Biotechnology Degree, Where Do I Begin?

[BioLinTician]

Hi, I'm pretty new here and I've read over the forum over the last 2 weeks but I'm still a bit confused as to where to start with all this. My chosen career path is Biotechnology and I did notice that the 3 schools here do offer a degree in biology. I'm wondering if that degree would allow me to work in the biotech field. Or how would I convert this to a biotechnology degree? Are there additional courses I would need to take on top of this BS in Biology in order to have a BS in Biotech? This is also my first time going to college. Any information would be helpful as I certainly feel lost. Also, could I enroll in one of the Big-3 and use financial AID to test out of the classes or would this be a complex process?
