I began the Certificate in Biotechnology program my junior year here at Roger Williams University, initially because I thought the certificate would be useful. It was a brand new program and our class was the first group of students to start the mandatory 38-credit program. Sixteen out of the required thirty-eight credits were also required for Biology majors in general, due to classes such as BIO 102: Biology I, BIO 200: Genetics, CHEM 191: Chemistry I, and CHEM 192: Chemistry II so it was a perfect fit into my schedule to finish the remaining classes.
