Are you interested in training for a fulfilling, well paid career in Biology, Biotech or Clinical Labs? If so, consider taking Bioscience classes at Merritt College!
Merritt College is a Community College located in the beautiful Oakland hills. The Bioscience department has been training students for fifteen years: our graduates work in Hospital histotech labs, Biotech companies, Personalized Medicine labs, and many other places.
You don't need any sort of previous background in science to succeed in our courses, you just need curiosity and a strong interest in a meaningful career that pays a living wage (even for the Bay Area!).
The best place to start is by taking Bioscience 101: Theory and Practice of Optical Microscopy. It is a fun, easy going class: you will learn about a variety of career options and gain a marketable skill as a microscopist.
Join us at an online info session or in person open house for more info (see contact info below), or just sign up for the class.
The class starts August 19th 2025 and it ends on 12/9/25. For Biosci 101, the required attendance hours are Tuesdays 7-8 pm, via Zoom, plus one 3 hour weekly, in person, hands-on lab (your choice of Tuesdays 4-7 pm, or Wednesdays 4-7 pm, or Saturdays 12-3 pm).
