Division of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics
Our Biotechnology program is internationally renowned and offers exciting, hands-on, and research-based study in this rapidly expanding scientific area. Through participation in national research collaborations, students are trained in the scientific disciplines most in demand by the biotechnology industry, academic and government laboratories, including the latest technologies related to DNA, RNA and Proteins, mammalian and plant cell culture, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), biologics development, gene therapy, and latest gene-editing techniques including CRISPR. These techniques will also provide a strong foundation for students who are willing to pursue their careers in four-year colleges/universities or advanced R & D laboratories. Since our biotechnology program is a research-based and peer mentoring intensive program structured to engage nontraditional students, our curriculum uses inquiry-based laboratories, and internships in world-renowned institutions to confer in-depth scientific knowledge to students.
Upon successful completion, the Associate in Science Degree in Biotechnology is awarded.
