Program Description

If you love science, have an inquisitive mind and a desire to solve biological problems, our Biotechnology program is perfect for you! We are the only college in Nebraska offering this unique Biotechnology program which gives you the skills to put you ahead of your peers in the industry.

We will teach you the basics in biotechnology, help you complete your credential, and prepare you for an advanced career in academic, government and industry laboratories or an advanced degree at a four-year college in one of the STEM fields.

Our Biotechnology program includes rigorous science classes and labs. For example, students in 泡芙视频app鈥檚 Molecular Techniques class engage in the same semester-long lab that upperclassmen at local four-year institutions are doing.
