Admissions Requirements
Enrollment and success at Gloucester Biotechnology does not require formal training in the sciences. We will provide the basic science and math skills necessary to work with confidence in a technical lab setting.
In order to apply, students must have a high school diploma or passing scores on all sections of the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) or General Education Development (GED) exam.
We consider the following factors in the admissions process:
- Aptitude and inclination for hands-on work
- Enthusiasm for science
- Ability to follow detailed instructions and complete tasks on schedule
- Willingness to learn new things
- Comfort working independently and as part of a team
