This one-year course is a cutting-edge opportunity for students preparing for science related careers in research, biology, animal science, forensics, genetics and other biotechnology fields. The course explores the complexities of scientific research and enables students to apply various facets of biotechnology in fields of science. Throughout the class, students are encouraged to critically think and are challenged to use equipment and techniques common in research lab facilities. 

​This program includes one credit of Advanced Placement (AP) Biology which gives students an opportunity to earn college credit through the AP Exam.

This program is offered as Honors credit with the expectation that students complete four projects throughout the year that extend beyond the standard curriculum. These projects are built into the program and are a great opportunity for students to expand their knowledge of the topics covered in class.
