Bachelor of Science
Biology
站在生物研究的前沿, 准备去看医生, dental or veterinary school – all with the biology program at Tiffin University.
Tiffin University’s biology program teaches students how to read and interpret scientific research as well as develop and carry out their own research. The program also provides students with the foundational coursework needed to pursue medical-related studies after graduation including pre-medicine, 兽医预科和牙科预科.
Program Highlights
TU’s biology curriculum prepares students for the future with courses that cover biological and biochemical foundations of living systems (anatomy and physiology, developmental biology, cellular and molecular biology); chemical and physical foundations of biological systems (organic and biochemistry); psychological, social and biological foundations of behavior (animal behavior, introduction to psychology) and critical analysis and reasoning skills. These classes not only prepare students for a career in biology, but also for graduate school entrance exams like the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Dental Admission Test (DAT).
为现实世界做好准备
通过生物项目, students will learn skills in the formal practices of observation, experimentation and hypothesis testing necessary to function as a biologist in the workplace or as a candidate for an advanced degree. 他们将能够清晰地表达, verbally and in writing, knowledge of biology, 背景下的生物学方法和生物学问题. Students will develop an awareness of the impact that biology has had on society at large as well as the interactions of biology with other disciplines.
主动、体验式学习
Biology students will have access to a range of experiential learning opportunities that greatly enhance their understanding of the subject. 学生将参与实验室实验, where students will conduct practical investigations to learn techniques such as DNA analysis, 微生物培养, or dissections. These experiences not only reinforce classroom concepts but also foster critical thinking, 解决问题的能力, 熟练操作科学设备. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in field trips, 学生在哪里参观自然栖息地, ecosystems, or research centers to observe and study various organisms in their natural environments. This hands-on approach allows students to directly apply their theoretical knowledge, develop fieldwork skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of ecological interactions. Finally, internships or research placements provide biology students with real-world exposure, allowing them to work alongside professionals at research institutions, 保护组织, or governmental agencies. Such opportunities enable students to contribute to ongoing projects, 进行独立研究, and gain invaluable insights into the practical applications of biology.

Course Descriptions
BIO250 -生态和进化 – This course looks at the role of evolution in shaping the organisms alive today. This course will look at how evolution operates at the molecular, organismal, and ecological levels. It will also look at the ways the environment impacts the evolutionary trajectories of organisms. Evolutionary topics covered will include genetic and phenotypic variation, natural selection, phylogenetics, population genetics, speciation, and macroevolution. Ecological topics of climate, species interactions, and biodiversity will also be discussed.
BIO 325 – Botany-植物界概览. 植物形态学概论, physiology, genetics,reproduction, classification, evolution, and ecology. Combined lecture/lab. (本课程有一个必要的实验部分).
BIO 325L -Botany Lab – A general laboratory introduction into the plant kingdom. 这包括植物形态学, physiology, genetics, reproduction, classification, evolution, and ecology. Combined lecture/lab. (There is a corequisite lecture component to this course).
生物350 -动物行为 这门课是动物行为的比较研究, 并对其适应价值进行了分析, physiological mechanisms, development, and evolution, 在他们的生态和社会背景下. During this course students will learn how to apply scientific reasoning to understand both the evolution and mechanisms behind animal behavior with an emphasis on how evolution joins numerous 领域内的子学科.

Have a Question?
“There is always going to be a little doubt in any person’s mind when it comes to new things. But for me, I think proving people, who said I couldn’t do it, wrong is my biggest motivation. There’s really nothing that seems impossible to me anymore. The world is constantly changing and I feel like I am much more capable of adapting to those changes now compared to when I was walking on to TU’s campus for the first time.”
