Biology
is a dynamic, interesting and important field of study. The students
and faculty in our department
are interested in the study of life from molecular, cellular, organismal,
community and global perspectives. Our undergraduate programs in biology
provide excellent preparation for graduate or professional school
programs and for careers in industry and governmental agencies. Students
are also well prepared for medical, dental, or veterinary schools,
or toenter the many specialized graduate programs in the biological
sciences.
Our
faculty and staff are dedicated to offering a strong and exciting
undergraduate curriculum
and we take great pride in the accomplishments of our students.
Several opportunities exist to support student
research by working in the labs of our faculty or by participating
in our annual Undergraduate
Research Conference. Opportunities outside of the classroom include
the undergraduate student-run life sciences interest group TriBeta @ SU/ESF.
The Department of Biology
offers four programs of undergraduate
studies:
• The
Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree is designed for students
who wish to pursue graduate professional degrees in biology or
in the health professions.
• The
Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree With Focus on Environmental
Science is an interdisciplinary program designed for those
interested in the application of biology to a broad range of environmental
problems.
• The
Bachelor of Arts (BA) Degree is designed for students who
wish to pursue science related careers outside biology and for
whom some background in science may be useful, such as science
journalism, business, or law.
• A
Minor in Biology is designed for students who wish to augment
other majors such as psychology, engineering, chemistry, or illustration
with a biological component.
The Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree in Biochemistry is offered through the Dept. of Biology and the Dept. of Chemistry. Please visit http:/biochem.syr.edu for more information.
