Bachelor of Arts 和Bachelor of Science 在生物学中
Both the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science 在生物学中 are designed to ready students for a variety of professions in education, biomedical research, careers in business, nonprofit agencies and government, and for graduate programs in science, health professions or medical school.
为什么生物学?
As scientists learn more and more about the natural world, the field of biology continues to expand. The study of life itself, biology offers its students a world of options in terms of both academic focus and career choice. Some may choose to pursue careers in healthcare, for which a strong biology foundation is essential; others may pursue research and work in higher education; and others still may choose to pursue careers in government, military or agencies that help shape policies and practices that impact and protect life.
生物学 Curriculum
The Department 生物学的 offers two degree programs, the B.A. 在生物学中 and the B.S. 在生物学中. B.A. 和B.S. are 120-hour programs that incorporates a broad range of disciplines including evolution, cellular and molecular biology, 遗传学, topics in animal and human physiology, microbiology and 生态.
学生 can expect a rigorous and dynamic program with extensive lab and hands-on learning. Courses like anatomy and physiology, 生态, cell biology and molecular 遗传学 cover a broad scope of study and ensure students a comprehensive education. 校本 Honors students also have an opportunity for advanced research.
The 生物学 department provides support course work for a variety of health professional majors and offers courses that fulfill the core curriculum requirement of a laboratory science for students in all majors.
Bachelor of Arts degree offers students greater opportunity to tailor their experience. 学生 have several 生物学 course options available as they progress toward third and fourth-year study. They may also choose to select a minor in teaching or environmental science to support their career goals.
Bachelor of Science is the traditional 生物学 degree for students who intend to apply to professional, health professions and graduate schools. Courses in immunology, 病毒学, medical microbiology and bioethics help ensure they are well prepared.
生物学职业
The 生物学 major serves a wide variety of career opportunities. In addition to professional school opportunities or graduate school in biological sciences, the biology major provides a strong foundation in the basic life sciences that prepares students for research and technical positions in universities, government and industry. A biology degree also prepares graduates for positions in zoos, 博物馆, botanical gardens and wildlife parks. With a minor in teaching, graduates can be certified to teach biology in high school or science in middle school.
