Open-enrollment professional development courses scheduled for May and early June have been canceled and will be rescheduled at a later date. If you enrolled in a course that has now been canceled, you will be contacted and fees will be refunded.
Decisions about subsequent open-enrollment courses are being made on a rolling basis, so please see the schedule of short courses and check the details for any course in which you are interested.

Contract Services
Services provided by BTEC's Bioprocess Services and Analytical Services programs are on hold until further notice. However, we are working remotely and are happy to communicate with all current and potential clients. Please contact us with inquiries, and we can discuss your needs, our capabilities, and how we might collaborate. Currently, we are working remotely with clients to design experiments that can be completed in the near future, when we resume operations. All current and upcoming clients will be notified once additional information about the university's plans to move forward becomes available.
