生物科学理学学士-生物科学

该课程包括两个学期的入门级生物学顺序，细胞生物学，发育生物学，生态学，进化和遗传学。物理科学必修课程包括至少一年的基础化学和物理学入门课程（有实验室），至少一门有机化学课程（带有实验室）和生物化学课程。还需要微积分课程和统计课程。此外，学生可以选择以下12个学分的选定领域：解剖学/生理学，水生生物学，行为生物学，细胞/分子和遗传生物学，生态学，进化/遗传学以及系统学，微生物学或整合有机生物学。还有另外两个领域的一门课程的要求，这确保了广泛的学习基础。
This curriculum provides a broad background in the basic biological sciences, and permits students to select courses in areas of particular interest. The major is especially useful in meeting the pre-professional requirements in the biosciences. Students desiring this preparation should also check the appropriate pre-professional requirements.<br><br>The curriculum includes a two-semester introductory biology sequence, cell biology, developmental biology, ecology, evolution, and genetics. Required courses in the physical sciences include a minimum of one year in introductory chemistry and in physics (with labs), and at least one course in organic chemistry (with lab), and one in biochemistry. A calculus course and a statistics course are also required. In addition, students must complete a minimum of 18 upper-division credits of which 9 credits must be from BZ courses.<br><br>Learning Objectives<br>Students completing the Major in Biological Science with a concentration in Biological Science will attain a well-rounded education grounded in the natural sciences, with emphasis on the current state of knowledge in biology. Upon successfully completing the degree, they will be able to:<br><br>Attain a solid foundation in the natural sciences, with emphasis on biological processes and phenomena,<br>Demonstrate a fundamental understanding of biological concepts, processes, and phenomena that are broadly applicable to organisms, and a detailed understanding of knowledge relevant to specific fields of biology of interest to the student,<br>Demonstrate strong analytical, mathematical, and statistical skills, and the ability to apply these appropriately in biological contexts,<br>Demonstrate the ability to analyze, synthesize, integrate, and evaluate material from biology and related fields, and effectively communicate such information.
