Overview
Biotechnology is a field that has enormous implications for the future of the 21st century and has impacted our lives by revolutionizing how we diagnose and treat disease, lengthen life spans, feed the planet, 修复环境.
Our nationally recognized Biotechnology program prepares students with the skills and knowledge needed to enter the biotechnology industry or continue their education. Certificates are for students who want to enter the Biotechnology industry without committing to the associate degree.
Why Great Bay?
Students will work in state-of-the-art biotechnology labs which house over a quarter of a million dollars worth of equipment at 冰球突破豪华版试玩. The low student-to-professor and student-to-equipment ratios allows students to truly master the skills for success.
Career Options
应届毕业生可以在各种生物技术公司找到工作, 担任实验室技术员, Manufacturing Associates, 质量控制和质量保证技术员, 并作为验证顾问.

“I absolutely loved your biotech program and thus far it seems to be applying extremely well. 进入循环赛式的面试有点吓人, but after a few minutes, I found that the knowledge I have taken from GBCC replaced the intimidation with confidence. 似乎每个人都至少知道有人去了, 要去或计划去GBCC.”
“我对你们在GBCC期间给予我的帮助感激不尽. 您一直是我的导师,激励我实现自己的目标. You have greatly contributed to making my dreams of becoming a biotechnologist come true and you will always be my favorite teacher! 我得到了QC分析师的工作!”
“我非常感激您作为我的老师、朋友和顾问. 你所做的已经超出了你的工作要求. 你让我觉得我可以做任何我想做的事. 我真的很高兴有你做我的教授.”
“我要感谢你挑战我. 由于你的帮助,我已经在研究领域找到了一份工作. I have been so lucky during my time in the program at GBCC and couldn’t have succeeded without the instructors. You have been amazing in that you have passion for what you teach which made me even more excited for my future. 我将永远感激您的指导和仁慈.”
“我想让你知道我的实习进行得很顺利!! I love manufacturing. My team is really good and everybody loves me there because I understood their process so well and whenever they ask me something I knew the answer right away. 你的课程很有帮助. 他们在这里做同样的事情,但规模更大. 我对你给我这个实习机会感激不尽! 你是一个很棒的教授,也是一个很好的人! 非常感谢你的帮助.”
“我想对你的帮助说声谢谢. 我对这个项目非常满意. 你投入了大量的工作,它不会被忽视.”
“The biotechnology program prepared me immensely for my current job by teaching me to be an independent researcher, 保存适当的文件, and gain experience and expertise in the molecular biology skills needed for the job including: media preparation, 微生物学和无菌技术, PCR, 琼脂糖凝胶电泳, 还有很多其他的实验.”
“All of the lab courses and the practice throughout the Biotechnology Certificate Program gave me invaluable insight concerning the processes and daily activity in a cGMP environment.”
