专业概况
在这里学什么？
The Biology program at St. Edward's fundamental principles of biology at every level of biological organization, from genes to cells and organ systems to even ecosystems. In addition to the core courses, students will have the opportunity to participate in student-faculty research through courses and summer research programs with the goal of producing and presenting professional-level work. All curricula in the Biological Sciences are founded upon evolutionary theory, which provides opportunities for testing of hypotheses that strengthen our understanding of the processes that account for the diversity of life on earth. Over the course of your studies as Biology major, you will
- Conduct independent scientific investigations
- Utilize spacious, open-lab environments in the John Brooks Williams Natural Sciences Center
- Access state-of-the-art instrumentation for innovative and collaborative research
- Gain technical knowledge to prepare for a career or post-graduate study
- Evaluate research findings and produce professional-quality independent work
- Engage in teaching labs that focus on experimentation
General Education Requirements: The Biology degree requires 57 hours of general education courses that students complete over four years in addition to their major courses.
Bachelor of Science in Biology
Health Professions Track
- Designed for students who intend to pursue further education and a career in the health professions such as medicine, veterinary medicine, physician assistant, dentistry, physical therapy, public health or nursing
- Degree requirements include the prerequisites for most professional schools
- An example of a course you will take is Evolution, an in-depth analysis of evolution via natural selection using examples from all major classes of organisms. Emphasis is placed on the mechanism and resulting products of evolutionary change. Evolutionary change is examined at the molecular, organismal and population levels of organization.
Graduate School Track
- Designed to provide a strong background in biology and research and prepare students for graduate school
- Prepares students for education at the graduate level leading to careers outside the health professions. Students might study molecular biology, cellular biology, developmental biology, microbiology, neurobiology, zoology, botany, ecology or other fields
- An example of a course you will take is Population Biology and Ecology wherein students study the abundance and distribution of populations and collect and analyze data in experiments designed to test the theories presented in lecture. These include studies of distribution patterns, foraging behavior, and population and community structure.
