Biology - Indiana Wesleyan University

Biology from Indiana Wesleyan University is a Campus Associate Biology degree that prepares you for a Science career. The curriculum of the biology department supports the efforts of a wide range of career opportunities. In addition to providing general background for minors in biology and developing scientific competence in its own majors, the biology department provides curricula for the pre-med program and support courses for other divisional majors with science requirements. We seek to prepare students who major in biology for (1) graduate studies in biology; (2) entrance into related professional schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, etc.; and (3) entry-level positions in related fields as laboratory assistants or technicians. Related Curricula The pre-medical program curriculum and the Nursing curriculum may be found on pages 100-101 respectively. In addition to the curriculum for majors, pre-meds and pre-nursing students, the biology department provides science curriculum to prepare students in other majors like science education, careers in business or other careers that may demand a knowledge of scientific information. The biology department also offers a four-year medical technology program in cooperation with affiliated hospitals. Science education majors will complete certain courses within the biology major as one of the possible content areas leading toward teacher certification. Professionalization of this certification occurs in the education division curriculum with choice of either the single field biology major or the dual field biology/chemistry major. Other campus divisions of study will advise students into service courses that meet their needs for science training related to other career paths. Purpose The biology major will prepare students to positively affect the world around them within the context of the Judeo-Christian worldview. They will be challenged to not only gain the technical knowledge necessary to function as science professionals, but also seek wisdom to function in their chosen careers in ways that successfully integrate Christian principles with their disciplines. Faculty will seek to develop professional scientific expertise with students in one or both of two curricular tracks. View more details on Indiana Wesleyan University .
