Bachelor of Applied Science in Biotechnology

Program Overview

Biotechnology is the use of biological systems to solve scientific challenges and positively impact our society. Biotech scientists foster creativity and innovation in a variety of fields, using a toolbox of science and technology expertise to put biological molecules such as DNA or proteins to work in useful and groundbreaking ways. This program can also put you on a pre-health or pre-med path.

A biotech scientist’s duties might include:

  • Creating vaccines to combat debilitating diseases
  • Discover novel antibiotics from biological sources
  • Developing assays to diagnose complex clinical diseases
  • Developing drought and pesticide resistant crops to aid in food production
  • Using forensic science to analyze samples to help solve criminal investigation
  • Helping reduce industrial waste by creating cleaner manufacturing processes
