Biotechnology Concentration     Our department introduced a new undergraduate concentration in Biotechnology, in the fall 2008 UT catalog. Formerly, this was a track within the umbrella concentration, Biotechnology, Plant Science and Horticulture. Curriculum (year-by-year listing of courses in this concentration for freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years) Department of Plant Sciences section of the 2008 UT Undergraduate Catalog For more information, contact Dr. Neal Stewart or Dr. Bob Auge' The biotechnology concentration is designed for students wishing to pursue advanced degrees in plant molecular biology and biotechnology and/or careers in the plant biotechnology industry. For example, the curriculum will prepare students to be competitive for entrance into MS and PhD degree programs, which in turn, prepare students for life as professional scientists. Alternatively, the plant biotechnology industry and biotechnology-affiliated industries have recurrent demand for competent BS-level scientists. One hallmark of the degree is requirement for students to participate in research directly in an affiliated faculty member’s lab. This hands-on experience is reported by students to be a highlight of their degree program.
