B.S. Biology: Specialization in Cell, Molecular, and Physiological Biology (Non-teaching)
 

This program is still supported by the Department, but is only open to students currently matriculated as Bio-CMP majors. 

The B.S. Biology: Specialization in Cell, Molecular, and Physiological Biology degree program focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms, integrated with organismal physiology, emphasizing the principles and practice of biological research. The program prepares students for careers that use the concepts and techniques of molecular and cellular biology; advanced training or careers in the health sciences; or graduate study in fields such as genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, cell physiology, or biochemistry. Course requirements for the program include:

Thirty-two (32) credits in Biology as follows:

• BIO 121, General Biology I

• BIO 122, General Biology II

• BIO 201, Principles of Cell and Molecular Biology

• BIO 202, Principles of Ecology and Evolution

• BIO 390, Special Problems in Biology, or BIO 391, Internship in Biology

• BIO 306, Genetics, BIO 311, Cell Biology, or BIO 316, Microbiology

• BIO 410, Ecological Physiology, BIO 412, Human Physiology, BIO 449,

• Plant Physiology, or BIO 495, Capstone in Molecular Biology and

Electives from the Cell, Molecular, and Physiological Biology course group to complete the 32 credits in the major. The Cell, Molecular, and Physiological Biology course group:

• BIO 306, Genetics

• BIO 311, Cell Biology

• BIO 316, Microbiology

• BIO 318, Anatomy and Physiology I

• BIO 319, Anatomy and Physiology II

• BIO 499, Undergraduate Thesis in Biology*

• CHEM 454, Biochemistry

• CHEM 456, Toxicology

(* With a topic focus approved by the CMP faculty advisor)
In addition, the student must take the following 27-28 credits of related requirements:

• CHEM 121, General Chemistry I

• CHEM 122, General Chemistry II

• CHEM 311, Organic Chemistry I

• CHEM 312, Organic Chemistry II

• PHYS 121, General Physics I

• PHYS 122, General Physics II

• MATH 125, Applied Calculus or Math 124, Applied Calculus with Trigonometry

Students must also select a Minor. For example, a Minor in Science may be elected if the student completes CHEM 121, CHEM 122, PHYS 121, and PHYS 122 with a grade of C- or better.
