The Biotech program offered at Durham College has provided me with skills that are unique from any other Science program; it encompasses aspects from other programs including Food and Pharmaceutics, Environmental and Chemical Engineering programs. The Biotechnology Program provided me with rewarding experiences that I never anticipated, including manipulating DNA, tissue culturing and isolating and culturing bacteria. Having the opportunity to work in a lab has provided me with the essential laboratory skills that have allowed me to seek job opportunities that would not otherwise be available. 

I would recommend this program to anyone who has a vast interest in Science, wants to have an opportunity to make a difference in society and are looking to obtain real-world experience that will be beneficial to not only themselves, but also to any company they work for.
