The California State University’s Program for Applied Biotechnology Studies will offer a Master of Biotechnology beginning fall 2009. The PABS Master of Biotechnology is a Professional Science Master’s degree program that prepares graduates for challenging and rewarding careers in biomedical device, biocomputing and biopharmaceutical industry. The Program is an innovative collaborative effort between three California State University Campuses: Cal State Fulleron, Cal State Los Angeles, and Cal Poly Pomona.

Departments involved at these campuses include Chemistry, Biological Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science and Business. Each campus will offer at least one core course and one set of advanced courses. The CSU’s professional science master’s degree programs were featured as the most advanced in the nation at the National Governor’s Association Professional Science Master’s Academy held in June 2008 in Sacramento. The PABS-MBt has been recognized as a Professional Science Masters program in all of its six discipline areas by the Council of Graduate Schools.
