The Associate Degree in
Science Laboratory Technology seeks to employ a student
centered classroom approach to inculcate the appropriate
knowledge and practices underpinning the relevant
laboratory methods and experimental skills. This will
produce graduates who, upon graduation have the
requisite skills and competencies to contribute
immediately to the workplace as laboratory technicians.
Graduates will demonstrate a mastery of standard
scientific procedures and experimental dexterity, which
will allow them to operate chemical and biotechnological
laboratory instrumentation, report and analyze
scientific data.
