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。
Biology is the study of all living things-including microscopic bacteria and viruses, plants, and animals, and their relationship to their environments. Biology majors study the structure and function of cells, organ systems and tissues of animals and plants, ecology (the relationship between living things and their environment), animal behavior, genetics/genomics and evolution. They learn about physiology, behavior, genetics and heredity, aquatic systems, microscopic organisms such as bacteria, and techniques for diverse areas ranging from field research to biotechnology. This major provides a solid foundation of understanding the basic biological sciences. It also offers an opportunity to choose an area of emphasis within life sciences that relates to particular career goals (for example: the ecology of organisms, cell and molecular biology, biomedical professions, aquatic biology, marine biology, plant molecular biology for agricultural biotechnology and bioenergy, evolutionary biology, etc.).<br><br>Learning Outcomes<br>In addition to mastery of biological knowledge and skills, students will:<br><br>Interpret scientific data both mathematically and statistically.<br>Demonstrate organizational and laboratory skills.<br>Define scientific hypotheses and design experiments or observations to test them.<br>Work effectively in groups.<br>Demonstrate strong writing and oral communication skills.
