Biotechnology

Introduction

In 2003 Tulsa County voters approved “Vision 2025,” a 13-year county sales tax increase to fund regional economic development and capital improvements, which included $8 million to construct TCC’s 34,000 square-foot Medical and Biotechnology Learning Center at the college’s Southeast Campus (SEC). The facility is scheduled for completion in December 2006, with TCC’s biotech program accepting its first declared biotechnology majors in the fall of 2006. Biotechnology lab courses will be available in the spring of 2007.

TCC biology and chemistry faculty developed the biotech program curriculum, which will include more than 40 lab techniques practiced in molecular biology labs. Emphasis will be on experimental design and cutting-edge technology. The Introduction to Biotechnology course will cover at least ten of the most fundamental biotech research methods and will serve as the foundation of the program.

 
Tulsa Community College would like to thank the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for its commitment to biotechnology education. The Regents Economic Development program is providing support for a Biotechnology Career Pathways for Workers and Entrepreneurs project. Project partners include: Workforce Tulsa; the OU College of Medicine in Tulsa; the OSU College of Health Sciences in Tulsa; the Cancer Treatment Center; and the Tulsa Technology Center. TCC is matching this amount at nearly 21%. Diana Spencer, PhD, serves as PI for the one-year grant from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE).
