在这里学什么？

The undergraduate Biology program is designed to stimulate and challenge students to develop skills in concept learning, to understand the strategies of investigation, to communicate ideas, and to accept responsibilities of scientific leadership. The program integrates advising, curriculum, research, and service experiences in order to fully develop the potential of each student. Graduates of this program have a comprehensive and deep understanding of the basic laws, principles, and current theories of biology from the cellular to the ecosystem level. Students are prepared for entry into graduate or professional schools as well as for private sector positions that require a liberal arts education and leadership skills. Because the Biology program is structured to foster critical thinking, reading, and communication skills at the highest levels, students are encouraged to develop a set of personal goals and identify strategies for achieving these goals. For example, a student may set a goal of participating in undergraduate research. Actions to meet this goal include planning with a faculty mentor and other students, writing a proposal, gathering data, analysis of data, and presenting results. By encouraging students to set goals, the faculty hope to enhance the leadership quality of Biology majors.

In addition to the required courses for all Biology majors, a student may individualize their program in several ways. For example, the student may elect to participate in a Departmental Honors program as described below, or individualize a program by selecting electives in biology that would increase depth of knowledge in one or more areas in this field. Many Biology majors participate in research with Truman faculty. Conducting research while an undergraduate reinforces goals of the capstone experience of our Senior Seminar (BIOL 545).

In addition to classes offered at Truman, there are several cooperative programs affiliated with biology. Truman is affiliated with the Reis Biological Station located near Steelville, Missouri. The site is available for study of Ozark habitats. Summer classes are offered with credit that can be transferred to Truman. Biology majors at Truman may be eligible to participate in the University of Missouri Columbia School of Medicine Bryant Scholars Pre-admission Program. Students are annually selected from Truman to interview for early acceptance to the medical school. Qualified sophomores may apply for early acceptance to the A.T. Still University (ATSU) through the Pre-Osteopathic Scholars Program. Interested students should discuss these opportunities with their advisors. Finally, some courses completed at medical, veterinary, and other professional schools may be credited toward a bachelor’s degree in biology at Truman. For example, we have formalized articulation agreements with Logan University and the Cleveland Chiropractic College.
