About this Program

The biopharmaceutical sciences master’s program and the 4+1 (BChE/M.S.) program, focused on bioprocess development, are built on a collaborative and adaptive educational model that engages leading academic, industrial and government scientists. This informed training uses industry practice and expertise to create a strengthened pipeline that provides students with a holistic understanding of the biopharmaceutical industry, its regulatory frameworks, and the evolution of the industry as it moves into the future.

The program incorporates a unique model for integrated, 15-month internships in both the M.S. and 4+1 BChE/M.S. degree pathways, in concert with key industry partners that have partnered with 91Ô­´´. More broadly, the program leverages 91Ô­´´â€™s unique position at the intersection of the Greater Philadelphia, New York/New Jersey, and the Capital Region biopharma/biotech hubs, as well as 91Ô­´´â€™s leadership within the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing of Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL).

The program was built via collaboration with international leaders in biopharma and government to create a future-facing model for training and retraining scientists in the biopharmaceutical industry. The M.S. in biopharmaceutical sciences consists of 30 credit hours of graduate-level coursework and an integrated internship, completed over 15 months. 4+1 BChE/M.S. students have the opportunity to complete the traditional four-year bachelor’s program plus the biopharmaceutical sciences master’s program in one additional (+1) year.
