Biotechnology
The student majoring in Biotechnology is generally preparing for employment in the biotechnology industry or for transfer to a four-year institution to complete the requirements for a bachelor's degree. For the Associate in Science Degree in Biotechnology, a student must meet the basic graduation requirements and complete 30 units from the courses listed below. It is intended that the student complete both courses in the CHEM-02AB sequence, or both courses in the CHEM-04AB sequence, with the first course in the sequence satisfying the physical science breadth requirements. BIOL-04 or BIOL-04H (for students transferring to a university) or BIOL-01 should be taken to satisfy the life science breadth requirement.
