A biology education strengthened by its setting.
Prepare for life by studying it at the cellular level.
With great teaching from devoted mentors and many opportunities to hone your skills in laboratory or field settings, we’ll get you ready for a range of careers—from biotechnology to forensics to ecology. 我们的130,000-square-foot science center supports a variety of learning, re搜索 and collaboration spaces.
If you want to do biology re搜索 at Berry, you (absolutely) can—whether partnering with professors, pursuing your own projects, co-authoring papers or presenting at industry conferences. You might also intern with a re搜索 institute or science-based government agency.
生物学 重点领域
Available starting FALL 2021
Designed for students who want more flexibility in creating a unique curricular plan beyond traditional preparations for graduate or professional degrees.
野生动物, 生态, and Conservation (WEC) emphasis is designed for students who desire a curriculum that focuses on animals/plants and environmental interactions.
The CB emphasis is on genomic, 分子, and cellular processes that control biological function and disease.
生物学 教师
Associate Professor of 生物学 克里斯•霍尔, supported by a Laura Maddox Smith summer re搜索 grant, partnered with the Ocean Re搜索 Conservation Association (ORCA) in Fort Pierce, 佛罗里达, to initiate a collaborative effort to determine the prevalence of the zoonotic protozoan parasite 刚地弓形虫 in aquatic systems on the 十大靠谱赌博平台大学 campus and in the Indian River estuary. Berry junior LilyAnn Jenkins, under Dr. 厅的指导, spent part of the summer at the ORCA facility where she worked with re搜索 assistant Hannah Atsma (class of 2020) to collect samples for PCR analysis.
We don’t like to brag, but in this case, we must. No other biology program has such immediate access to the range of natural habitats—mountains, 河流, 流, 池塘, wetlands and forests—to be found on our (world’s largest, 更多吹牛, 对不起!) 27,000-acre campus.
生物学 课程
In this summer study abroad course, you’ll observe a variety of fascinating organisms (corals, 海胆, 刺鳐, sharks and more) on a reef off the coast of Honduras. (Students must become SCUBA-certified prior to the trip.)
Study animal behavior in an evolutionary context, including such topics as mate choice, parental care and communication. The lab portion will utilize Berry’s extensive campus for observing deer, salamanders and coyotes.
Gain new appreciation for parasites—complex organisms that manage to evade destruction by the host immune system. This interdisciplinary exploration is for anyone interested in health-related careers as well as those with a more organismal focus.
生物学 生活
艾比·怀斯曼，22岁, who is majoring in biology and minoring in animal science, gained hands-on experience in wildlife management thanks to Professor of 生物学 Chris Mowry, who connected her to a transformative re搜索 opportunity on Dewees Island, 南卡罗来纳, 去年夏天.
“The experience that our students have gained through hands-on internships has been extremely valuable for their careers,莫里说。. “例如, Jared Crain was the first intern we sent to Dewees Island, and he is now in graduate school at the University of Tennessee. Likewise, Lauren Patterson and Mattie Whitesell did similar summer internships at St. Catherines Island, Georgia, and both went on to graduate school and careers in marine conservation.”
