Overview

Bachelor of Science - Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the direct or indirect use of living organisms in an innovative manner in the production of goods and services, or to improve existing processes. 

Applications of this science include the diagnosis and treatment of disease, genetically modifying agricultural crops and the production of vitamins, pharmaceuticals and other economically important products.

York’s Biotechnology program prepares you for a career in this exciting, steadily growing field. 

This program teaches not only the underlying science but also exposes you to relevant social, legal, ethical and business issues.

This program has been designed to provide a well-coordinated synthesis of carefully selected courses in molecular and cell biology, genetics and biochemistry with others in computer science, economics, business and ethics.

Biotechnology is the application of science and engineering in the innovative use of living organisms to create new products that improve the quality of our food, our health, and our environment.
