    Does anyone know of any hybrid lab-focused Biotechnology BAs (or even MAs) offered where you can take a large part or all of the non-lab component online?
    UMUC does have a BA, but only if you enter through certain community colleges and their MA in Biotech is management, not lab focused.

    Thanks to all who reply.

    The entirely online program requires some on-site instruction. From a quick review, it looks like the on-site requirement may not apply to all concentrations.

    I am not aware of any (legitimate) online BA/BS programs in Biotechnology. However, one could pursue a BA/BS in Biology through Excelsior College and take some lab courses either online through Ocean County Community College (actually the lab components are home kits) or through your local community college. Excelsior also offers some (non-lab) Biology courses online, with a number of upper level offerings available.

    BTW, UMUC's MS in Biotechnology has three tracks: Biotechnology Management, Bioinformatics and Biosecurity and Biodefense. The Bioinformatics track might be of interest to you (more of a programming/scientific focus). I'm considering applying to this program.

    Thanks,
