Biotechnology
Associate in Applied Science Degree
(A20100)
The Biotechnology curriculum, which has emerged from molecular biology and chemical
engineering, is designed to meet the increasing demands for skilled laboratory technicians in
various fields of biological and chemical technology.
Course work emphasizes biology, chemistry, mathematics and technical communications.
The curriculum objectives are designed to prepare graduates to serve in three distinct capacities:
research assistant to a biologist or chemist; laboratory technician/instrumentation technician,
and quality control/quality assurance technician. |
