Biotechnology is a new program at TWU that offers students a wide variety of options including a major, an honours program, a multidisciplinary major in biotechnology and chemistry, and an interdisciplinary major in biotechnology and business. A degree in biotechnology is a unique experience which gives students knowledge in both science and business. The degree also approaches ethical concerns from both a scientific and Christian perspective, allowing students to contribute reasoned and ethical interpretations to the discourse of the biotechnological marketplace. Biotechnology students have the opportunity to not only study science and business courses in the classroom but also can do research alongside biotechnology experts. In addition, the program meets standard entry requirements for medical and other professional schools. Students have the option of four biotechnology programs. An on-campus Ecosystem Study Area is available for students to put classroom techniques into practice. Internships and co-op placements are incorporated into the programs to give students marketable skills and an employment advantage.
