Abstract:
Fourteen Departments in four different colleges of California State University, Fresno cooperated to create a comprehensive, interdisciplinary Professional Science Master’s (PSM) in Biotechnology degree, which creates graduates who are educated in scientific and technical skills with special emphasis in agricultural biotechnology, prominent in the region, as well as innovation management. This degree not only allows students to explore specific areas of biotechnology interest and expertise, but also provides a curriculum that is industry-responsive by including formal coursework in entrepreneurial skills with an additional industrial internship. The ultimate outcome is an enhanced level of interdisciplinary innovation and pedagogical sophistication.
