Biological Commercialization Program Description
The proposed new Biohealth program and concentration in Biological Commercialization complements Loyola University Maryland’s existing interdisciplinary biology programs and aligns with Loyola’s Jesuit tradition and its mission to “inspire <br>students to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world” and goals to “prepare students … for lives of meaningful professional service and leadership.” The Biological Commercialization concentration, one of three areas of concentration within the Biohealth program, was designed to support students interested in pursuing direct entry into the workforce or into research-based graduate programs. Students graduating from this program will be poised to be leaders and trailblazers in biological innovations, scientific communication, and data analysis.
