生物科学理学学士-定量生物学

满足以下要求的生物科学专业学生将被视为已完成定量生物学专业。定量生物学是一个新兴的跨学科领域，涵盖了从种群到分子的所有生物学规模的问题，并使用了从计算机科学，统计学和数学中得出的定量方法。学生将学习前沿生物学研究所需的技能：以高级语言编程，从数据集中提取信息以及分析动态和随机系统的数学模型。
Biology is the study of life, past and present. The faculty of the College believe that a sound knowledge of biology is essential for understanding ourselves and the world in which we live, as well as engaging many pressing problems facing humanity and becoming a part of their eventual solution. Our curriculum offers courses in many fields, from theoretical to experimental biology, and from molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying life to the complex interactions of organisms in ecosystems. At a major research institution, the focus of all courses in the Biological Sciences Collegiate Division is on scientific reasoning, research, and discovery. The goals of the Biological Sciences program are to give students (1) an understanding of currently accepted concepts in biology and the experimental support for these concepts, and (2) an appreciation of the gaps in our current understanding and the opportunities for new research in this field. Bachelor of Science (BS): The BS is designed for students who wish to delve more deeply into the field of their major through additional electives, participate in scientific research, and complete a BS thesis that summarizes their research. Successful BS students will (1) learn how scientists design and conduct scientific experiments, (2) collect data as part of a research effort, (3) evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of that data, (4) interpret the data in the context of a specific scientific discipline, and (5) describe their work in a BS Thesis.
