生物学文学士

生物科学包括从分子的结构和功能到生物群落的行为和进化的水平上对生命系统的研究。该系提供了四种不同的途径来掌握这一广泛领域的技能和知识。生物学学士学位和学士学位课程为生物学提供了广泛的介绍，并为学生提供了建立适合其特定兴趣的学习计划的机会。专注于生物学特定方面的研究计划是行为神经科学和分子生物学领域的文学学士和理学学士学位以及生物化学领域的理学学士学位。该部门由很多人组成：教师，行政人员，技术人员和研究生研究/教学助手。将我们联系在一起的一件事是，我们正在努力做自己真正喜欢的事情，即先进的生物学教育和研究。
Lehigh’s undergraduate major and minor in biology provides students with a base for learning the principles governing life at the molecular, cellular, organismal and ecological level. The biological sciences include the study of living systems at levels ranging from the structure and function of molecules to the behavior and evolution of communities of organisms. Undergraduates can pursue B.A. or B.S. degrees in biology, molecular biology, and behavioral neuroscience or a B.S. degree in biochemistry. The Department is affiliated with programs in premedical or predental sciences, and bioengineering. Our curricula offer distinctive experiences that provide exceptional preparation for graduate school, professional training, and careers in health-related industries. Students are actively encouraged to become involved in independent study and honors research where they work directly with faculty and graduate students on the generation of new knowledge. Through coursework and laboratory experience, students learn to conceptualize and address scientific problems, understand professional responsibility, work independently and as part of a team, and bring an integrated, multi-disciplinary perspective to bear on contemporary issues in the life and health sciences.<br>The Department of Biological Sciences strongly supports the positions of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Academy of Sciences that intelligent design is not scientific and should not be presented as science in science classes. The requirements for the B.A. and B.S. in biology, neuroscience, and cellular and molecular biology are listed below. Research interests of the faculty and instrumentation are described in the section on graduate education.
