根据加拿大统计局的统计，生物技术是全球发展最快的行业之一，加拿大在生物技术领域拥有强大且不断发展的雇主基础，因此需要对训练有素的实验室人员进行需求。我们的计划采用当代分子生物学，微生物学，免疫学，化学，生物化学，发酵和蛋白质技术，应用遗传学，细胞培养，环境和分析仪器实验室，提供生物技术各个方面的实践培训，重点是动手应用技能确保我们的学生为立即融入工作队伍做好准备。我们计划的最后15周学期致力于通过将我们的学生作为入门级生物技术专家放置在研究或工业工作场所中，从而提供真实的学习机会。
The Biotechnology Advanced program at St. Lawrence College is a predominantly hands-on, laboratory, and practical based course. As a student you will perform genetic assays, investigate contaminated soil and water, determine food-borne illnesses, clone for proteins, ferment antibiotics, and create plant hybrids.According to Statistics Canada, Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing global industries with Canada providing a strong and growing employer base in the biotech sector necessitating the demand for well-trained laboratory personnel. Our program employs contemporary molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, chemistry, biochemistry, fermentation and protein technology, applied genetics, cell culture, environmental and analytical instrumentation labs that offer practical training in all aspects of biotechnology with a focus on the hands-on applied skills that ensure our students are ready for immediate integration into the work force. The final 14-week semester of our program is dedicated to providing a real-world learning opportunity by placing our students in a research or industrial work site as an entry-level Biotechnologist.Biotechnology may be the best career for you if you are interested in:A career that allows you to work in science from a hands-on perspectiveWorking to solve a broad variety of agricultural, medical, and environmental issuesAn education that prepares you for a broad spectrum of science-related jobsAn advanced diploma that is part of an international growth industry and that provides you with direct pathways to earn a university degree
