Program Learning Outcomes
This Biology program option provides students with the basic course requirements necessary to satisfy the first three years of a baccalaureate degree in Bioscience Technologies (Biotechnology, Cytotechnology, Medical Technology) at a transfer institution. A "C" grade or better in each course is required for transfer. Biotechnology is the field in which biological and engineering principles are used to develop products and techniques for advances in gene therapy, new tests to diagnose and pharmaceuticals to treat a variety of diseases, or new ways of studying the molecular and genetic structure of cells.
In addition to the outcomes stated for the A.S. Biology program, students who have completed this option will be able to:
- Apply biological principles to solve problems in health care and in the design of pharmaceutical products
- Possess the laboratory techniques and skills necessary to contribute to the design, research, development, and pre-clinical testing of diagnostic and therapeutic agents, methods, and systems for health care
- Possess specific technical and problem solving skills required for biomedical settings in the medical, pharmaceutical, and industrial chemical industries
Education Unique to Each Student
My experience at RCSJ has been very community oriented. My participation in the STEM club has been invaluable. I've also made other connections, like at Rowan University and Princeton University, offering one-of-a-kind research opportunities.
