华盛顿大学 1. 生物学专业 理学学士，还有一个艺术的学士没有写/students/gencat/academic/biol.htmlBachelor of ScienceSuggested First- and Second-Year Courses:Students should concentrate on general chemistry and mathematics the first year, biology and organic chemistry the second year (see major requirements for specific courses). Transfer students: complete an entire sequence at one school if possible. It is not necessary, or even desirable, to complete the Areas of Knowledge requirement during the first two years.Department Admission RequirementsApplication to the BA and BS degree programs is competitive. Applications, accepted quarterly, are due the second Friday of autumn, winter, spring, and summer quarters, by 11:59 p.m. Applications received by the system after the quarterly deadline are considered for the subsequent quarter.Minimum requirements for consideration:1. Matriculated student in good academic standing at UW Seattle.2. Minimum 2.0 grade in each ofBIOL 180,BIOL 200, andBIOL 2203. Minimum 2.50 cumulative GPA for any supporting chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology courses (or other courses that may apply to major requirements) completed at time of application.4. Personal statement: May include description of interest in biology, career goals, undergraduate research interests, degree interest (BA or BS), and any other information applicant believes is useful in evaluating the application.Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Other factors include overall academic record and difficulty of other courses completed; time to degree set by UW Satisfactory Progress Policy, including frequency of incompletes or withdrawal grades and number of repeated courses; relevant work and life experience; and record of honors.Major Requirements90 credits as follows for all options:1. A one-year sequence of introductory biology for majors (BIOL 180,BIOL 200,BIOL 220)2. Three to six quarters of chemistry, covering general and organic chemistry:CHEM 120,CHEM 220, andCHEM 221; orCHEM 142,CHEM 152,CHEM 223, andCHEM 224; orCHEM 142,CHEM 152,CHEM 162* andCHEM 237,CHEM 238, andCHEM 2393. One of the following two-quarter sequences of mathematics (calculus/statistics):a. MATH 124andMATH 125b. Q SCI 291andQ SCI 292c. eitherBIOST 310,Q SCI 381, orSTAT 311;Q SCI 482d. one approved calculus class and one approved statistics class; see adviser for approved lists.e. Two quarters of physics:PHYS 114andPHYS 115, orPHYS 121andPHYS 122f. Genetics: eitherGENOME 361,GENOME 371, orBIOL 340/FISH 340.g. Natural history/biodiversity: one course selected from approved list (3 credits)h. Option Requirement:300- and 400-level courses selected from lists specific to each option. See department website for additional information. (34 credits)*CHEM 162is not required for this degree; however,CHEM 237,CHEM 238, andCHEM 239are required by many professional programs and graduate schools, and that sequence does requireCHEM 162.4. Additional Degree Requirements:a. Minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA for all UW courses applied toward major requirements, including required supporting courses (chemistry, physics, mathematics), introductory biology, and upper-division coursework. (A grade of 2.0 is not required in individual courses.)b. Minimum 15 credits of 400-level biology electives taken at the UW.c. Two 300- or 400-level laboratory coursesBecause of the differing specific requirements and choices for each option, it is extremely important for students to work closely with the Biology departmental advisers to insure completion of these 22-25 credits.Continuation PolicyAll students must make satisfactory academic progress in the major. Failure to do so results in probation, which can lead to dismissal from the major. For the complete continuation policy, contact the departmental adviser or refer to the department website.MinorPaleobiologyAlong with the Departments ofAnthropologyandEarth and Space Sciences, the Department of Biology offers a minor in paleobiology. For more information on the minor, see its entryelsewherein the General Catalog.Student Outcomes and Opportunities Learning Objectives and Expected Outcomes:The department graduates between 350 and 400 students each year. Biology degrees are applicable to many different fields, depending upon student interests. Students in the program gain analytical and laboratory skills that prepare them for entry-level positions in a variety of biologically related areas, including, but not limited to, biotechnology, laboratory and/or field research support, health science support, wildlife biology, and ecology and conservation work with a variety of agencies, consulting firms, and research organizations in the Northwest. Students may enter graduate programs that focus on some aspect of biological science (such as genetics, microbiology, immunology, ecology, environmental health, or cell and molecular biology), or enter a variety of professional programs, such as veterinary medicine, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, laboratory medicine, and nursing. Instructional and Research Facilities:The Department of Biology occupies 128,000 square feet in Hitchcock, Johnson, and Kincaid Halls. Extensive research laboratories, teaching laboratories, computer workstations, and support services are found throughout the department.Specialized facilities include more than 16,000 square feet of greenhouse, seawater facilities, growth rooms, electron microscopes, and other specialized equipment. Undergraduates have access to most of these facilities, especially those engaged in undergraduate research.Off campus, the internationally recognized Marine Research Station, Friday Harbor Laboratories, provides many opportunities for undergraduates, from courses to research apprenticeships. Honors Options Available:With College Honors (Completion of Honors Core Curriculum and Departmental Honors); With Honors (Completion of Departmental Honors requirements in the major). See adviser for requirements. Research, Internships, and Service Learning:Biology faculty welcome undergraduates into their research programs, often working closely with them. Approximately 40 percent of the 900 undergraduate biology majors finish with undergraduate research experience.UW proximity to such Seattle area organizations as the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Swedish Hospital, numerous biotech companies, NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Research Center, the Seattle Aquarium, and the Woodland Park Zoo, as well as the close ties of Biology faculty to Friday Harbor Laboratories and the faculty in the College of the Environment provide opportunities for biology majors to develop internships within these organizations. See adviser for ways to get credit for such experiences. Department Scholarships:Several scholarships are available, in a few cases to biology majors only. Most of these support students wishing to pursue an undergraduate research experience. They are competitive, sometimes highly so. They include:o Howard Hughes Undergraduate Research Internship:approximately 20 per year for freshmen and 20 per year for juniors and seniors.o FridayHarborLaboratory (FHL) Apprenticeships:$3,000 for one quarter, spring or autumn.o Mary Gates Scholarships:very competitive, across all science disciplines.o Herschel and Caryl Roman Scholarship:$2,500-$5,000 annually to one or two students who have an interest in genetics research.o Porath/Johnson Endowed Scholarship:one-year, $5,000 scholarship to an outstanding biology major.For qualifications, deadlines, and other details, see adviser or consult the Department of Biology website.
