Centennial College's Biotechnology Fast-Track program is designed for college or university graduates seeking to earn a diploma in just one year (two semesters). Students gain direct entry into the second year (third semester) of the two-year Biotechnology program, preparing them for careers as laboratory technicians in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
The curriculum provides comprehensive hands-on training in microbiology and chemistry (including analytical, organic, and biochemistry). Key laboratory methods such as aseptic techniques and safety protocols receive significant emphasis. A distinctive aspect of this diploma is its project-based learning model, featuring independent microbiology projects that strengthen critical thinking and research abilities.
