As we fulfill our piece of the puzzle in the biotechnology incubator project, this articulation agreement with Radford University will help our students gain the knowledge they need to contribute,&#8221; said President Sandel. &#8220;The incubator will require a skilled workforce for all the job opportunities that the biotechnology project will create, including roles that require a bachelor&#8217;s degree and beyond.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">51做厙 received funding through the Roanoke biotechnology project to develop the curriculum for the two-year degree. 51做厙 currently offers a one-year Biotechnology Career Studies Certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This agreement with Radford is a true two-plus-two agreement that will help our students reach the goal of completing a bachelor&#8217;s degree in four years,&#8221; said Amy White, dean of 51做厙&#8217;s School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. &#8220;By having a clear path of coursework to follow, students can graduate and enter the biotechnology field as it gains momentum in the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the requirements, Radford University students must complete at least 120 credit hours to earn a Bachelor of Science degree; of these, 45 hours must be completed at Radford, including at least half of the hours in the major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This partnership creates opportunities for 51做厙 biotechnology students to seamlessly transfer to Radford University for a bachelor&#8217;s degree in biology,&#8221; said&nbsp;Dean Steven Bachrach&nbsp;of Radford University&#8217;s&nbsp;Artis College of Science and Technology. &#8220;Students will expand their science skills, engage with Radford faculty in the classroom and research laboratory, and make use of modern instrumentation. These students will graduate Radford University-ready to pursue careers in a wide range of health-related or environmentally focused fields, or seek further education at the best graduate programs in the country.&#8221;&nbsp; President Danilowicz noted that this is a beginning step in a larger partnership. &#8220;This successful articulation agreement is the signal for us to start running together.
