Biotechnique Courses

These technique-focused courses are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the technique, how it works, and how it is used in industry and research. They provide hands-on lab bench proficiency using the basic and simplest forms of the technique. Upon completion of the course, students will be familiar and comfortable with the technique as it works in the lab. Classes also offer in-lab demonstrations of instrumentation and applications of current use in research and industrial settings. Register early and tell a friend, OR come to the first class session to enroll. Check the online schedule for the most current information at: http://www.foothill.edu/schedule/schedule.php

*Note: Biotechnique courses are numbered BTEC 64 and above


Advisory
Basic biology, chemistry, laboratory experience, and algebra are recommended. Courses are intended for people with varying levels of expertise. Whether you want to refine a technique, learn a new one, or just get some practice, these courses can help prepare you to use specific lab techniques in the work place.
