Bachelor of Science - Biology

Biologists study life in all of its forms, from microscopic organisms to marine plants to the complex structure and function of the human body. By studying biology, students will learn how to apply the scientific method to unlock the divine mysteries of the natural world through topics like molecular and biology, human anatomy, botany, zoology, ecology, and microbiology. Majoring in biology will prepare them for advanced graduate study in areas like medicine, genetics, biotechnology, science education, and more.

Biology Student Learning Outcomes: • Students will demonstrate knowledge of the central dogma of biology and predict outcomes when the process malfunctions. • Students will demonstrate ability to use evolutionary theory and related equations to model and predict population change or stability. • Students will demonstrate ability to evaluate the impact of structure/part modification on a biological system and/or relationships between systems. • Students will demonstrate application of the formal practices of observation, experimentation, and hypothesis testing.
