  1. The Biotechnology Program at JCCC Johnson County Community College Overland Park, Kansas

  2. JCCC Biotechnology Program In early 2001 – the Stowers Institute for Medical Research would open their $200 million facility which would have an impact on the way the Kansas City metro thinks about bioscience research. And, they would need lab technicians.

  3. JCCC Biotechnology Program Three degree programs were developed at JCCC • A Certificate – designed primarily for those who already had a degree and were changing careers. • An Associate of Applied Science – designed for those who wanted a vocational degree only and wanted to get into the workforce quickly. • An Associate of Science – designed for those who wanted to get into the workforce, but would eventually go on for a bachelor’s degree.

  4. JCCC Biotechnology Program Biotechnology Certificate Semester I • BIOT 160 Introduction to Biotechnology • BIOT 165 Laboratory Safety • MATH 135 Applied Math for Science or higher • BIOL 135 Principles of Cell and Molecular Biology • CHEM 122 Principles of Chemistry Semester II • BIOT 230 Microbiology for Biotechnology • BIOT 260 Biotechnology Methods • CHEM 140 Principles of Organic and Biological Chemistry • PHYS 133 Applied Physics • BIOT 265 Biotechnology Internship (optional) TOTAL = 34 credits (33-35; 37-39 with internship – varies with math choice)

  7. JCCC Biotechnology Program New courses were developed that would supplement the basic science curriculum. • Introduction to Biotechnology (2001) • Laboratory Safety • Biotechnology Methods • Biotechnology Internship • Applied Physics • Microbiology for Biotechnology (2007) • Applied Mathematics for Science (2009) • Scientific Writing

  8. JCCC Biotechnology Program Affiliations that have been or are being developed with other educational institutions. • The Metropolitan Community Colleges – Penn Valley C.C. • Olathe North High School 21st Century program in biotechnology • Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley School Districts • The University of Kansas – Edwards Campus bachelor’s degree in Molecular Biosciences. • Kansas State University and Manhattan Area Technical College • Kansas City Kansas Community College

  9. JCCC Biotechnology Program Future of the JCCC Biotechnology Program • Recruit more students for every degree level. • Solidify affiliations with other institutions, for both educational and internship opportunities. • Continue to find additional funding opportunities for specialized equipment in the new facility. • Strengthen connections between local industry and develop their biomanufacturing needs, wants and desires.
