Biotechnology Course
(at Duke's Place)
Summer School
Goal: After completionof this class, students will understand and appreciate the opportunities available for a career in Biotechnology. From the Arizona Daily Star's New Econony page "Biotech benefits: From an industry standpoint, biotechnology has much to offer. It's clean and non-polluting. And it pays well, with jobs starting in Tucson at $40,000 to $50,000 a year. "I really believe the defining technology of the coming decade will be in biotechnology," says Eugene Sander, dean of the University of Arizona College of Agriculture. "That's going to be as important as the silicon chip was over the last three decades." http://www.azstarnet.com/neweconomy/biotech1.html
