Mission
Biology is an exploration of the living world that underscores and explains the unity and diversity of life. 但它也是一项真正的人类努力,因为它影响到我们所有人. Because we live at this time in human history — at the beginning of what many believe to be a biological age — students must be able to apply biological concepts to the wide array of problems and choices they inevitably face.
Students who major in biology programs become familiar with all levels of biological organization from molecules to ecosystems and gain practical experience in both laboratory and field studies. Small classes enable the faculty to adopt an approach to learning that stresses how different subjects are related to each other, facilitates critical thinking, 并鼓励学生和教师之间的合作学习方法. Professors want students to experience the excitement and to see the applications of biology as well as appreciate science as a way of knowing about the world around them. In addition, 医学生物学课程强调实地机会的重要性, research experience, and experiential learning. The School of Biological Sciences also offers a graduate degree in Biological Sciences (master level) which is detailed in the graduate portion of this catalog. The School of Biological Sciences medically related programs benefit from interaction with the College of Osteopathic Medicine as well as UNE's graduate programs in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician assistant. 请访问我们的研究生课程页面了解详情.
Major Description
The medical biology major is designed to provide a strong foundation in the biological sciences for students who ultimately pursue careers in human medicine, dentistry, other health professions (e.g. 物理治疗),生物医学研究,或生物技术产业. Students in the medical biology major can choose one (1) of two (2) possible tracks: the medical sciences track or 医师助理预科课程.
The pre-physician assistant track is designed for students who wish to eventually enroll in a physician assistant program. This track provides students with a solid foundation in the biological sciences at the molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and organismal levels. 除了全面介绍一般生物学, the courses offered in this track introduce the student to the fields of physiology, biochemistry, cellular biology, and genetics. This track includes those courses that are prerequisite courses for entrance into physician assistant schools. In addition, students in this track have the opportunity to complete off-campus internships for college credit (e.g. 在医院、临床或实验室环境中).

学前卫生专业咨询委员会
The 学前卫生专业咨询委员会 (PHPAC) consists of professional staff and faculty members of the College of Arts and Sciences. The major function of this committee is to draft letters of evaluation for students applying to health professions programs such as Medical, Dental, and Veterinary schools. Interested students should view our web page for information regarding the protocol for obtaining a PHPAC letter of evaluation.
Graduation Requirements
A minimum grade of C- must be achieved in all science and mathematics courses used toward graduation in any of the School of Biological Sciences programs. A 2.00 cumulative average in sciences is a requirement for graduation in any of the School of Biological Sciences programs.
本专业的学生可以参加 学前健康研究生院准备课程.
