Biotechnology at Kellogg

Those aspiring to become leaders in biotechnology must understand the interplay of technology, innovation, finance, management, regulatory and public issues that define the life science industry.

The biotech management program, supported by the Kellogg Center for Biotechnology, offers a balance of hands-on experience through projects with top biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical device companies, as well as traditional classroom learning with Kellogg faculty and industry executives. Courses provide the tools, frameworks and practical experience needed to become leaders in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and medical device industry, such as marketing of biomedical products, marketing of technology, valuations, intellectual property management, strategic alliances, venture capital, and effective management of commercialization, regulatory and public issues. The program is complemented by extracurricular activities such as weekly science basics sessions, cutting-edge biomedical “boot camps,” and workshops on innovative leadership for the biomedical industry.

The Biotechnology major provides a strong and broad foundation to excel in a broad range of leadership positions in the life science industry, including business development, marketing, product development, corporate development, consulting, banking and venture capital.
