OVERVIEW

Imagine 被 的 引领 scientist 在 a 集团 of 同行 as 你 研究 的 intricacies of living systems. Or 会 成 的 场 to 工作 alongside a biology professor 做 real-world research 你'll 晚些时候 present at a national conference.

Biology is a 职业生涯-versatile 主要 focused on 的 研究 of 生活 processes 和 living organisms (人类, 植物, 动物 和 aquatic).

It is 理想的 preparation 为 medical 和 pre-professional programs, as 好吧 as teac她的 education 和 graduate school.

Small class sizes, individual attention 和 faculty 导师ing 是 at 的 核心 of BW的 biology program. You'll 学习 by 做. Starting freshman 一年, 你'll 有 access to 实验室 在哪里 你 可以 获得 valuable research experience.

Specialty laboratories include: anatomy, botany, ecology 和 场 biology, physiology, invertebrate, molecular ecology, genetics, microbiology, neuroscience 和 development. 也 available 是 实验室 dedicated to student-faculty research.

Convenient access to 板凳上 空间 和 equipment provide 你 与 intense, impressive research experience at 的 undergraduate 水平.

Independent research studies, 场 experiences 和 internships bridge 这两个 的oretical 和 practical applications. Opportunities to 工作 on research projects 可以 引领 to presentations at scholarly conferences 和 公共ation.

Students 和 faculty frequently 应用 为 格兰特s to support on会 research projects. Students 获得 格兰特 writing experience 而 supporting 他们的 research projects.

Impressive Facility, Dynamic Learning

BW的 现代 biology laboratories 是 equipped 与 specialized instruments available to students. Research opportunities include pollination ecology, molecular control of 动物 development, 人类 cadaver dissection, cultured neurons 和 population genetics. 在 它的 amenities 是 an 昆虫 房间里, greenhouse, zebrafish aquaria, 植物 增长 chambers, 和 outdoor 本地的 植物 和 雨 gardens. BW 也 有 fluorescent microscopes, 的rmocyclers, microinjectors 和 electrophoresis equipment to support a variety of research approaches.
