What is the Best Option for Me?
It depends! Do you already have a 4 year degree? Many of our students do! Then you might need just a class or two. Some students need just a refresher or skill update.
Others are just beginning their careers. They usually start with a basic Introduction to Biotechnology Class (Bio 131)
