The curriculum in Biology is planned for preparation for professions requiring competence in biological science or for gaining an understanding of the world of living things. The professional group includes students who intend to secure advanced degrees through graduate study, students who are interested in work with various governmental agencies or industries having biological responsibilities, and students who want to prepare for careers in medicine or other health-related professions. Students whose interests are not professional select the curriculum because its broad approach can result in an educated view of the structure and function of living things. Achievement of these goals, including a special interest in a particular area of biology, can be met by selecting one of five options offered by the Department of Biology that will lead to the B.S. degree in Biology. The options and their key areas are:
ECOLOGY OPTION
Available at the following campuses: Altoona, University Park
Behavior, and population and community biology of plants and animals.
GENERAL BIOLOGY OPTION
Available at the following campuses: Abington, Altoona, Beaver, Berks, Brandywine, Harrisburg, Schuylkill, Scranton, University Park, York
All aspects of modern biology.
GENETICS AND DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY OPTION
Available at the following campuses: Abington, Berks, Harrisburg, University Park, York
Genetics, genetic engineering, and plant and animal development.
NEUROSCIENCE OPTION
Available at the following campuses: University Park
Development, biochemistry, physiology and aging of the central and peripheral nervous system.
PLANT BIOLOGY OPTION
Available at the following campuses: University Park
Morphology, systematics, and physiology of plants and fungi.
VERTEBRATE PHYSIOLOGY OPTION
Available at the following campuses: Abington, Altoona, Brandywine, University Park
Pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, pharmacology, and animal physiology.
WHAT IS BIOLOGY?
Biology is the scientific study of life: the diversity and organization of organisms, from single-celled bacteria to multi-cellular plants and animals, including humans. These different levels of biological organization range from the molecules and cells that compose an organism, to the interacting organisms that make up an ecosystem. Hands-on experiences, from designing and conducting lab experiments to making field observations using different procedures and instruments play an important role in gaining biological knowledge. Biologists explore ways to cure neurological diseases, conserve coral populations in tropical oceans, discover more efficient ways to use plants for food and bio-energy, develop vaccines for infectious diseases, and investigate many other facets of Biology.
