Students may choose an Area of Emphasis while earning their B.S. in 生物学 that provides more indepth coursework in one of three areas: Cell/Molecular 生物学 & Infectious Disease, Ecology & 进化或 生理学 & Organismal 生物学. If a student wishes to focus within an area of emphasis, the student’s Senior Capstone Experience (SCE) must also be designed with that focus 记住. 的 生物学 部门 also seeks to emphasize to its majors that the discipline of biology is intimately related to many disciplines outside of the sciences. 作为 of the major, students will gain an appreciation of the impact of biology on history, and they will appreciate the many philosophical and ethical questions that have biological underpinnings. Students are encouraged to find additional connections—to the humanities, to the social sciences, and to the other science fields—as they pursue their education.
