Overview

Key Features

While the Biotechnology program at Rhode Island College is very similar to that of the current B.S. in biology in the first two years, biotechnology majors can select elective courses from a variety of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, computer science, math and physics, which reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the biotechnology industry.

Biotechnology is an active growth area with career options emerging in a variety of sectors such as the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, and food science. The State of Rhode Island plans to invest significant resources ($45 million in fiscal year 2024) to develop a biotechnology sector in the Providence area. Rhode Island College is ideally situated to this site and has developed a program that will produce a technologically skilled workforce.
