I was interested in leaving the bench, and I thought technology transfer would be a logical transition as it would allow me to take technology from the bench to the bedside. During the program, I enjoyed the coursework, professors and the classmates. 

When I found out about the agreement between UMUC and FAES through which FAES credits could be transferred to UMUC, I decided to pursue my Master’s degree in biotechnology at UMUC. I will graduate in May 2015. The classes from the Advanced Studies in Technology Transfer prepared me for the coursework I encountered at UMUC.
