An open house and information session about the unique program will be held on Thursday, October 21, 2004 from 6 to 8 p.m. at URI’s Providence Campus on 80 Washington St.
The new Bachelor of Science Biotechnology Manufacturing Program features academic preparation for the growing biotech industry in a format that prepares students for employment after completing a one-year full-time program. After the first year, students may then choose to complete the program on a reduced-time basis. A new state-of-the-art biotechnology manufacturing lab at the Providence Campus is used for hands-on training.
Current students and program graduates include adult learners and those interested in career changes. Scholarships are available.
For more information about the program or to make a reservation, call Dr. Dorothy Swift at 277-5029, dswift@mail.uri.edu or visit the college’s website at www.uri.edu/cels/cmb/manuftrack. Walk-ins are also welcome.
