This program of study is designed to expose the student to a wide variety of subjects within
the biological sciences and is the major of choice for students seeking teacher certification with a biology
concentration.
While encouraging a generalist approach to the biological sciences, the curriculum is also
designed to encourage:
- development of critical thinking
- analytical reading
- writing
- and public speaking skills
Service learning and community involvement are important components of the curriculum and
should be encouraged at every opportunity. Charges may be placed on the student's account for
laboratory equipment broken or damaged as a result of student negligence.
