主修生物学
的 生物学B.S. trains students in the fundamental concepts and basic principles of the biological sciences. Areas of emphasis--including cellular and molecular biology, 微生物学, 生物技术, 有机体的, ecology and conservation biology, 植物生物学, and physiology-- allow students to specialize to meet diverse career goals.
生物学 majors receive practical training in field and laboratory biology, which prepares them for academic, 工业, 或者政府工作. 的 major also prepares students for professional schools (medical, 牙科, 或兽医), graduate school in any area of the biological sciences, training in an allied medical science, and secondary science education.
BIOLOGY MAJOR (40 SEMESTER HOURS)
需要生物学:
101 - 3小时.; 101L--1 hr.; 102--3 hrs.; 102L--1 hr.; 330--3 hrs.; 330L--1 hr.; 350--3 hrs.; 350L--1 hr.; 374--3 hrs.; 374L--1 hr.; 380--3 hrs.; 380L--1 hr.
选修课:
To complete the 40 hours required for the major, a minimum of 16 hours beyond the core curriculum must be selected from the following: 371/371L, 375/375L 403, 405, 406/ 406L, 408/408L, 412, 418, 424/424L, 425/425L, 426/426L, 427/427L, 428/428L, 431, 434, 437/437L, 445, 447, 450, 451, 454, 458/458L, 461/461L, 475, 476, 480, 482/482L, 485, 490, 491, and 492; Capstone 497, 498, 499, 化学431/431L, 432.
BIO 415 is an acceptable elective only for departmental majors pursuing a secondary school teaching curriculum. Four credit hours of BIO 492 may be used to fill the elective requirement.
A portion of the 16 hours of elective credit required of 生物学 majors beyond the core curriculum may be composed of courses from cognate areas, subject to the approval of the student's advisor and in agreement with the Department Chairperson. This excludes cognate courses that are prerequisite for courses in the 生物系.
学生 enrolled as teaching majors are urged to take a course in developmental biology and a course in conservation as part of the 16 hours of electives beyond the core curriculum.
Prerequisites for the 生物学 major include the following:
化学105- 3小时.; 105L--1 hr.; 106--3 hrs.; 106L--1 hr.; 351--3 hrs.; 351L--1 hr.; 352--3 hrs.; 352L--1 hr.; Mathematics--3?4小时. (a course in statistics or calculus, 比如生物学485, or Mathematics 131 or 241); Physics 105--3 hrs.; 105L--1 hr.; 106--3 hrs.; 106L--1 hr. (Total: 27 or more semester hours; thus, no fewer than 67 semester hours in sciences and mathematics are needed to complete a biology major.)
A chemistry or general science minor is recommended to accompany a biology major. 学生 planning to enter medical school should select 生物学 342--4小时. 461- 3小时. It is recommended that these students consider for inclusion in their course work the following: a chemistry minor, 一门外语, 人文选修课, 心理学101- 3小时. Because some physical science courses are prerequisites for the required courses in the 生物系, a 生物学 major can complete a chemistry minor with a minimum of 7 additional hours.
