Stephen Koury, PhD, is our department’s director of graduate studies, and Kate Rittenhouse-Olson, PhD, is director of our biotechnology undergraduate program.
The department offers courses of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in biotechnology or medical technology, or the Master of Science degree in biotechnology.
This program is appropriate for students interested in scientific careers in the rapidly expanding biotechnology industry. Interdisciplinary in approach, students create a curriculum from courses in various departments to suit their interest and focus.
Medical Laboratory Science, a field of applied biology and chemistry, is appropriate for students primarily interested in the delivery of health services.

In a city as diverse as Buffalo, you can always find something fun to do, whether it’s taking a leisurely walk in one of our glorious Olmsted-designed parks or taking in a thought-provoking work of art at one of dozens of galleries.
Buffalo is known for its snow, but dig a little deeper and you’ll discover that our region enjoys four distinct seasons, each remarkable in its own right.
Pronounced “the best planned city in America” by Frederick Law Olmsted, and often billed as the “20-minute city” for its easy accessibility, Buffalo’s world-class design makes getting around a snap.
