Engineering the Future of Modern Medicine
We are excited to launch the new MS in Biopharmaceutical Technology program. Our free application will open in January 2025.
The Master of Science in Biopharmaceutical Technology (MSBT) degree is being offered by the Department of Pharmaceutical and Administrative Sciences in the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. It is your gateway to transforming the biopharmaceutical industry. Whether you aim to contribute to the next wave of innovation in therapeutic biological product development and manufacturing or ensure the quality and safety of the biological products, an MS in Biopharmaceutical Technology from Western New England will prepare you to lead in this important and growing field.
Why Choose the Master of Science in Medical Sciences?
The field of biopharmaceutical technology is about creating therapeutic biological medicines from start to finish. Employees in this field contribute at many levels from the research, development, and manufacturing of new biological drugs to the design and improvement of the equipment and instrumentation that produce them, and to ensure safety and efficacy of the therapeutic products through regulatory compliance.
This program offers a comprehensive education in biopharmaceutical technology with a unique focus on Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMPs), including cell and gene therapies, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicines.
With a background in sciences, engineering, mathematics, or pharmacy sciences, this degree equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to advance within the fields of biotechnology, biomanufacturing, bioprocessing, biopharma, and cell and gene therapy.
