Medical Biology

生物学是对生命世界的探索，强调并解释了生命的统一性和多样性. But it is also a truly human endeavor in that it affects us all. 因为我们生活在人类历史的这个时期——许多人认为这是一个生物时代的开端——学生们必须能够将生物学概念应用到他们不可避免地面临的一系列问题和选择中.

主修生物学课程的学生将熟悉从分子到生态系统的各个层次的生物组织，并在实验室和实地研究中获得实践经验. 小班授课使教师能够采用一种强调不同学科如何相互关联的学习方法, facilitates critical thinking, 并鼓励学生和教师之间的合作学习方法. 教授们希望学生们体验这种兴奋，看到生物学的应用，并将科学作为了解周围世界的一种方式来欣赏. In addition, the medical biology program stresses the importance of field opportunities, research experience, and experiential learning. 生物科学学院还提供生物科学研究生学位(硕士水平)，详细介绍在本目录的研究生部分. 学校的医学相关项目受益于与骨科医学院以及正规澳门赌场网络物理治疗研究生项目的互动, occupational therapy, and physician assistant.

医学生物学专业旨在为最终从事人类医学职业的学生提供坚实的生物科学基础, dentistry, other health professions (e.g. physical therapy), biomedical research, or the biotechnology industry. 

医学方向为学生在分子生物学方面打下坚实的基础, cellular, tissue, organ, and organismal levels. In addition to the comprehensive introduction to general biology, 这方面的课程向学生介绍生理学的各个领域, biochemistry, cellular biology, and genetics. 本课程还包括进入医学和牙科学校的必修课程以及物理治疗研究生课程, Occupational Therapy, and other health professional programs. 本课程中许多以实验室为基础的课程使学生熟悉用于生物学研究的最新实验室技术, 对于希望进入生物医学研究生院或在生物技术行业工作的学生来说，这是一个优势. Finally, 该专业的学生有机会完成校外实习以获得大学学分(e).g. in a hospital, clinical, or laboratory setting).

This program is designed for: pre-medical students, pre-dental students, pre-veterinary students, 最终将进入生物科学研究生院的学生, and students who will eventually enter the biotechnology industry.

生物科学学院理学学士学位毕业生的预期学习成果:

• Knowledge of fundamental principles in biology, relevant concepts in mathematics and the physical sciences, 以及运用这些知识对新的生物信息进行批判性分析的能力, in the following areas:
  • Molecular and Cellular Basis of Life — including cell structure, metabolism, heredity, and reproduction.
  • Organismal Diversity — including organismal structure and function, hierarchy of organization, and the evolution of life.
  • 生物及其环境的相互关系-包括非生物和生物的相互作用, biogeochemical cycles; ecosystems and their dynamics, and human actions and interventions.
• Understanding of the process of science, as well as demonstrated competency in biological research, with a particular emphasis on:
  • The scientific method, including observational, comparative, and experimental approaches and the tools utilized.
  • A critical reading of the primary scientific literature.
  • Data analysis, interpretation, 科学成果的交流(包括口头报告和科学报告写作).
• 认识到生物科学与现实世界问题的相关性，包括:
  • 熟悉当前和未来研究的途径和应用，以及使用它们的职业.
  • Bioethical issues and their biological and social basis.
  • 承认公民有责任分享知识和运用专门知识来改善人类和环境健康.

The medical biology minor requires six (6) biology courses, including the introductory biology series. In particular, 希望辅修生物学的生物学专业学生必须在本专业必修课程之外选择四(4)门课程. 除了入门级的100级课程外，没有一门生物课程可以同时满足主辅要求.

We offer qualified students the option of graduating with Honors. This includes significant research, scholarship or creative activity under the direction of a faculty member. Interested students should consult with their advisor.

以前在另一个认可的大学完成的课程可以转移到这个学位课程. 转学的生物学课程必须在范围和内容上与正规澳门赌场网络提供的生物学课程相当接近，才能被视为完全等同. Otherwise, they will transfer as general electives. 所有以前完成的生物课程必须不超过8年.

Other options and restrictions apply. See Undergraduate Admissions for more information.
