10 courses with the subject BTC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
One hour of lecture or discussion per week. Occasional tour of laboratories or field trips. Introduction to campus facilities, personnel, lower-division curriculum, and upper-division study options to facilitate transition of students into the program and assist them in making informed decisions on course selection and future career directions. Fall.
One hour of seminar/discussion each week focused on academic and career development in biotechnology. Identifying and finding a research and internship experience, collaboration and networking, evaluating scientific studies, technical writing skills, science communication, laboratory safety and compliance, and professional ethics and responsibilities. (One 60- minute lecture/discussion per week; 1 credit hours). Pre/co-requisites: Biotechnology major or permission of instructor.
Full- or part-time engagement as volunteer or employee on research project having a biotechnology focus consistent with the student's educational and professional goals. Tenure at SUNY-ESF or outside institution. Faculty member in the BTC program will serve as student's sponsor. Study plan outlining the apprenticeship's educational goals completed prior to its commencement. Students shall report their activities to their instructor on a weekly basis for the duration of the course. Grading satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory. Fall, Spring, Summer. Prerequisite(s): Permission of Instructor.
Two hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Theories behind techniques in molecular biology are introduced in lecture. Laboratory includes the extraction and quantification of genomic and plasmid DNA, agarose gel electrophoresis, restriction digestion, ligation, bacterial transformation, DNA sequencing and PCR.

A study plan outlining the internship's educational goals must be completed prior to its commencement. Grading will be based on a written report from the student and submitted to the sponsoring SUNY ESF | 312 | Course Catalog
Two hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. The use of transgenic plants to improve the human condition and remediate environmental problems is a rapidly growing field of study. Students are taught the principles of gene structure and regulation, gene cloning, transformation of plant species, and current applications. Format includes lectures, discussions, student presentations, and a laboratory project. Spring. Note: Credit will not be granted for both BTC 425 and EFB 625.
Two hours of lecture and discussion and three hours of laboratory per week. Introduction to plant tissue culture for biotechnology research and as a propagation method. Emphasis will be on learning laboratory instrumentation and techniques for establishing cell cultures, producing transgenic cell lines, and regenerating whole plants. Fall. Prerequisites: One course in botany, microbiology, or genetics; or permission of instructor. Note: Credit will not be granted for BTC 426 and FOR 626/EFB 626.
Experimental, interdisciplinary, or special topic coursework in biotechnology for undergraduate students. Subject matter and method of presentation varies from semester to semester. May be repeated for additional credit if topic changes. Fall or Spring.
Laboratory research experience with research time agreed upon by student and instructor. Independent research experience covering biotechnological topics. Specific topics determined through consultation between student and appropriate faculty member. Tutorial conferences, discussions, and critiques scheduled as necessary. Grading determined by the instructor and could include, but not required, evaluation of skills learned, data obtained, and laboratory notebook record keeping. A final written report is required. Students shall report their activities to their instructor on a weekly basis for the duration of the course. Fall or Spring. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
One hour of discussion or seminar each week. Students will learn to synthesize results gained from their own independent research and present those data in a scientific poster at a research symposium. Topics of professional preparation will also be discussed. Spring. CME - CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING
