Academic Programs

students in the large-scale upstream suite

An international leader in educating and training in biomanufacturing and bioprocessing

The BTEC academic program includes many components: stand-alone courses, degree courses, minors in biomanufacturing (undergraduate, graduate), several Certificates in biomanufacturing (UCP, Post-Bac, GCP), Master of Biomanufacturing, and Master of Science in Biomanufacturing degrees. In addition, two BS degree programs (see the Related Programs), the Bioprocessing Science program (curriculum) and the Biomanufacturing Sciences Concentration in Chemical Engineering (curriculum) are designed to utilize the physical resourses and technical expertise that are part of BTEC in a significant way. Descriptions of the degree programs can be found in their respective sections, reached through the links on the left, the sections listed above, or from the titles of the following summaries.

Undergraduate programs

BTEC undergraduate programs include both non-degree and degree options. The non-degree options include a University Certificate, an Undergraduate Minor, and a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate—all in Biomanufacturing. Completion of each of the three options is acknowledged on an NC State transcript.
