Faculty Highlight: Dr. Miriam Segura-Totten Dr. Miriam Segura-Totten is collaborating with biology education students Kristen Howard, Kelsee Ryan and Emma Thomaswick, and Dr.April Nelms in the Teacher Education Department on a project to better understand how students read biology literature. The study centers on investigating the obstacles that undergraduates encounter when reading biology research articles. The ultimate goal of this research is to create ways of analyzing the literature that allow students to overcome these obstacles. To attempt to determine these barriers, the research team will conduct focus groups and think aloud exercises with biology students at UNG. UNG undergrads take research to state conference January 5, 2016 A dozen UNG undergraduate students journeyed to the Georgia Undergraduate Research Conference in Statesboro, Georgia, to present their own research and learn what their peers from other institutions are pursuing. Undergrads complete program to help entrance to medical school October 29, 2015 Three undergraduate students at the University of North Georgia (UNG) completed a program this summer that could help them get accepted into medical school.

The Department of Biology at West Virginia University is dedicated to the study of living organisms and the processes of life. Our faculty train students in the rapidly-expanding field of biology and pursue discovery through individual and collaborative research activities. The Department of Biology offers two undergraduate degree programs, the bachelor of science (B.S.) and the bachelor of arts (B.A.) in biology. These two programs are structured to meet the needs of all students who are interested in a career in the broad area of the life sciences. Both of our undergraduate degrees provide excellent preparation for students who are preparing to attend graduate school and medical, dental, or other medically related professional schools. A degree in biology prepares students for a wide range of careers in the biological sciences including environmental biology, biotechnology, genetics, and other biologically related technical fields in government and private industry. In addition, with appropriate electives, students with a degree in biology can pursue a career in a wide array including law, journalism, teaching, health care administration, and business. Irrespective of the degree program chosen, students will experience a wide variety of classroom environments from large lecture sections to small group discussions and intensive laboratory-oriented … Continue reading →

Biology students at City College pursue Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees. The PHD is offered jointly by the City University of New York and City College, with areas of specialization in cell and molecular biology, neurobiology, and ecology and evolutionary biology. Click the image for our current newsletter. Resource Center The Resource center of the Department of Biology (MR 502) maintains a wide variety of reference materials for students use in conjunction with many of the undergraduate courses. Instructors will inform students as to the availability of materials available for their course. The faculty is open Monday through Friday 9:30am-5pm. Tutoring Special tutoring service are available to those students needing help in biology. Students seeking to avail themselves of such services are directed to the Division of Science Advising Center(CCAP) located in the Administration office on the first floor of the Marshak Building, Room 108. Imaging complex The Imaging Complex houses a transmission electron microscope, a scanning electron microscope, a con focal microscope, a digital darkroom, a complete support faculty for tissue preparation. In addition to its use in several courses, the facility supports faculty and students research in many aspects of cellular biology. See the original post here: … Continue reading →

Department Overview 106 Kincaid Biology is the broadly based study of living organisms and has become an increasingly dynamic and wide-ranging discipline. It may be approached by focus on cell and molecular processes, development, organismal physiology and morphology, natural history, evolution, conservation, or ecology. The aim is to elucidate general principles applicable to many different sorts of organisms rather than to concentrate on any particular taxonomic group. Biology is often interdisciplinary in nature and may involve aspects of biochemistry, botany, genetics, microbiology, zoology, and many other natural sciences. Adviser 318 Hitchcock, Box 355320 206-543-9120 bioladv@uw.edu The Department of Biology offers the following programs of study: Designed for students desiring breadth of training, the Bachelor of Arts program does not require physics. Students do not select an emphasis, and hence have greater flexibility in upper-division biology electives. The Bachelor of Science options are as follows: Each of the above bachelor's degree programs in the biological sciences can be combined with Washington State requirements to prepare students to teach biology in public schools at the secondary level. See the Biology Teaching Program adviser for specific requirements. Suggested First- and Second-Year College Courses: Same as for the Bachelor of Science degree as described … Continue reading →

The Department of Biological Sciences offers a wide range of degrees.
