BIOTECHNOLOGY COURSES
Each of the new BIOTECH 2 modular courses are 1 unit classes with four hours of lecture and 12 hours of laboratory each week for two weeks.
Modular courses are scheduled sequentially in a semester and students are expected to complete all eight modules in one semester. Note that each of the BIOTECH 2 modules has a prerequisite of the preceding module, except for BIOTECH 2A, with a prerequisite of BIOTECH 1.
Recommended courses: PH 1/1L Descriptive Physics/Laboratory - 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory.
Total required units in the major: 48 (or 50 if CHEM 1A & 1B replace CHEM 12 & 13)
Students completing major courses would receive a Certificate of Achievement in Biotechnology.
Students completing major courses plus general education
courses would receive an Associate in Science Degree in Biotechnology.
