I’m not sure exactly what “biotechnology” is. Is it along the lines of biomedical engineering?
If so, UNC offers a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering via a “shared” program with NC State. I’m not sure of the details but you could look into it. A neighbor of ours is graduating this year with a biomedical engineering degree from UNC. If “biotechnology” is more geared at the technology for the environment, UNC’s Institute for the Environment offers bachelor’s degrees in environmental science with a master’s in environmental engineering, I believe.

These are only arguments if you have your heart set on UNC and want to see how that can align with your major. NC State has lots going for it. We have been impressed by how smoothly the university is run. Also, as an engineer in the community, I know that NC State has an awesome internship program which allows students to hook up with jobs long before they graduate.
