Tuition & Fees

The Master of Biotechnology degree is awarded by the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Tuition rates and fees for the program are administered by the School of Engineering and are subject to change. The Biotechnology Program is considered a "professional" degree and does not offer a thesis option or a PhD track, therefore the student is responsible for payment of all tuition. The School of Engineering does not offer scholarships or alternative means of tuition to students in the Biotechnology Program. For more information on Federal and commercial student loans, please visit Penn Student Financial Services. Full time employees of the University of Pennsylvania and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania should contact their business office for information about the Tuition Benefit Program.

The Master of Biotechnology Program requires that students complete eleven approved credit units before being awarded the degree. Generally, each individual course is counted as one credit unit, although some courses may only count for half a credit unit. Students are charged on a semester basis by the University of Pennsylvania and will be billed for each registered credit unit. See the Graduate Student Handbook for more information.
