Chair: Lisa Zuccarelli, O.P., Ph.D. Consistent with the Mission of the University, the Department of Biology and Biomedical Sciences provides students with the scientific knowledge and the ethical understanding to stand as responsible stewards of God’s creation. The courses in Biology and Biomedical Sciences, for both majors and non-majors, develop the skills necessary for critical and creative thinking, thoughtful and careful analysis, and sound judgment. Such skills will be fostered through the use of classroom discussions and debates, texts and appropriate readings from the primary scientific literature, interactive computer programs and other technologies. In addition, courses with a laboratory component aim to provide students with a hands-on approach to the exploration of the scientific method. These important skills are needed to advance one’s scientific knowledge and, moreover, are critical in preparing our students for the challenge of exciting careers in the biological sciences. Transfer students may apply a maximum of four biology courses to a Biology major and two courses to a Biology minor. The transferred courses must be evaluated by the Biology faculty before they are accepted for fulfilling biology major or minor requirements. Majors in biology are expected to maintain a 2.25 grade point average in Biology courses.
