Students choose from one of three biology curricula: traditional
biology major, pre-professional and biotechnology. These
curricula parallel the first two years of a baccalaureate degree
in biology. The Biotechnology curriculum prepares the students
for biotechnology/biosciences programs at four-year institutions
and for a future career in biotechnology. The students in this
program acquire knowledge in general biology, inorganic and
organic chemistry, genetics, microbiology, cell biology and
molecular biology. The students will acquire competence in
laboratory techniques and instrumentation that are relevant to
the biotechnology industry. This degree transfers seamlessly
(without loss of credit) to the Biotechnology B.S. degree at
Rutgers University and to other universities. Biotechnology is a
branch of science in which we use living organisms to make
useful products. Ever since we learned to manipulate DNA, the
field has exploded in importance. We can diagnose and treat
diseases, and create new and better
