The purpose of the Associate in Science degree program in biotechnology is two-fold. All students will obtain a broad- based science background focusing on courses in the life and chemical sciences. In addition, students will develop specific laboratory skills applicable to procedures commonly performed in research, hospital and industrial laboratories all over the United States. Students successfully completing the program will be able to transfer to a four-year university to further their studies in the sciences at the baccalaureate level or, if they prefer, directly enter the workforce as entry- level research or laboratory assistants. For more information about this program, contact the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Division (STEM), 3-401.
