Target Student Population

The program is directed toward individuals with a science background and an interest in a management position. This may include people in the following positions, if they have an interest in a management career at a biotechnical or pharmaceutical company:

• Lab technicians

• Medical technicians

• Nurses

• Scientists who do not have a strong background in molecular biology

• Undergraduates who are about to complete their baccalaureate degree in biology or biochemistry

Current entry-level managers may have limited experience in the biological sciences or may have MPH or medical degrees. The program addresses the need on a more fundamental level, training students in both management and biomedical principles. Positions that would find such a dual degree of benefit include:

• Department or Group Manager at biotechnical/pharmaceutical company

• Director of Operations, Marketing Manager, Product Manager, Field Manager or Sales Representative at biotechnical/pharmaceutical company

• Director of Materials Management at biotechnical/pharmaceutical company or at an Integrated Healthcare Network

• Manager in a Public Policy Department at a state or federal government agency
