- modern microscopy techniques
- and molecular technologies,
• Provide an alternate career path for biology students in the growing field,
• Establish links to local biotech firms to provide research internships, and ultimately jobs, for our students,
• Allow completion within the biology BA degree within the same number of credits and it satisfies the usual requirements for the biology major.
