150 Biological and Life Sciences Course Programs

Mixing the study of chemistry and biology, you'll examine life on a molecular level. Customize your biochemistry major with an abundance of electives including cell biology, organic chemistry, genetics, immunology, and microbiology. You'll work closely with faculty and classmates in a state-of-the-art, LEED-certified building. Your labs will give you hands-on experience in courses ranging from mechanistic biochemistry to biochemistry of metabolism and molecular biology.

The biology minor offer you the chance to broaden and deepen your understanding of life science. It will allow students who have an interest in biology to further their studies and enhance their education by exploring this field of science. The Biology program at Trine University is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of biological principles, processes, and applications. Through a combination of classroom instruction, laboratory work, and hands-on experiences, students gain knowledge and skills in various areas of biology.

The Biology Department is committed to preparing students for success in graduate school, professional school and as career candidates. Biology majors have faculty advisers in the department to help them select courses that will meet their individual goals. Courses span the spectrum of biological disciplines that prepare students for advanced studies in a wide variety of fields. 100-level courses serve as the entry courses to the major. The 200- and 300-level biology courses give students access to a broad range of biological knowledge and technical skills.

This course is for anyone with interest in the field of Microbiology. Explore the microscopic world of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

The focus of Harvey Mudd’s biology program is on preparing students for professional practice in diverse areas related to biology. Following graduation the majority of our students go on to PhD programs in the life sciences or into the workforce in technical fields. With these outcomes in mind, our curriculum is structured to provide students with the general technical and communication skills required to succeed in a broad range of scientific settings.

At Huntingdon, our goal is your success. A broad-based curriculum and small classes ensure a “Know and Are Known” atmosphere, with individual attention from faculty who will mentor you toward a career path.

This course is designed for non-science majors who are interested in environmental and ecological concepts. This course begins with a description of biotic and abiotic factors in the environment. The interactions of living organisms are studied at the level of population, community, ecosystem and global ecology. Biodiversity is then explained in relation to evolutionary and ecological concepts. Human impacts such as water and air pollution are examined in how they damage the environment. Environmental issues such as climate change, ozone depletion, agriculture, and energy use are discussed to identify ecologically-sustainable development strategies.

In the Sabancı University Molecular Biology, Genetics and Bioengineering program, modern biology problems are studied within the framework of a broad curriculum covering the fields of plant biology, bioinformatics and molecular and cell biology. In our laboratories with a modern infrastructure, our research and development projects are carried out jointly with other biology programs from home and abroad.

Students in the Biology Department gain exposure to the breadth of biological sciences and become skilled in the methods of scientific inquiry. The curriculum emphasizes the study of plants, animals, and microorganisms from the molecular to the ecosystem level. Research is integral to our teaching and learning. Biology majors work closely with professors to generate hypotheses and conduct self-designed experiments in teaching and research facilities that include a cell culture laboratory, an advanced microscopy suite, and a DNA sequencing facility.

Our Science courses are held in high regard by many universities and will equip you with the essential skills for a variety of future careers. By studying Science at A-level you will not only advance your subject knowledge but you will also improve your ability to problem solve, analyse information and reach scientific conclusions. You will also benefit from our state-of-the art laboratories and industry standard equipment. Biology means the 'study of life'. You will develop the skills necessary for aspiring scientists.

An introductory biochemistry course focusing on the chemical basis of life. This course emphasizes the biochemistry and function of proteins, DNA, carbohydrates and lipids in living systems. Other topics covered include bioenergetics, properties of enzymes, regulation of enzymatic activity, and current laboratory technology used in the recovery and analysis of DNA and proteins.

We aim to advance knowledge through exciting and innovative research in the lab and in the field. We encourage and engage students through research and learning.Biology is the study of the diversity of life, the fit between form and function and the distribution and abundance of organisms. The Biology Program will Include: Active participation in national and international scientific societies and initiatives

We aim to open students’ eyes to the myriad wonders of the natural world: from the strange creatures inhabiting the depths of the oceans and the tops of the earth’s highest mountain peaks, to the plants and pollinators right here on Macalester’s campus, to the diverse array of microbes that thrive inside each one of us, to the ways our remarkable bodies function—and what happens when things go wrong. Our faculty will help you discover how the history of evolution led to the present moment, how humans are an integral part of this framework, and what climate change might mean for the future of life on our planet.

This course examines in-depth food systems, with a specific focus on smallholder sustainable agriculture.
