire additional leading edge management skills via the Heller MBA, with its deep expertise in healthcare management, will optimally position them for significant leadership roles in a broad range of organizations in biotechnology and healthcare.
