ACADEMIC PROGRAMS COMMITTEE REPORT TO THE ACADEMIC SENATE AP Program for Applied Biotechnology Studies (PABS); Master of Biotechnology (MBt)

BACKGROUND There is a looming shortage in the supply of a technically trained workforce in California and in the nation. The Professional Science Master’s (PSM) degrees have been recognized as a solution to this problem. Accordingly, the Biological Sciences Department has submitted a proposal to introduce a multi-campus and collaborative Program for Applied Biotechnology Studies and a Master of Biotechnology. The PSM degree will be awarded by the Biology Department on each of the participating campuses (CPP, CSUF, CSULA). Each Campus will have a coordinator. RESOURCES CONSULTED: Jill Adler-Moore, Nancy Buckley, Winny Dong, Jean Gipe, Don Hoyt, Cordelia Ontiveros, Mandayam Srinivas.

DISCUSSION This is a unique program that has implications not only in California, but also nationwide. This program has already been approved at the other participating campuses. The CSU Chancellor’s Office is committed to supporting the development of PSM programs at select CSU campuses based on the positive results of surveys that demonstrate regional workforce needs and students’ interest. The Sloan Foundation is supporting the CSU Chancellor’s Office initiative to coordinate the development of new PSM programs in three regional areas within the California Innovation Corridor: in Northern California, in San Diego, and in the Los Angeles Basin, to which this program belongs.

Discussion (cont’d) The PABS curriculum will focus on preparing graduates for the workforce in biotechnology companies where knowledge of molecular and cellular biology, mathematical modeling, mining of biological database engineering concerns in the production of biomedical products. Students with bachelor’s degrees in molecular or cellular biology, biochemistry, applied mathematics, engineering, computer science or business and an interest in working in companies involved in these areas are candidates for acceptance into the program.

RECOMMENDATION The Academic Programs Committee recommends approval of the referral AP Program for Applied Biotechnology Studies (PABS); Master of Biotechnology (MBt).
