Program Overview
With a focus on experiential learning, our biology and biotechnology program provides students with a range of career opportunities on the North Shore and in the Boston region, our nation's biotech leader.
Program Overview
In the post-genome era, as incredible advances have unlocked our genetic information, biotechnology has emerged as the third great technological revolution of our time, along with the Industrial and the computer/information technology revolutions before it. As a student in the biology and biotechnology program at Endicott, you'll receive cutting-edge technical training in courses and laboratory sessions that, together, provide knowledge and methodological skills in areas like:
- Genomics
- Bioethics
- Molecular Biology
- Bioinformatics.
Whether you pursue an internship at a startup company in Endicott's STEM incubator, a nearby biotechnology company, or a hospital, opportunities are numerous. To view our internship opportunities, select the “Internships and Careers” tab atop the page.
Discoveries and applications related to biotechnology present a multitude of career opportunities in fields such as:
- Biotechnology
- Pharmaceuticals
- Research and Development
- Health
- Food and Nutrition
- Energy
Program Highlights
- Amazing internship opportunities - startups, research universities, medical centers, and local biotech companies make for diverse options.
- Diverse career options - work in a biotechnology or pharmaceutical company, research institute, or hospital; pursue graduate or professional school to become a doctor, physician assistant, dentist, pharmacist, or run your own research lab.
- Outstanding facilities - teaching/research labs, computer labs, and specialized facilities that include a DNA sequencing center, tissue culture room, fluorescent microscopes, high content imaging system, chemical instrumentation, Anatomage virtual dissection table, and augmented and virtual reality simulations.
- Incubator space - room for startup companies (including student and faculty initiatives) which provides internship opportunities.
- Technical skills - develop biotechnology lab skills and learn how to do data analysis (e.g., statistics, bioinformatics) by coding in R.
