"The MMB program is a non-thesis, two-year cross-disciplinary Professional Science Master degree program. The curriculum includes courses offered by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), the Biotechnology Program (BIT), the Biomanufacturing Program (BEC), and the College of Management."

My personal curriculum loosely follows the Clinical Development track, which includes courses such as Microbial Metabolic Regulation, Expression Systems in Biomanufacturing I and II, Global Regulatory Affairs, and Legal and Marketing Dynamics in Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology.
