B.S. in Biochemistry/MBA Joint Degree

This joint degree program is designed to develop scientists who can serve as managers, group leaders and analysts in chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical diagnostic and investment companies. Students completing this program will be able to understand and appreciate the nature of the scientific hurdles facing scientists, the financial and stakeholder pressures experienced by management, and the influence of this research on day-to-day corporate operations. The graduate is awarded a B.S. degree in biochemistry, and an MBA.

The program consists of courses required for a major in biochemistry, courses that fulfill all the undergraduate business foundation requirements and courses required to complete the MBA program at The University of Tampa. Provisional acceptance into the program will be granted upon completion of the application requirements and the course requirements for years one and two, with final acceptance granted upon completion of the application requirements and the course requirements for years one through three. Participants in this program are required to successfully complete three internships in biochemistry and business.
