PROGRAM: BIOTECHNICIAN CERTIFICATE AND ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE 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.

Bozniak Location: Science Lab, Room SL402M Telephone Contact: Carrie Minnoch 626-6174 Lab Manager: Dawn Gatherum 626-6175 Professors: Eugene G. Bozniak, Stephen L. Clark, E. LaGrande Hobbs, Cyrus M. McKell; Associate Professor: Suzanne Harley Description Botany is the science of plant study including the morphology, metabolism, diversity, distribution, systematics, and ecological relationships of all plants. Natural systems are plant-dependent so that a knowledge of plants is basic to their understanding. Such knowledge is especially important today as we find ourselves in a world of rapidly-changing values, technologies and man-nature interactions. Botany is an important adjunct to many professional careers in soil science, horticulture, plant biotechnology, agronomy, food technology, marine biology, environmental science, water resource management, weed control technology, and pure and applied research. Botany offers pre-professional training in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and range management. Students must continue their education at another institution in order to obtain baccalaureate degrees in these fields. The catalog of the school to which the student plans to transfer should be consulted as a guide in registering for courses at Weber State.

This modern computerized collection serves as an important reference for students, faculty, biologists, and all others who need to know the identity of plants, or learn something about their geographic distributions and ecological associations. It also serves as the repository of the plants collected for the Institute of Health : _ ,. _, Professions American Indian Botany.
