This two year program is designed to allow students to attain employment upon graduation in biofuels production and other related endeavors such as feedstock production and procurement and co-product marketing and use. Students may also transfer to a four-year institution to complete higher degrees in science, engineering, agriculture, or business needed for non-entry level positions in the biofuels industry.

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:

• Demonstrate an understanding of systems perspectives in industry
• Exhibit knowledge of communication, organization, and leadership styles
• Display an understanding of basic scientific processes in biofuel production
• Demonstrate an understanding of biofuel feedstocks
• Identify economic and technical constraints in the biofuels industry
• Identify uses for co-products
• Articulate an understanding of wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and biofuels technologies
• Illustrate an understanding of basic mechanical functions applied in biofuels

Students should consult the catalog of the institution to which they expect to transfer and should select appropriate courses in consultation with their advisor.

The program course requirements are presented in sequence. Part-time students and others who cannot follow this sequence should check course descriptions in this Catalog to determine prerequisites and, in addition, should consult their academic advisor regarding the order in which they take courses.
