The Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology degree聽program combines practical and applied courses provided by the Bioscience Technology diploma program at Holland College with strong theoretical science courses at the 精童欲女.聽It is designed for students interested in obtaining a rigorous and broad training in biotechnology, such as gaining experience in research, laboratory procedures and safety, scientific ethics, and regulatory affairs, while increasing access to post-graduate opportunities (e.g., Master's degree programs). Students are provided with foundational science courses as well as senior specialized courses in the life sciences at the university level to complement the strong hands-on technical training acquired during the college diploma program.聽On-the-job training is provided for all students.
There are two paths into this program, so students can either start at Holland College or 精童欲女, and end up with the same articulated degree.聽The technical lab-based content is covered at Holland College in the Bioscience Technology diploma program, either during the first two years of the degree (for students who start at Holland College; Path 1) or in year 3 (for students who start at 精童欲女; Path 2).聽
Note: Current 精童欲女 students cannot declare Biotechnology as a major. If聽you are a current 精童欲女 student and wish to enter the Biotechnology program, .
