It is also a science education facility featuring programs of interest to elementary students, secondary students, and the general public. For the general public, a program featuring some topic of current interest in astronomy is given one evening a week. Any teacher wishing instructional materials or wanting to set up an appointment for a class visit should contact the Director of the Planetarium, or the Director of the Center for Science & Mathematics Education, 801-626-6855. PREMEDICAL For information call Julie Baker, Secretary, Department of Zoology, SL402, 801-626-6165. Students pursuing one of the following programs should satisfy the preprofessional requirements while completing a bachelor degree within the College of Science. Students should work closely with both their preprofessional advisor and their academic major advisor. Since course loads are typically heavy, and requirements and application procedures vary among postgraduate programs, students should plan their academic strategies early and with full information. Advisement Students should be familiar with requirements in the Weber State catalog and consult with the preprofessional advisor and an advisor in their major department.

BIOTECHNICIAN ;■ ■■■•'•. ■=* . :• ■■:■.- ?: , , Location: Science Lab Telephone: 801-626-6165 This technology education program is designed to meet the needs of the biotechnology industry for technicians trained in the appropriate biological sciences and chemistry. Heavy emphasis is placed on providing students with opportunities for hands-on laboratory experiences that will enable them to qualify for good jobs in various biotechnology companies. 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 62 credit hours is required - 38 of these are required within the program. An additional 30 credit hours is required for the Institutional Certificate. Advisement Students should meet with the program advisor; call Julie Baker, Department of Zoology secretary (801-626-6165) for information. General Education Refer to pages 36-40 for Associate of Science requirements. These should include either Econ AI2740, Hist All700, or PolSc All 100. The following courses required for the Biotechnician program will satisfy the quantitative core and the life and physical sciences portion of the general education requirements: Math QL1050, Chem PS/SI1210, Phsx PS/SI1010, Micro LS/SI2054 and Botany LS/SI1105 (12 credit hours).
