2001-2002 Academic Catalog

School of Engineering, Science Biology - Bachelor of Science The bachelor ofscience degree with a major in biology prepares students for graduate study in the biological sciences by including the course requirements prescribed by many of the leading graduate-level biology degree programs in the nation. This major enhances the sh1dent's depth of knowledge in biology and increases the breadth of exposure to chemistry, mathematics, and physics. Course requirements involve 123 hours including: Biology requirements ............................................................. 33 BI0-114 Introduction to Biology ............................................ 5 BI0-115 General Zoology ....................................................... 5 BI0-116 Introduction to Cell Biology ..................................... 5 BI0-134 General Botany ......................................................... 5 BI0-200 General Ecology ....................................................... 5 BI0-240 Introduction to Research Methods ........................... 2 BI0-306Genetics ..................................................................... 5 BI0-390Biological Research I .................................................. 3 BI0-440Biology Senior Seminar .............................................. 1 Departmental requirements .................................................. 62 CHEM-151,152,153 GeneralChemishyI,11,III ....................... 12 CHEM-356Biochemistry .......................................................... 5 CHEM-357,358,3590rganicChemishyI,11,III ......................... 15 MATH-281,282,283 Analytic Geomehy and Calculus I,11,III...................................................................... 15 PHYS-271,272,273 GeneralPhysicsI,II,III ............................ 15 Electives (meeting the following criteria) .............................. 25 A.
