Biotechnology is a dynamic and multidisciplinary field that draws from biology, chemistry, engineering and other areas in the life sciences. It is one of the largest and fastest growing industries, and includes biopharmaceuticals, biotherapeutics, biofuels, biofoods, biomaterials and a wide array of other products and services that harness the power of technology to improve our lives and our planet.
At Christopher Newport, biotechnology intersects with business to advance ways of delivering innovative new products and technologies to the market. The Biotechnology and Management Program prepares students for leadership in this exciting field, with a key focus on intensive interaction with business leaders and internships at regional biotech companies and laboratories.
