This basic biological knowledge can be applied to critical problems that affect human health such as the nature of microbial communities and their relationship to the spread of disease, the conservation of native plant and animal populations and ecosystems, and the management of invasive species and natural resources.\n\nThe curriculum begins with a four-semester biology core, which provides a solid foundation for all biology majors.  In the first two semesters students take introductory Biology which introduces cellular, molecular, evolutionary, environmental, and organismal concepts, and examines relationships between development, structure and function and adaptational mechanisms. In the third and fourth semesters students take Cell Biology, which examines cellular organization and function, and Genetics, which includes an overview of molecular principles, critical to modern biology.\n\nIn the second half of their degree students continue to follow listed requirements, however there are options of choosing elective courses that are tailored to their interests.  Throughout the curriculum students develop a holistic understanding of biological principles, gain practical lab skills and have opportunities to take advantage of research experiences.  Students majoring in and graduating from general biology will be able to work in areas ranging from ecology to health related fields, and apply to graduate programs, or professional programs in areas such as medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, optometry, pharmacy, and veterinary medicine."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://catalog.pnw.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=12\u0026poid=4847\u0026returnto=1788","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}],"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=56","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=26.0101","ceterms:codedNotation":"26.0101","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Biology/Biological Sciences, General"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"A general program of biology at the introductory, basic level or a program in biology or the biological sciences that is undifferentiated as to title or content.
