Harvard Launches MBA/MSc In Biotechnology
Harvard Business School’s new crossover qualification explores the intersection between business and biotechnology, and graduates will receive both an MBA and an MSc after two years of full-time study.
Throughout the course, students will encounter traditional MBA topics, alongside medical modules such as ‘Ethical Dilemmas in Biotechnology.’ Harvard hope that the program will train future leaders to meet the demands of science-based organizations, whether businesses or nonprofits.
The course will begin in August 2020, with a selective cohort of just seven to 10 students. Candidates with a life science or medicine background can apply in two rounds; by September 2019, or January 2020.
