生物学文学士

生物学的本科课程为研究生或专业学校课程以及行业和政府机构的职业提供了出色的准备。从这些课程毕业的学生已经为医学院，牙科或兽医学校做好了充分的准备，或者可以进入生物科学的许多专业研究生课程。在生物技术的发展领域，无论是工业界还是政府，职业机会都越来越多。生物学的文学学士学位和生物学的理学学士学位课程中生物技术课程的选修课程为此类职业做好了很好的准备。生物学的文学学士学位课程提供了生物学的一般背景，并且课程安排最灵活提供三个生物学学位。特别推荐给专业前，有多个专业，打算在国外大三或实习计划，或者有大量课外活动
The Biology BA degree program provides a general background in biology and has the most flexible scheduling of the three biology degrees offered. It is especially recommended for students who are pre-professional, have multiple majors, intend to study abroad or participate in an internship program, or have significant extracurricular commitments (e.g., varsity athletics, student government, Greek life, or other campus involvement). Since the Biology BA degree does not formally require undergraduate research, students interested in graduate research careers should plan to take at least one semester of undergraduate research as an elective (BIOL 388 or BIOL 388S) sometime during the senior year.<br><br>The Biology, BA has a core of foundation courses and provides options for specialization in a variety of areas, including biotechnology and genetic engineering, molecular and cellular biology, genetics, immunology, chemical biology, physiology and biophysics, neurobiology and animal behavior, developmental biology, population biology, ecology, and environmental science. Individual research projects form a significant part of the curriculum. Advanced biology majors may register, with permission, for graduate-level courses in the department and in the School of Medicine.
