生物学理学学士-分子和细胞重点

Biology’分子与细胞重点专业是生物学与化学部门之间跨学科计划的一部分。细胞生物学是在生化或分子水平上对细胞的研究。分子生物学研究DNA，RNA和蛋白质合成之间的相互作用，以了解如何利用遗传学和生物信息学的工具和原理来调节这些相互作用。这是发展最快的领域之一，并且在近期取得了长足发展成就，例如整个人类基因组的测序。分子和细胞生物学的学士学位侧重于控制细胞功能的分子生物学和生物化学。学生参加数学，物理和化学课程以及核心生物学课程。一旦进入了400级生物化学和分子生物学课程，学生就可以追求自己的特定兴
Biology is the study of living organisms. As scientists, biologists have three goals: (1) understanding the structure and function of organisms, (2) generating and disseminating reliable data pertaining to biological systems, and (3) developing a deep understanding of the natural world that can inform solutions for the serious environmental, medical, and social concerns facing humanity.<br><br>Our goal as educators is to maintain intensive academic programs designed to stimulate curiosity, creativity and life-long critical thinking in students who pursue a liberal arts education in Biology. All of the B.S. programs in Biology are designed for students who plan to pursue post-graduate study or professional careers in biology or teaching. We have designed these programs to enable students to develop an integrated conceptual foundation in biology, as well as critical thinking skills, quantitative problem-solving abilities, leadership and team-building skills, and scientific research skills.
