  Why BioTech?

We are experiencing an unparalleled boom in the already significant biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, particularly in the Boston area.

Why BioTech at NU?

A January 1999 study by the accounting firm Ernst & Young shows that the New England area has surpassed San Francisco, for the first time, in the formation of firms searching for gene-based drugs. It is estimated that the Massachusetts biotechnology industry now employs triple the number of employees that it did in 1991 (25,000 currently and increasing). Our plan for a practice-oriented, three-track professional M.S. program in biotechnology, therefore, has a strong basis in our geographical region.
