Bolster Your Future in Biology<\/h2>\n

Curious about how biology drives innovation in medicine, agriculture, and sustainability? The Biotechnology minor at Eastern Washington University gives you the knowledge and practical skills to turn scientific discoveries into real-world solutions.<\/p>\n

Designed for Biology and Biochemistry majors, this hands-on program combines molecular biology, genetics, and industry-specific training to prepare you for in-demand careers in the rapidly growing biotech sector.<\/p>\n

You’ll gain valuable experience in areas such as gene editing, cell culture, regulatory affairs, manufacturing best practices, and many others.<\/p>\n

Your education will also extend beyond the classroom, offering career-connected learning that prepares you for opportunities in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and related fields.<\/p>\n

The Biotechnology minor can be a significant asset in launching your career. For example, after completing coursework equivalent to the minor, Elizabeth Cu\u00e9 landed a job at ALK Source Materials in Post Falls, Idaho, upon graduation.<\/p>\n
