生物学科学学士-生态与进化

生物学系的任务是通过使学生认识到生物科学对他们的生活的相关性以及他们在经历快速技术进步的社会中所面临的选择的认识，为综合性的文科课程做出贡献。为此，学生将发展知识和技能，使他们能够评估他们的决定对有关经济，个人健康和福利以及环境的地方，区域和全球问题的影响。完成生物学专业的学生将为进入科学的入门职业做好准备，或为在研究生院和专业学校中接受高级培训做好准备。为了完成任务，生物学课程旨在解决以下七个目标：理解科学过程的机制，应用和局限性；理解和理解进化与生命的多样性；证明结构之间的关系；发挥生命系统的功能和能
The mission of the Department of Biology is to contribute to the comprehensive liberal arts curriculum by fostering in students an appreciation of the relevance of the biological sciences to their lives and the choices they will be faced with as members of a society experiencing rapid technological advances. To this end, students will develop knowledge and skills that will enable them to evaluate the impact of their decisions on local, regional and global issues concerning the economy, personal health and welfare, and the environment. Students completing the biology major will be prepared for entry-level careers in science or to pursue advanced training in graduate and professional schools. To fulfill the mission, the biology curriculum is designed to address seven goals, To provide an understanding of the mechanics, application and limitations of the scientific process, Develop an appreciation and understanding of evolution and the diversity of life, Demonstrate the relationships between structure, function and energy in living systems, Culture an appreciation for the historical development of scientific knowledge, Instruct students in effective utilization of discipline-specific information resources, Develop technical and analytical skills appropriate to modern biological investigation, Enhance both written and oral communication skills appropriate to the discipline.
