生物学

生物学是对生命的研究, from the smallest of single cell organisms to the rich complexity of the human being. 生命是如何开始和进化的? How do organisms adapt to the environment and interact with one another? These are the questions biologists explore in classrooms, research laboratories and in the natural world.

“My ultimate goal is to work in the research field as a medical scientist.”

——Benyapa Khowpinitchai

关于生物专业

In 博天堂官方入口登陆登录’s biology program, you’ll explore and come to understand the most basic, 紧迫的生活问题, 使用科学家的工具. Through research and hands-on work which begin in your first year, you’ll study the living world—from small, 单细胞生物, 对人类, to elephants (you may end up conducting your own research study at the Milwaukee County Zoo).

You’ll gain the knowledge you’ll need to work in a research lab or for graduate school, which will allow you to pursue a career in health sciences. And you’ll have the opportunity to conduct real science. Using the scientific method, you’ll plan and conduct experiments and learn to interpret the results. 你将获得解决问题的能力, time management and critical thinking skills and be prepared for a wide range of career and post-graduate educational options. We also provide strong support for students focused on a particular career, 帮助你塑造自己的教育. And the major pairs easily with numerous other disciplines at Carroll, meaning you can obtain a double major and still graduate in four years.

Our program has had excellent success obtaining grant funding for student research, and many students go on to present their research at regional or national meetings of professional organizations. You’ll have opportunities to work with state-of-the art research and analytical equipment at our campus facilities. And you may even get your feet wet in the marsh and springs of the off-campus Prairie Springs Environmental Education Center. You’ll benefit from and work alongside professional faculty who routinely engage in their own research projects.

成为一名科学教师

主修生物和 中等教育 readies you for a career teaching biology at the middle and high school level. Pairing this major with a 中等教育 major will expand your teaching horizons as you complete the requirements for a science license.

你将学习微生物学, learning about the structure and function of living things at the molecular level, as well as genetics and cellular biology. 下一个, you'll move on to study comparative vertebrate zoology, where you’ll explore the evolution and diversity of structure and function in vertebrate systems.

最后, your coursework will examine organismal physiology and the biological adaptations plants and animals undergo to cope with their environments. You can also select from additional courses such as human physiology, 细胞生物学, aquatic biology or conversation biology.

重点/副修

Jack Champaigne ’80 met Diane (Schueler) Champaigne ’80 when both welcomed new students while serving as Carroll orientation mentors. Their friendship grew in the months that followed, leading to a chilled night in February when they spent time shooting photos and then moved inside the basement of Main Hall for warmth. 在那里,他向她求婚. 那天是情人节.
