Session Cycle: Spring Yearly Cycle: Annual Biotechnology is the commercial application of living organisms involving the deliberate manipulation of their DNA. As such, biotechnology broadly impacts commercial markets in human and animal health care, agriculture and horticulture, and the forensic sciences. Students will learn, through lectures and "hands on" laboratory experiences, about the biotechnology products and "new life forms" which have been or are about to be commercialized. Although this course involves significant "hands on" experiences, it does not fulfill the laboratory requirement.
