The growing emphasis on modern science technology has created a
demand for skilled laboratory specialists in the emerging biotechnology
and chemical industries. These areas include genetic engineering,
pharmaceuticals, biological and biomedical research, quality control,
water quality and treatment, pollution abatement, and others. The
college has articulated this program with the Department of Medical
and Research Technology at the University of Maryland at Baltimore
which leads to a B.S. degree. The biotechnology program is suitable
for students planning to seek employment as laboratory technicians in
industrial and research laboratories. Graduates of this program should
be able to carry out laboratory procedures, properly use laboratory
apparatus and perform basic calculations. Students interested in this
curriculum are advised to check the requirements of the institution to
which they intend to transfer.
