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.

GENERAL EDUCATION CORE Credits (General education core credits in excess of 36 will transfer as general electives or courses related to the major. Each student’s total of general education and required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.)
