DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
The Mission of Undergraduate Studies in Biology
We will provide a well-balanced, high quality undergraduate education in biology, aimed at fostering a commitment to learning and application of biological principles throughout the experiences of life. Our goal is to prepare graduating students to be highly competitive for the best opportunities available in the workplace and in leading professional and graduate school programs.
GOALS OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES IN BIOLOGY:
(1) To provide students with an awareness of the diversity of life and the function of living systems by developing a core knowledge base in biology with particular emphasis on Departmental strengths in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology.
(2) To provide students with an opportunity to engage in scientific discovery, through the collection of data and the acquisition of field and laboratory skills in biology.
(3) To provide students with an opportunity to become proficient in organizational and analytical skills used in biology, including hypothesis testing, experimental design, data management, statistical analyses and interpretation of data.
(4) To provide students with an opportunity to become proficient in communication skills used in biology, including strategies for effective scientific literature reviewing, science writing, and oral and visual presentations.
(5) To expose students to the most recent ideas and discoveries in biology, and provide students with inspiration for creativity, critical thinking, modeling and theory development in biology.
(6) To provide students with a sense of the importance of the biological sciences to other disciplines, to human welfare, and to effective conservation of other species and the environment.
