Biotechnology and Biomedical Technology (043000)
01/15/25
The Bachelor of Science in Biomanufacturing will develop the skills, abilities, and knowledge students need to work in the unique environment of biological manufacturing. The program is designed to meet a critical demand in the biotechnology industry for employees who have received baccalaureate-level preparation for technical and quality-related positions. It emphasizes the applied, quantitative analysis of biomanufacturing process design and performance to prepare students for employment in technical or quality positions in the manufacturing sector of the biotechnology industry, which includes biotherapeutics, diagnostics, supplies and services, and industrial products. Students will also benefit from LA Pierce College’s longstanding expertise in the agricultural industry with unique specialization opportunities in plant engineering, algae biotechnology, synthetic biology, and mammalian cell culture.
We anticipate 20 students to earn the Biomanufacturing B.S. degree annually and 100 lower Biotech certificates and A.S. degrees granted annually.
