Show Thursday, June 28, 2007 OREM TIMES Page 13 Obituaries briefs : I New bachelor degree in biotechnology offered Utah Valley State College's 56th baccalaureate degree is a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biotechnology. Biotechnology is technology technolo-gy designed to work with biological bio-logical systems. This includes research, development, quality qual-ity control and manufacturing in fields such as genetic engineering, engi-neering, medicine, agriculture and forensics. UVSC's program will be laboratory intensive and will give students hands-on experience expe-rience in biotechnology that will better prepare them for future careers. This will make students more marketable to the growing biotechnology industry in Utah. "Typical biology graduates accepting jobs in industry, take up to a year to reach a productive level due of their real lack of hands on experience, experi-ence, regardless of which school they come from," said Mark Bracken, chair of the biology department. "Now, instead of taking a year or two to train, these students can be independently productive produc-tive in just a few weeks to a few months. This makes them more competitive not only in the industry, but with graduate gradu-ate schools as well." PROVO (11 KXWIgfjSgSMStfhfl I Msi TUTORING 8 79 S.
