Students who enroll in this program are Utah Valley University (formerly Utah Valley State College ) students, and will pay Utah Valley University  tuition and fees although attending courses at the  SLCC Jordan campus.  While completing their coursework here, they will be provided with the necessary student services through the University Center, UVU and SLCC. 

In addition to fulfilling various prerequisites for the Biotechnology major, an Associate of Science Degree earned from SLCC meets all general education requirements at Utah Valley University.  Students not planning to complete an Associate of Science (A.S.) from SLCC are encouraged to meet with an advisor to understand the specific requirements in your individual situation.
