Biotechnology is described as the application of biological systems or processes to the manufacturing, agricultural, health and service industries. It combines knowledge and techniques from several areas of life sciences and engineering. Colorado State has a unique program called the BIOTECHNOLOGY INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES PROGRAM (BISP). It allows students to gain an understanding of how their disciplines interface with others in the rapidly growing field of biotechnology.
Students in the BISP complete 21 credits in core and elective courses. Electives are drawn from 20 different departments and are tailored to the individual student's interests. Completion of the program is certified on the student's transcript. Students with a BISP certification are well-qualified to continue graduate studies in a biotechnology discipline or to directly enter a career in research, production or marketing.
