B.S. in Biological Sciences
The Department of Biological Sciences offers a curriculum
emphasizing broad training in biology as the key to success in
graduate school, professional school, teacher education and
technical careers. The major is built upon a strong foundation of
general biology courses, followed by electives to meet student
interests.
Students studying science should be exposed early and often to
the methods of discovery, inquiry and problem solving used by
scientists to explain the natural world. Faculty are familiar with
these methods as we apply them in our individual research programs,
and we strive to develop such capabilities in our students.
Therefore, we give our students opportunities to actively use the
tools of scientific investigation in the lab and the field through
a variety of courses at the molecular, cellular, organismal and
population levels of biological organization.
