生物学理学学士

生物学专业的学生有机会专注于以下三个专业之一：分子与细胞生物学，解剖与生理学或进化与生态生物学。为了准备强调其中一个重点，所有学生都必须完成基础生物学课程的核心。这两个核心课程是普通生物学（101和102，两个学期）和遗传学（200）。通用生物学（101和102）是遗传学的先决条件。完成核心课程后，学生还必须参加两门核心选修课程（一个或两个集中领域：分子和细胞，解剖学和生理学或进化生物学和生态生物学）和至少14个学时的高级选修课课程。所有专业均要求参加高级研修班（493或494），并在大四学习。学生必须修
Biology majors are provided the opportunity to concentrate in one of three sub-specialties: molecular and cellular biology, anatomy and physiology, or evolutionary and ecological biology. To prepare for an emphasis in one of these concentrations, all students are required to complete a core of basic biology courses. These two core courses are General Biology (101 and 102, two semesters) and Genetics (200). General Biology (101 and 102) is a prerequisite for Genetics. After completing the core courses, students are also required to take two core elective courses (one from any two of the concentration areas: molecular and cellular, anatomical and physiological, or evolutionary and ecological biology) and a minimum of 14 credit hours of advanced elective courses. Senior Seminar (493 or 494) is required of all majors, and is taken in the senior year. A student must earn a minimum of thirty-five (35) credit hours in Biology to fulfill the requirements for the major. <br><br>Courses in chemistry, mathematics and physics must also be taken as supporting courses for the departmental major. The supporting courses include: mathematics through precalculus, one year of physics, one year of general chemistry including the laboratory component, organic chemistry I, organic chemistry II, and organic chemistry laboratory.
