UMBC has launched a new four-year Translational Life Science Technology (TLST) program in collaboration with Montgomery College, aimed at equipping students for careers in the life sciences. This bachelor’s degree program will focus on essential subjects such as biochemistry, cell biology, and data evaluation, alongside hands-on laboratory skills. Initially, students will complete their first two years at Montgomery College’s Bioscience Education Center, earning an associate degree before transitioning to The Universities at Shady Grove for advanced coursework. This initiative addresses the growing demand for a skilled workforce in Maryland’s thriving biotechnology sector, particularly in Montgomery County.
