The Master of Science in Biotechnology and Management degree requires the successful completion of 36 credits, including a capstone project.
The Project Management Post-Baccalaureate Certificate requires 15 credits.
The two credentials taken separately require a total of 51 credits. However, following the pathway below, students can complete both credentials with as few as 45 earned credits.

If applicant does not hold a biology or related degree, prerequisites can be completed through the Mount’s online, self-paced supplemental bridge modules designed to provide an adequate foundation in chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and genetics. These optional bridge modules are also available for those who have not taken these courses in the last several years and would like a refresher.

Project Management is one of the top ten technology skills in demand and an area in which companies are currently hiring, even in the current economy. Evolving trends show an increased demand for quality products and services, requiring a disciplined approach to managing projects. Federal agencies are increasingly specifying in Requests for Proposals that organizations have certified project managers on their staff. This post-baccalaureate certificate program will help to prepare you for the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Professional exam. All Project Management certificate courses are offered as a cohort at the Frederick Campus.
