Overview

The 120 credit-hour B.S. in Biology provides a broad foundation in the biological sciences, from microbiology to organismal biology to ecology and global systems. The major is designed for students interested in careers such as medical research, healthcare, education, communications, wildlife management, conservation, public service, environmental law, pre-veterinary, and academic science. Through three concentration options and electives, students can tailor their degree to specific professional interests and goals. As part of the academic program, students complete a capstone research project under the direct guidance of biology faculty. Students with high academic standing who wish to pursue competitive careers in the biological or medical sciences are encouraged to consider the Honors Capstone option. The Bachelor of Science in Biology has the following outcomes: Acquire a foundation of knowledge that includes the historical development of biological thought, cell theory, biogenesis, homeostasis, gene theory, and ecology. Evolution is stressed throughout the curriculum. Learn biology by doing biology. Students will acquire a basic set of laboratory skills. Also, throughout the curriculum, students will be given opportunities to perform independent research projects. Majors will learn to access and critique the primary literature, identify problems, design and implement appropriate procedures using technological tools, work independently or collaboratively, evaluate alternative solutions, and present the results of their work while using the language of the discipline. Explain the limitations of science and properly place biology among the sciences. Apply scientific thought processes to broader intellectual and social issues.
