Bioscience Technology
Campus contacts [opens in new window]
Bioscience technology is a dynamic field that applies life processes to practical uses, such as the manufacturing of drugs and medical devices, and the research and development of new bioscience products and procedures. Careers are varied. Biotechnicians work in research laboratories, manufacturing facilities, analytical and quality control laboratories, and in the field. The PCC Bioscience Technology Program links basic science fundamentals to laboratory and biomanufacturing applications. The emphasis is on authentic, hands-on experience to develop the skills, knowledge and attributes that are key to success in this field. You start by earning the certificate and have the option to continue on to earn an associate's degree. Both the certificate and the associate's degree provide you with a strong foundation for a career and for further education in Bioscience.
Open BIT Courses
BIT 102, 105, and 107 are open to all students. To explore the field of bioscience technology, we encourage students to begin with BIT 102 and recommend some prior experience in biology (such as a BI course at PCC or a recent high school biology course).
Both Biology and Chemistry are required for enrollment in BIT 105 and 107.
