Biology, B.A.
|
|
|
B.A. Requirements:
At least 34 credit hours in biology, to include at least 7.5 at the 300-level. Biochemistry courses BCM 365 and BCM 465 may be used to fulfill these requirements.
One 400-level capstone course:
Research Experience:
Students must take at least one course which incorporates a research experience (BIO 405 , BIO 416 , BIO 430 , BIO 440 or BCM 465 ) or an independent research experience, such as summer research on- or off-campus. Subsequently, the student presents the results of the research-type experience to biology faculty and peers at a seminar. The required seminar, BIO 475 , is taken over three terms (not necessarily consecutive). At the beginning of the sequence, the student is an observer and questioner. During the term in which the student enrolls to make his/her seminar presentation, a total of one credit hour is awarded for the entire sequence.
Required Support Courses for the B.A. Degree:
Biology major (B.A.) with Secondary Education Supplemental major:
A typical student will need 142-148 hours to complete the degree. Certification requirements in anatomy, astronomy and geology may be met by successful completion of an exam, reducing the total number of credit hours required. Consult Education Department Handbook for all certification requirements.
Typical Course Sequence
During the first two years there are many logical plans for course work from which the student might select depending on individual interest, goals and personal reservations. The following chart summarizes a general recommended sequence.
