Hi guys,
I'm planning to pursue Masters of Science in Biotechnology in the US. My question is what are some of the tier 2 biotechnology graduate programs available in the US? I've been coming up with a list of Biotech programs and wanted to make sure I included some Tier 2 programs. So far google's been really persistent to show me only Top/ tier 1 programs like UPenn, UCSF, etc... Help a brother out here Thanks!

I want to go into biotechnology industry laboratory management/ product development/ manufacturing and quality control. The reason why I'm doing a Masters instead of an MBA, is that I'm still in a dilemma between choosing a career in academia (if so I would continue to do pHD) or industry.
