The Biotechnology program at Loveland High School is one of very few Career Tech programs housed in a traditional high school setting. The program is partnered with Cincinnati State. The students completing the biotechnology program earn 4 high school credits and 7 semester hours from Cincinnati State. The junior year covers the following: standard laboratory operating procedures, microbiology, nucleic acids, rDNA, PCR, proteomics, immunology and forensics. The senior year reinforces the same skills taught in the junior year, but does so with different scientific topics as the focus. Those topics include: environmental biotech, agricultural biotech, fermentation technologies, and bioinformatics. In addition, senior biotech students must also complete a Capstone Project. These projects are developed by the students and are defended at a competition in the spring of their senior year.
