This degree prepares students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities to major in biology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, biotechnology and related fields. It provides a strong background in liberal arts and the comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and robust training required for bachelor’s degree programs in the modern biological sciences. Students interested in fields such as medical, veterinary, agricultural, environmental, and pharmaceutical sciences should consider a biotechnology degree to prepare them for their professional studies. Genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, microbiology are incorporated into the biotechnology degree, and students learn laboratory techniques such as tissue culture, DNA and RNA isolation and evaluation, and instrumental analysis. They can also participate in biomedical and environmental undergraduate research in state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories.

• Program completion will require students to attend some classes on the Jamestown Campus.
