Biotechnology (Diploma, Certificate, A.A.S. degree)
Biotechnology, one of the oldest and strongest of all of the high-technology manufacturing segments, is an industry focus that refers to the purposeful engineering and use of living organisms or their products to produce useful products which are beneficial to society and/or the environment.

The program is a five semester program (assuming full-time load) which starts in the fall of each year. The program can be completed in two academic years or slower at the discretion of the student. The first two semesters consists of general education science, math and communication classes along with two introductory, online biotechnology courses. Many of the general education classes are also available online. The following fall and spring semesters primarily consist of laboratory instrumentation classes, biotechnology methods classes, quality assurance and control classes taught at NDSCS-Fargo.

Nanoscience Technology, (Diploma, Certificate, A.A.S. degree)
Nanoscience is an emerging technology that studies the composition, structure, properties and behavior of material at the molecular and atomic level. Nanotechnicians work in a wide variety of industries including biomedicine/biotech, microelectronics/microfabrication (RFID), materials/coatings/polymers, agriculture production, food processing/value added agriculture, environmental analysis/bio-remediation and energy (H-fuel cells/biomass/solar/wind).

The first two semesters may be taken at the NDSCS campus in Wahpeton or NDSCS-Fargo. Many of the classes are also available online. The following fall and spring semesters primarily consist of nanoscience classes taught at NDSCS-Fargo.
