Are you interested in biomanufacturing?

Do you want to be on the forefront of scientific breakthroughs?
Are you looking for a degree that will lead you to a myriad of jobs?
You're Looking for Biomanufacturing!
With a Bachelor’s degree in Biomanufacturing, you will be on the cutting edge of new scientific breakthroughs, and will have a multitude of occupational choices awaiting you. Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomanufacturing work in a variety of industries including but not limited to the pharmaceutical and medical industries, agricultural, chemical, manufacturing, mechanical, and engineering industries. Your opportunities are vast, from water treatment plants to breweries, and from biofuel development to food and beverage science. Biomanufacturing is everywhere.
Biotechnicians who perform test and collect samples, quality control analysts who track manufacturing to ensure processes are correct, epidemiologists who research human diseases and injuries, and scientists who improve products through clinical trials – these positions are in high demand and have plenty of career advancement opportunities. Depending on your area of interest, salaries range from $40,000 – $97,000 yearly, and average $74,000 per year. Biomanufacturing jobs are expected to grow a continued 20% on average in the next five years.
Another benefit of Solano Community College’s Baccalaureate program is its cost. The total cost for tuition to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomanufacturing is a fraction of what it costs to obtain a degree from the California State University or University of California system.
The Biomanufacturing program has plans to expand their curriculum to include the industrial production of biofuels, biomaterials, stem cells, and other products currently manufactured using chemical rather than biological techniques.
“In biotech, manufacturing experience through our classes, mechanical aptitude, and a strong work ethic will take you much farther than advanced calculus would.”
– Jim DeKloe, SCC Biomanufacturing Faculty Member
