Associate of Science Degree
Transfer Program
The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing program is designed for students who desire careers in the research and produc-tion of pharmaceutical and medicine products. These products are used to treat disease and for the betterment of life. The production of these products requires a funda-mental understanding of biology, chemistry, and manufac-turing processes.
Upon completion of this program students shall have demonstrated the ability to:
• Be familiar with the language of biotechnology pro-duction.
• Be able to articulate, read and follow a standard oper-ating procedure.
• Be able to understand and apply the regulatory re-quirements of current good manufacturing practices.
• Understand the basic biology and chemistry behind the manufacturing processes.
• Demonstrate the ability to perform laboratory skills and work in team settings.
Completion of the following courses results in an associate of science degree with an area of emphasis in pharmaceuti-cal manufacturing. It will ready the students for entry- to mid-level positions in a biotechnology environment. The required coursework also supports baccalaureate degree requirements in biology, chemistry, and other scientific disciplines. When advanced degrees are desired, course selection should be tailored to match requirements defined by intended transfer institution.
