About the course

The AS degree in Biotechnology provides a strong foundation for transfer to a college (two- or four- year) to complete a BS in Biotechnology. It also prepares students with the foundation in microbiology, molecular and cell biology laboratory skills and soft skills that meet industry standards for employment in biotech industry (e.g. life science technician and biological science technician) and in academic research institutions. Students may petition to use IGETC for STEM majors in place of our local GE requirements. To gain authentic, hands-on research experience, students are recommended to take the BIOL 298 path and conduct the internship (BIOL 50) at a four-year college prior to transfer. Students must complete all required core courses for a total of 25-30 units.
