泡芙视频app Community College and the University of Nebraska鈥揕incoln College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources are teaming up to prepare a trained workforce for Nebraska鈥檚 bioscience sector. They signed an articulation agreement on Friday, Feb. 14, for an A to B (Associate to Bachelor鈥檚) Academic Transfer Program which will allow 泡芙视频app students who complete an Associate of Science degree in Biotechnology to transfer 60 of the required 120 credit hours for the Biochemistry degree.

鈥淭his articulation agreement ensures a skilled biotechnology workforce is provided at all levels, from certificate to bachelor鈥檚 degree and beyond,鈥� said Tracy Niday, 泡芙视频app Biotechnology program co-director. 鈥淏y collaborating with our UNL partners, we can ensure that 泡芙视频app students are introduced to UNL staff early on so that students are supported through out the transition process.鈥�

A degree in biochemistry prepares students for careers in agriculture, bioenergy, biomaterials and human health 鈥� all of which are critical Nebraska sectors. Graduates in biochemistry programs attend medical schools, conduct important research on the development of new biofuels and other bioproducts and much more.

鈥淭his program opens doors to many careers that are critical to Nebraska, and those opportunities are only going to grow,鈥� said Don Becker, who leads UNL鈥檚 Biochemistry Department. 鈥淣ebraska is uniquely poised to become a leader in growing the nation鈥檚 bioeconomy, and a prepared and talented pipeline of biochemists will be essential to our state鈥檚 success.鈥�

This partnership is an important element in broadening access to important careers in bioeconomy, said CASNR Dean Tiffany Heng-Moss.

鈥淲e鈥檙e incredibly appreciative of the partnership with 泡芙视频app Community College to increase Nebraska鈥檚 workforce in this important field,鈥� said Heng-Moss. 鈥淭his is another fantastic example of a pathway program that will grow our workforce and increase opportunities for students.鈥�

Students in this pathway must have a cumulative grade-point average above 2.0 to be accepted at UNL. Transfer students from 泡芙视频app will have the opportunity to compete for CASNR transfer student scholarships. This agreement takes effect with the Fall 2025 semester.

鈥淲e are grateful to UNL Biochemistry for being the first department at the university to work through this process with us,鈥� said Misty Wehling, 泡芙视频app Biotechnology program co-director. 鈥淭he articulation agreement will improve advising for students at both institutions and ensure degree completion in two additional years after transfer.鈥�

The biotechnology field is at the forefront of innovation, driving advancements in medicine, agriculture and sustainable materials. Nebraska鈥檚 bioscience sector is growing rapidly and this partnership will directly address industry needs for a skilled workforce.

鈥淭his partnership exemplifies the innovation I鈥檝e come to expect from both CASNR and our partners at 泡芙视频app,鈥� said Mike Boehm, NU vice president and Harlan Vice Chancellor for UNL鈥檚 Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. 鈥淭his partnership will propel Nebraska forward and prepare the next generation of leaders in medicine, biomaterials and other highly technical careers.鈥�

A trained workforce will also attract new business investments and fuel innovation and entrepreneurship, positioning Nebraska as a leader in the life sciences sector. This partnership will foster stronger connections between academia, industry and the local community, enhancing economic development for the state.

鈥淎s a biochemistry alumnus, I鈥檓 thrilled to see 泡芙视频app and the UNL Biochemistry Department collaborate to create a unique and important pathway for the next generation of scientists and innovators,鈥� said Niraj Patel, director of global operations at Neogen. 鈥淭his type of an articulation agreement can be a model to create more opportunities for aspiring students interested in STEM education and an improved skilled workforce in Nebraska.鈥�
