The biological sciences program provides tailored departmental guidance, direct professor accessibility, exceptional peer networks, student organizations, and hands-on research experiences in faculty laboratories for undergraduates. Resources feature electron microscopy and specialized equipment for cellular/molecular biology, immunology, genetics, and ecological studies. Faculty expertise covers diverse domains including ecological systems, developmental biology, and molecular/cellular research.
Graduates of the biology or biological science programs will develop competencies in:
Mastering core principles of genetics and evolutionary theory,
Acquiring foundational knowledge of organismal diversity,
Understanding ecological adaptations of organisms, and
Critically assessing scientific data and literature
Program Objectives
Biology graduates will exhibit proficiency in:
Applying genetic and evolutionary concepts through (a) lecture assessments, (b) lab examinations, or (c) experimental reports.
Understanding cellular architecture and molecular processes via (a) course evaluations, (b) practical lab tests, or (c) research documentation.
Recognizing organismal variation through (a) academic testing, (b) laboratory evaluations, or (c) scientific write-ups.
