The program is offered through collaboration between the mathematics and biology departments. Primarily during the freshman and sophomore years biomathematics majors complete core courses, then specialize during the junior and senior years. Specialization is based on interest in computer science, mathematics or biology, while retaining interdisciplinary training. The interdisciplinary nature of the program enables undergraduates who are interested in combining mathematics, computer science and biology to be more competitive for graduate programs and careers in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biomedical engineering, biomathematics or medicine. 188 Florida Tech 2013–2014 Degree Requirements Candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Biomathematics must complete the minimum course requirements as outlined in the following curriculum.

Elective Restrictions Choices of restricted electives are subject to approval by the student’s advisor. At least 30 elective credit hours must be at the 3000-level (or higher). MINOR PROGRAM A minor in biology is offered through the biological sciences department. A complete policy statement regarding minors can be found in the Academic Overview section. Information about current minor offerings is available through the individual colleges/departments. Biology (19–21 credit hours) Minor Code: 6021 Degree Awarded: none Age Restriction: N Admission status: undergraduate Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus BIO 1010 Biological Discovery 1 BIO 1020 Biological Discovery 2 Restricted Electives* *11–13 credit hours of BIO courses are required to complete the biology minor. The department offers many elective courses of either three or four credit hours each. Courses of four credit hours include a laboratory. At least one Restricted Elective must be a laboratory course (4 credit hour). The remaining 7–9 credit hours may consist of any combination of courses of three or four credit hours. Courses not allowed as electives include independent study, seminar and nonmajor biology courses. Note: Biology and Chemistry minors are not available to Biochemistry majors. At least nine (9) credit hours of the minor must be taken at Florida Tech. GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS Biological Sciences – Biotechnology, M.S. __________ Major Code: 8024 Degree Awarded: Master of Science Age Restriction: N Admission status: graduate Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus Admission Materials: 3 letters of recommendation, objectives, GRE The marine environment is a rich source of pharmaceuticals, polymers, diagnostic reagents and genetically diverse organisms. The biological processes of the majority of marine organisms are not well understood and the biotechnology industry lacks individuals trained to develop and practice biotechnology using marine animals, plants and microorganisms. The master’s program in biotechnology is a nonthesis program that builds on Florida Tech’s unique location on the Atlantic coast, and its established strengths in marine biology, marine ecology, natural products chemistry, molecular biology and biochemistry to provide a path for students who aspire to learn biotechnology and earn jobs in industry. The program is focused on those areas of biotechnology related to microbiology, natural products chemistry and molecular biology of marine organisms. Students are provided with a diverse combination of classroom experience, field studies, chemical and molecular biological laboratory techniques and development of communication skills most appropriate for an industrial or academic research career. The goal of this training program is to produce individuals with a strong interdisciplinary background in biology and chemistry, who will be qualified to meet the needs of biotechnology in industrial or academic settings. To provide additional experience with state-ofthe-art technology, students in this program have the opportunity to include summer internships in an industrial laboratory as part of their degree training. In most cases, these internships are related to collaboration between Florida Tech faculty and a particular laboratory in a biotechnology firm. Internship sites include Merck, Sharp and Dohme (Rahway, N.J.), Lederle Labs (Pearl River, N.Y.) and Zymogenetics (Seattle, Wash.). Those students wishing to receive internship training locally may substitute a research experience with Florida Tech faculty, subject to approval. Admission Requirements The applicant must have a bachelor of science degree in biology, chemistry, biochemistry or equivalent. Applicants deficient in organic chemistry, genetics, biochemistry or microbiology are required to take undergraduate courses before starting the master of science program. For this program, GRE scores (General Test only), three letters of recommendation and a statement of objectives are required. Admission decisions for fall semester enrollment are made by March 15, and for spring semester enrollment, by October 1. Degree Requirements The master’s degree in biotechnology is conferred on students who have successfully completed 30 credit hours that may include six credit hours of internship and/or three credit hours of research. Students are required to take Cell and Molecular Biology (BIO 5501) and Laboratory Methods (BIO 5016) in addition to at least one of the following three-credit hour courses: BIO 5012 Protein Biotechnology ............................................................ 3 BIO 5014 Plant Biotechnology ................................................................ 3 BIO 5539 Microbial Biotechnology ......................................................... 3 Remaining restricted electives include graduate-level biotechnology courses that may be offered by departments other than biological sciences. Coursework is selected under the direction of the student’s advisor and approved by the department head. The program concludes with a final program examination (oral). Biological Sciences – Cell and Molecular Biology, M.S. _____________________________ Major Code: 8022 Degree Awarded: Master of Science Age Restriction: N Admission status: graduate Delivery Mode/s: classroom only Location/s: main campus Admission Materials: 3 letters of recommendation, objectives, GRE The Master of Science in Biology – Cell and Molecular Biology prepares the student either for a professional career or for further graduate study. This goal is achieved through a balance of coursework and research activities. Admission Requirements General admission requirements and the process for applying are presented in the Academic Overview section. For this program, GRE scores (General Test only), three letters of recommendation and a statement of objectives are required. Admission decisions for fall semester enrollment are made by March 15, and for spring semester enrollment by October 1. Degree Requirements The master of science degree requires the successful completion of 30 credit hours, including formal coursework, presentation of a graduate thesis seminar, and preparation and oral defense of a thesis. The thesis involves the completion of original research of publishable quality. The student’s thesis research and program of study reflect the emphasis of the area chosen. All thesis research is conducted under the direction of an advisor and an advisory committee. The advisory committee is composed of at least three members: two from the department (including the advisor) and one from another academic unit. 2013–2014 Degree Programs—College of Science 189
