Chemistry-based technology program resources
Chemistry-based technology programs are programs that focus primarily on preparing students for the workplace. While most are two-year programs, there are some four-year programs. Depending on the emphasis of the program, they have a variety of titles, such as Chemical Techology, Laboratory Technology, Process Technology, Biotechnology, etc. However, they all have chemistry at their core.
