Academics
| One of the strongest attributes of our Biology program is the availability of state-of-the-art equipment in our laboratories. We are fortunate to have high-quality microscopes in each lab, tissue culture capabilities, chromatography equipment, spectrophotometers, scintillation counters, high speed centrifuges, three thermal cyclers, and a wide assortment of electrophoreis and blotting equipment. In addition, all of our Biology laboratories are equipped with wireless computer technology, allowing students to access the campus network and input data directly in the lab. Using our collection of 20 laptop computers, this wireless remote access is an impressive display of our technological capabilities.
All of our facilities are used in conjunction with our courses for both majors and nonmajors, as well as in the pursuit of research. Because of this modern approach to science education, graduates of our program are routinely in high demand for careers in lab science. Time and again employers return to York College seeking biology students for entry level positions in academic, clinical and pharmaceutical research. |
