I am Linda Rhefus and I'm co-coordinator and Assistant Professor Biotechnology
and Biology.
I'm Steve Goss an Associate professor at Bucks
County Community College in Biology and Biotechnology.
My name is Chelsea I am a biotechnology major.
Biotechnologies subfield if you will the pharmaceutical industry
that deals with products that are made from naturally occurring sources.
We have two programs here at Bucks one
is a certificate program the other programs is a two year degree program.
If you're right out of high school and have no background in science whatsoever
the associate degree may be better for you. Or
many students elect on to
get their Bachelors Degrees at other institutions.
You're going to learn how to separate and identify
the major molecules studied in biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
In the biotechnology program here I have learned DNA replication
and cloning, and we got to work with
stem cells, and million cells. Most of the time
in the classroom is actually in the laboratory and you are
getting practical experience in life sciences, in which you would learn
is how to use a variety of basic laboratory instruments such as
pipetters glass where spectrophotometers
and various kinda what we call basic laboratory
instrumentation. the classes are relatively small that means that the fastest to
help you more one-on-one.
our program is a very hands for
most time that spend on campus
p in laboratories doing experiments and learning
techniques. you perform a series of lab experiments every week
and even from semester to semester your science experiments are related
the by the end of the two years you don't know who little project from start
to finish.
the professors here folks genuinely want you to 16 so they're always here offering
help. in the sports or all the
different steps that are involved in producing fine
still the best opportunities
were entry-level Gucci we have is an associate degree of reason perhaps if
you're returning to take his certificate
are in the bio manufacturing sector. student
graduating with to your degree will
be able to gain employment as an entry-level
Biotechnician.
