","PROGRAM_TEACHOUT":"","PROGRAM_WAGE_ANALYSIS":"The following is from US Dept of Labor's Bureau of Labor and Statistics:\n\nEmployment of biological technicians is projected to grow 10 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Greater demand for biotechnology research is expected to increase the need for these workers. \nBiotechnology research plays a key role in scientific advancements that improve our quality of life. Biological technicians will be needed to help scientists develop new treatments for diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.\n\nIn agriculture, biotechnology research will be used to create genetically engineered crops that provide greater yields and require less pesticide and fertilizer. Efforts to discover new and improved ways to clean and preserve the environment will also continue to add to job growth. In addition, biological technicians will be needed to help develop alternative sources of energy, such as biofuels and better sources of renewable biomass.\n\nThe median annual wage for biological technicians was $39,750 in May 2012. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $25,280, and the top 10 percent earned more than $64,880.\n\nIn May 2012, median annual wages for biological technicians in the top six industries employing these technicians were as follows:\nChemical manufacturing\t$45,380\nResearch and development in the physical, engineering,\nand life sciences\t42,330\nColleges, universities, and professional schools; state,\nlocal, and private\t40,450\nHospitals; state, local, and private\t38,450\nTesting laboratories\t36,260\nFederal government, excluding postal service\t33,630","PROPOSAL_TYPE":"Program Administrative Modification","RELATED_WEBSITES":null,"SOC_CODE":"19-4020 Biological Technicians\n19-4021 Biological Technicians\n49-9062 Biomedical Equipment Technicians","SOC_WEB_LINK":"http://www.bls.gov/ooh/life-physical-and-social-science/biological-technicians.htm\n\nhttp://www.bls.gov/opub/ooq/2002/fall/art03.pdf","SPC_APPLICATION":"Yes","SPC_CREDITS":"61.00","STATE_CREDITS":"61.00","STATUS":"Active","STUDENTS_ADMITTED":"Fall, Spring, Summer","SUBMISSION_REASON":"Program Review","TRANSCRIPT_DESCRIPTION":"Biotechnology AS","TUITION_FISCAL_YEAR":null,"TUITION_SOURCE":null,"TYPICAL_COSTS":null,"UPPER_DIVISION":"Lower Division","WHERE_ADMINISTERED":null}]}
