Biotechnology or ISAT Majors?

<p>Does anyone have any experience with the Biotechnology or ISAT programs at JMU? How are the classes, professors, and job opportunities?</p>

<p>Bump.com - Also what are the enrollment numbers for each major?</p>

<p>Hey, I applied for the Biotech major at JMU. I thought I was like the only person on the face of the planet that did, so im glad to hear from somebody else that has an interest in the field. RD should come out soon; I’m freakin out. Anyway, I went to one of the open houses that they offered and I had the opportunity to talk to one of the professors of biotechnology. He told me that the program is almost identical to the bio major until your upperclassmen years when you start to concentrate in one of the areas of biotechnology. So, if you dug up some dirt on the bio major’s rep, i’m sure it would apply to the biotech major as well. From what i’ve heard, the jmu bio major is as good as it gets, especially with that new biosciences building; it was awesome.</p>

<p>It’s been a while but wanted to revisit this topic. Would like to hear from any students who are in / have been through the ISAT major. What is it like? Is it too general?</p>
