Overview
The Biopharmaceutical Technology curriculum is designed to prepare individuals for employment in pharmaceutical manufacturing and related industries. Major emphasis is placed on manufacturing processes and quality assurance procedures.
Education
Coursework includes general education, computer applications, biology, chemistry, industrial safety, and an extensive array of very detailed, pharmaceutically-specific classes.
The goal of the Applied Biotechnology certificate program is to show the student how
biotechnology is applied to solving problems and how it has been used to develop test methods, treat wastes, formulate pharmaceuticals, or develop alternatives to current harmful chemical uses. Students will also be exposed to how the regulatory authorities evaluate new processes and products developed by biotechnology.
Available Options:
A.A.S. Degree [3] Certificate: Applied Biotechnology [4] Certificate: Pharmaceutical Basics [5] Certificate: Biopharmaceutical Regulations [6] Certificate: Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing and Quality [7]
Certificate: Advanced Biopharmaceutical Practices [5]
Programs of Study:
