US Universities for Masters in Biotechnology
By HSB
I have been trying to write US Universities offering Masters in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics for some time. In fact this is the first article I’m writing about M.S. in Biotechnology in US Universities.
I know few friends who are still in school doing M.S. Biotechnology in USC, Keck, IIT Chicago, University of Houston at Clear Lake (UHCL) and few are searching for jobs in Biotechnology field after completing Masters. Here’s list of Universities offering masters in Biotechnology.

Hi there, I’m a 3rd year undergraduate Biotechnology student from Egypt and I still have a year in University till I graduate.
I had a training in Newcastle university, UK the last summer in a Biotechnology international summer school.
Since the UK seemed too much to afford for me and since I’m more interested in coming to the US I want to continue my studies in the US starting with doing my masters in Biotechnology and related areas of study like Molecular Biology or Genetics.
so I want to know what are my chances? what do I need to do ? and one important thing which is the financial issues…
Regards.

You will have to search for schools in US that will accept 3 years degree. There are schools that accept students with 15 years of education, but finding those schools will take time.
I will be appearing for GRE. I want to know one thing that.. Is TOEFL a compulsion to take admission for masters in biotechnology in US. How much score do i need in GRE to get through the best colleges or universities in US..?

HI .. first of all I would like to congratulate and appreciate your efforts in maintaining this blog, and that too with such great professionalism. Secondly I would like to get some guidance from you -
My GRE score is 550 verbal + 800 Quanti + 4.0 AWA. I got 106 outta 120 in TOEFL iBT. My undergraduate CGPA is 9.63 out of 10, & this summer I will finish my B Tech in Industrial Biotechnology. I have done many trainings, presented papers and won prizes in national & international conferences. Currently I am doing a project on Cancer genomics.
I heard that for a really good career (exactly what I want), one has gotta do a PhD (for biotech related fields) So, based on that I have applied to the following univs for a PhD program (THESE UNIVS ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO GO DIRECTLY FOR A PHD PROGRAM, IF THEIR ULTIMATE AIM IS RESEARCH – WHICH IS MINE TOO)
UNIVERSITY CHARACTERISTIC REASON WHY I APPLIED
Univ California, Irvine
Univ California, Davis
Univ California, San Diego (too much california coz its the biotech hub)
Univ Texas, Austin (cheap state)
Univ Colorado, Boulder (good ranking)
Univ Arizona, Tucson (good, cheap state with Indian-type climate)
Another reason why I chose for the PhD program is that the MS progs dont have any significant funding, but it is ‘easier’ to get RA / TA / Fellowship in PhD progs. On the websites, it is mentioned that IF admitted, I will be put in MS prog first, then upon qualifying the PhD entry exam, I will be allowed to continue my work (if I want to) as for PhD
——————————–
Enough of my intro – I would be really indebted if somebody could comment on my decision to apply for PhD programs …. I have seen the details for MS progs in UT Dallas and SUNY Buffalo, but the lack of funding opportunities is prohibiting me from applying to them. Could anyone suggest if I have made a good decision, or should I apply to min 4 MS Biotech courses in addition… I am getting a bit nervous on my choice – coz 99% of people are applying for MS programs only. I have no issues with committing 5/6 years in PhD, unless my financial position deteriorates.
I would be glad if before making up your mind you could have a look at my online CV at

I am in 3yr microbiology honours. I want to pursue Msc in biotechnology in US or Canada. I got 1440 in Gre general (660 in english, 780 quantitative) and 108 in toefl ibt. I really dont know which all universities offer such a course and also which accept a 3 yr bachelor degree rather than a 4 yr one. pltz help. Also let me know whether i have the chance of getting scholarships.
Could you put your thoughts on wht is the minimum eligible criteria for getting scholarships related to MS biotech. I heard that scholarships r provided only when doing integrated Phd. Could you clarify?
Hello Raghu,
This is post is quite helpful. I would like to add a couple more universities here..
1. Penn state University
2. Texas A & M offers non thesis.
Georgetown only accepts students already there. It is an addition to the program.
love the blogs
Cheers

@NARESH: You cannot get admission with scholarship with GRE Score 950 for MS.
Which of these universities provide financial aid in biotechnology masters?
@Pramod: Read the ebook and other articles. Also, Adi’s job interview experience. That will get you started.
