Degree Requirements
The biology faculty has developed a broad-based course sequence that
provides thorough training in the biological sciences. Regardless of their ultimate
career choice, all majors take a 32-hour core of courses consisting of general
biology, animal diversity, plant diversity, bacteriology, general ecology, genetics, cell
and molecular biology, and either plant or animal physiology. A year of general chemistry
also is required. With advisement, students select the appropriate electives to fulfill
their specific career objective. Elective courses include embryology, entomology, field
zoology, field botany, parasitology, recombinant DNA technology, lab techniques, and
individual research, among others. Students are encouraged to do research and to present
and publish their findings.
