Biotechnology is a rapidly growing industry and Massachusetts has the second largest number of biotech companies in the nation. The Biotechnology Program at RCC prepares students for various career paths in research, human health, food, environment, forensics, instrumentation, and industrial goods. The program also provides graduates with educational opportunities in current and emerging technologies in the biotechnology industry, hands-on lab experience and internship opportunities with renowned employers. Graduates have the options of obtaining a job or transferring to a four-year institution for future education. Recent graduates have found their jobs in companies and research institutes in the area or transferred to BS programs at public or private universities, including UMASS Boston, Boston University and Northeastern University.

RCC’s Biotechnology program is designed for students who want to enter the workforce. Students may be able to transfer their biotechnology degree from RCC but will need to potentially take additional classes in their major and in their general elective requirements upon entering their college/university for their bachelor's degree.
RCC also has a specific transfer agreement with Northeastern University that allows for seamless transfer upon completion of your biotechnology degree at RCC:
