Description
With its foundation of course work in chemistry, biology, and instrumental analysis, the laboratory science technology program was developed primarily from an industry perspective to prepare students for employment as laboratory technicians. The program has several significant factors that set it apart, including the application of real-world analyses and a state-of-the-art instrumentation laboratory. This Associate+Bachelor's Degree Program prepares you to complete an RIT bachelor’s degree. In you choose this option upon successful completion of the AAS in laboratory science technology, provided you maintain a 3.0 or higher grade point average, you will have several bachelor’s degree options from which to choose. You can enroll in RIT’s School of Individualized Study, where you can pursue a bachelor’s degree in the indovidualized program, or you may enroll in RIT’s College of Science, where you can work towards a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, biology, biotechnology and molecular bioscience, chemistry, or environmental science.
