Lecturers: Bryska, Gross, Lowder, Somerville, Warner, Wolfe The biological sciences are important in many areas of human endeavor encompassing wide‑ranging career opportunities in medicine and allied health professions, education, environment, research, and industry. The Department of Biology offers undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree and the Bachelor of Science degree. The B.A. degree provides a firm foundation in the basic principles of biology as background to understanding the biological world, and as preparation for many careers, such as medical/pharmaceutical sales; while the B.S. degree provides opportunity for advanced studies in academic or professional programs. The minor in Biology is offered for students who desire some experience in biology as an adjunct to their major. Biology programs can be tailored to fit the individual student's needs and interests. Through course selection, the student can emphasize many areas within biology: plant sciences, including horticulture, systematics, and plant physiology and ecology; animal sciences, which include behavior, morphology and physiology; microbial science, including virology and microbial physiology; cellular/molecular studies, such as genetics, development, immunology and biotechnology; and environmental sciences, including ecology and evolution. Opportunities for individualized instruction occur at every level from undergraduate research and tutorials with faculty in the junior and senior courses to honors research projects in the senior year. A program in medical technology is offered in cooperation with other institutions. Students planning to declare a major in Biology must earn a C or better in the lecture part (3 hours) of BIOL 2120, BIOL 2130, CHEM 1251, and CHEM 1252 before being accepted into the major. Students who plan to be Biology majors but have not completed this requirement will be listed as "pre-biology majors" (PBIO) by the registrar. A student who has two successive semesters with a cumulative GPA in Biology of less than 2.0 is ineligible for continuation in bachelors degree programs in Biology. BACHELOR OF ARTS A major in Biology leading to the B.A. degree consists of 32 semester hours of biology including: (1) a core sequence of General Biology I (BIOL 2120 + Lab) and General Biology II (BIOL 2130 + Lab), and a grade of C or better is required in the lecture sections of these two courses before anyone may advance; (2) four area courses: Cell (BIOL 3111 + Lab), Ecology (BIOL 3144), Genetics (BIOL 3166), and Animal or Plant Physiology (BIOL 3272 or 3273); and (3) Senior Seminar (BIOL 4600).
