Bachelor of Science, Major in Biology (STEM)

Program Overview

The Biology Major integrates practical skills (laboratory and field work) and theoretical education into courses that investigate the diversity and biology of plants, animals, and microbes. This Major is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills to succeed in careers in the biological sciences, including those in the field of health. It is also a strong foundation for those wishing to go on to teach biology. The curriculum focuses on the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organ systems in living organisms, the evolutionary relationships among all organisms, and on the interactions between living systems and the environment. In research partnerships with our faculty, SNHU students participate in original research projects that utilize cutting edge technologies, as well as traditional field based studies. The hands-on teaching environment and small classroom size at SNHU allows students to investigate their own interests, and to find support for high-quality undergraduate research projects that further develop their proficiency in biology. Our goal is to foster awareness, appreciation, and understanding of biology as a diverse and dynamic field, and to prepare students to enter career paths or graduate programs that utilize their skills and knowledge.

Program Outcomes

  • Apply principles and concepts from the broad range of biological sciences, including cell biology, genetics, evolution and ecology.
  • Design and conduct independent laboratory or field research that is consistent with the standards and practices of research in the biological sciences.
  • Collect, evaluate, interpret, and communicate data and information according to the standards of practice in the biological sciences.
  • Apply fundamental mathematical tools (statistics, calculus) and physical principles (physics, chemistry) to the analysis of relevant biological situations.
  • Assess the ethical dimensions inherent in biological research, especially as it pertains to biotechnology and health science.
