Laboratory Technology

The Laboratory Technology curriculum prepares individuals for entry-level positions in a wide range of industries that perform laboratory testing of chemical, biological, and physical agents. Instruction is focused on the practical, hands-on skills required by industrial research laboratories and production facilities.

Students will receive instruction in basic laboratory procedures such as preparation of reagents and culture media, instrumentation, preparation and execution of protocols, quality assurance, safety, recording and reporting of experimental data, sterility, microbiology, chromatography, and electrophoresis.

Graduates should qualify for employment opportunities in research, food processing, environmental monitoring, chemical production, and textile, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries.
