生物学理学学士

生物学科学旨在了解各种形式的生命。生物系是世界一流实验室的所在地，其教师致力于推动知识前沿并教育下一代科学家和生物医学专业人才。研究和教学涵盖了现代生物学的范围，从微生物到多细胞动植物，从分子和细胞过程到遗传学，发展，行为和进化，学生在整个过程中都接触到现代概念和最先进的方法。他们的研究内容从入门课程到高级选修课，它们都深入探讨了生物学的主要领域。每个生物学专业都从该系分配了一名教职顾问，并与该教授会面，以根据学生的学术和职业目标选择课程。教师顾问还指导学生寻求课程改进的机会，例如研究经验和学习。
The science of biology aims to understand the workings of life in all its varied forms. The Department of Biology is home to world-class laboratories with faculty dedicated to pushing the frontiers of knowledge and educating the next generation of scientists and biomedical professionals. Research and teaching span the range of modern biology, from microbes to multicellular animals and plants, and from molecular and cellular processes to genetics, development, behavior, and evolution.<br><br>Students are exposed to modern concepts and state-of-the-art methods throughout their studies, from introductory courses to upper-level electives that explore major fields of biology in depth. Each Biology major is assigned a faculty adviser from the department and meets with that professor to select courses in the context of the student's academic and career goals. Faculty advisers also guide students in pursuing opportunities for curricular enhancement, such as research experiences and study away.<br><br>Three options are available to students pursuing a major in Biology. The standard Biology track gives majors a broad background, with the laboratory, quantitative, and reasoning skills needed for today's biology. The Ecology track also provides students with the broad background in modern biology, but with a focus on ecological concepts, approaches, and analytical methods. The Global Public Health/Biology major provides students with strong foundations in biological science and global public health, with a focus on one of three emphasis areas: genetics and genomics, infectious diseases, or environmental health.
