Environmental Biology Emphasis

The

environmental biology emphasis,

within the biology

major, provides undergraduate preparation for students who wish

to emphasize the biological sciences while pursuing careers in

such fields as conservation biology, wildlife biology, environmental

toxicology, and environmental health.

*Course provided by Cedarville University in partnership with AuSable Institute.

Additional elective courses may be completed in May or Summer sessions at

AuSable Institute by approval of the student's academic advisor.

Medical Technology Option

A

medical technology

option is available within the biology

major. The student must spend one year in a hospital internship

program to become a certified medical technologist. Prerequisites

to the hospital internship include: 16 hours of biology, 16 hours of

chemistry, one mathematics course, and completion of all general

education requirements.

Students may do an internship during their senior year with

32 hours of transfer credit applied to the biology major upon

successful completion of the internship. Many students complete

the requirements for a biology major first and then take the

internship after graduation from Cedarville University.

Physics Minor

Course requirements for the

physics minor

involve 18

semester hours including:

PHYS-2110, 2120, 2130 General Physics I, II, and III..................10 PHYS-3110 Intermediate Physics Laboratory.................................2 PHYS-3510 Modern Physics .........................................................3

Special Programs

Preagriculture Curriculum

The

preagriculture curriculum

is designed to satisfy the

technical and non-technical requirements of the first two years of a

typical agriculture program. Students should research agricultural

schools to which they wish to transfer at the junior level so that

application materials can be completed in advance of deadlines.

The preagriculture students should confer with their advisor to

select electives based on the following criteria:

• The requirements of the school to which they will transfer

after leaving Cedarville University

• The specific agricultural program they wish to enter

Course requirements include core requirements and an

emphasis in either agriculture business or agriculture science.

Core requirements include:

BTGE-1720 Spiritual Formation.....................................................3 BIO-1110 Introduction to Biology....................................................4 CHEM-1110 General Chemistry I...................................................4 ENG-1400 Composition.................................................................3 GMTH-1030 Precalculus................................................................4
