Students would complete the three-year training program by completing a course of study leading to an Associate of Science degree in the first two years, and a laboratory-intensive course of study in the third year that would qualify them for a Biotechnician Certificate. » Grade Requirements: Cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher. » Credit Hour Requirements: Total of 93 credit hours is required— 67 of these are required within the program. An additional 46 credit hours is required for the Institutional Certificate. A total of 13 upper division credit hours (courses numbered 300 and above) is required for the A.S. degree. All 46 additional credit hours required for the Institutional Certificate are upper division. Advisement Students should meet with the program advisor, Dr. Amelia Ahern-Rindell (626-6173). Core and General Education Refer to page 32 of this catalog for Associate of Science requirements. These should include either Econ SS274, Hist SSI70, or PolSci SSI 10 and either CS PD101, CS PD102 or TBE PD170. The following courses required for the Biotechnician program also will satisfy General Education requirements: Chem PS121, Phsx PS101, and any two of the following three: Micro LS205, Zool LS160, and/ or Botany LSI 10. Students should complete the A.S. program in two years and take the laboratory intensive courses for the Institutional Certificate in their third year. Course Requirements for A.S.
