每个生物学专业的学生都根据自己的兴趣和职业目标选择专业. 的 five concentrations offered are 普通生物学 (UBIG), Wildlife and Environmental 生物学 (UBIW), 生物技术(UBIO), 生物学 Secondary Education (UBIT), and Pre-Health 生物学 (UBIP). 请参阅本页底部的课程链接,了解具体的生物学核心和浓度要求.

In addition to regular course work, every 生物学 major participates in an intensive 凯普斯通研究项目. 通过第一手的经验,学生们开始理解科学的过程,并欣赏生物系统的复杂性和多样性. 的 program also gives the 学生 invaluable training in scientific writing, 数据分析, and oral presentation skills.

在实验室工作的学生

学习目标

  • Explain how the basic principles of the biological hierarchy (molecular, 细胞, 有机体的, 人口, 公共, 生态, and global) are interconnected.

  • 通过其因果进化机制来区分不同的生物特征.

  •  用科学的方法调查与他们的集中有关的假设.

  • 展示传达生物信息的能力,并以适合目标受众的形式传递信息.

  • 使用生物学视角作为当代政策讨论中公民参与的基础, 包括反种族主义, 公共卫生, 气候变化.

实验室安全

实验室指导涉及对存在一定安全风险的化学品和材料的处理. 十大网赌信誉平台致力于确保所有大学员工的健康和福祉, 学生, 和游客. In regard to lab safety specifically, 大学有法律义务遵守联邦职业安全与健康管理局的“实验室标准”规定.

实验室标准的目标是确保所有实验室人员了解实验室环境中存在的化学和其他安全危害, 适当的工作实践和设备到位,以保证实验室人员的安全. A critical element of the Lab Standard is the preparation of a 化学卫生计划 (CHP) that spells out expected lab conduct, standard operating procedures, personal protective equipment, 实验室安全设备, 应急程序, 等.
