Biology - Knox College

Biology from Knox College is a Campus Bachelor Biology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Biology students at Knox College examine life's vital processes in one of the country's most active undergraduate research programs. Much of the success that our biology graduates experience in graduate school, and as researchers, teachers or doctors, stems from the rich research experiences they received as undergraduates. Our broad-based curriculum prepares biology students for graduate and professional school, as well for positions at laboratories, law firms, businesses and corporations, governmental and non-governmental agencies, schools and consulting firms. The Program As a biology student at a liberal arts institution, you'll be challenged to think for yourself and to articulate your ideas clearly. You'll be encouraged to stretch your talents and your intellect; hone your ability to assimilate information quickly and analyze it rigorously; and use that information to make decisions and set priorities -- all of which are needed to be a successful biologist. Knox offers a major and minor in biology. Students begin their study with three introductory courses: Molecular Biology and Genetics; Cell Biology and Physiology; and Evolution, Ecology, and Biodiversity. These courses will take you from the molecular level of biology through the ecosystem level, introducing you to the broad scope of biology, as well as the different backgrounds and areas of expertise of the biology faculty members. Upper-level courses focus on cells and molecules, which includes cell biology, electron microscopy, molecular genetics, and microbiology; populations, which examines the structure and diversity of animals and plants, their adaptation, evolutionary relationships, behavior and ecology; and organisms, which covers cell and plant physiology and vertebrate physiology.
