Biotechnology trains students to work as research assistants ortechnicians, within a variety of industry and researchbased settings.

Lab equipment use, calibration, and troubleshooting Bioprocessingupstream and downstreamprocessing Cell Culturebacterial, mammalian, and stem celllines Gene cloning, genetic engineering, and DNAsequencing Immunological assays, antibody production, andscreening methods

Students gain hands-on experience in a state-of-the artfacility including a cell culture lab, bioprocessing lab,and DNA lab. Each student gains extensive laboratoryskills (over 700 hours of accumulated lab time forA.A.S.) necessary to enter the workforce directly, orto continue their education elsewhere. This positionsgraduates favorably for entry level jobs with theessential skills to be successful in industry or researchsettings.
