The Biomanufacturing program is designed to prepare individuals to become biomanufacturing technologists in manufacturing facilities where aseptic techniques and biosafety concerns are needed (e.g., animal health, medical, or food packaging). The curriculum incudes both theory and practical application by training in biomanufacturing and science laboratories. Upon completion of the program, students are eligible to take the MT1 certification exam, which has been adopted by the KC Animal Health Corridor.
