<p>Biotech is an applied field, though not necessarily an engineering field. It’s broader than just molecular biology.<a href=“https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Biotechnology[/url]”>https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Biotechnology</a>
Biomedicine just sounds like it focuses the basic biology underlying medical fields; it’s not an engineering field.</p>
<p>Your question isn’t very clear. Is the BS in biotechnology an option under a MCD biology major, or is an entirely separate program? As far as I know, there is not an accreditation process similar to that in engineering specialties.</p>
<p>After a bachelor’s in MCD biology, you can apply for a number of different graduate programs in various basic and applied bioscience fields. It also might prepare one to apply to various health professions programs, e.g., medical school, medical technology programs (lab medicine), grad programs in nursing, etc. Some bachelor’s level graduates find jobs as lab technicians, but these are not high level jobs and generally do not pay well. Jobs teaching high school biology are another option.</p>
<p>If you primarily are interested in an engineering field involving biosciences, then the options are biomedical engineering( <a href=“Biomedical engineering - Wikipedia);%5B/url%5D”>Biomedical engineering - Wikipedia);</a> agricultural & biological engineering (<a href=“Biological engineering - Wikipedia);%5B/url%5D”>Biological engineering - Wikipedia);</a> or, some aspects of chemical engineering ([Evolution</a> in Chemical and Biological Engineering Education](<a href=“http://www.aiche.org/sbe/education/chemicalbiologicaleducation.aspx]Evolution”>http://www.aiche.org/sbe/education/chemicalbiologicaleducation.aspx)). Just to expand your awareness of other options, you might also consider whether programs in applied microbiology or food science interest you.
If the state college that you have in mind is a land grant university, take a look at the program options in its college of agriculture.</p>
