What You’ll Study
我们相信，最优秀的生物学家遵循的研究计划，提供了生命科学以及化学、物理和数学的所有领域的广泛的基本理解。这种方法强化了学生的知识、技能和思维习惯，这些都是生物训练出来的大脑的特征。Your program will begin with core courses, followed by courses in three areas:
- Cellular and Subcellular Biology
- Botany
- Zoology
因为我们要求所有专业的学生在每个领域至少学习一门课程，你将会获得全面的知识，并转化为专业或研究生院的环境。对环境研究感兴趣的学生可以同时接受环境研究培训。
Dynamic Landscapes as Labs
You’ll test your theories and think creatively in the best lab on earth — the farm, forest, river, greenhouses, and garden right here on Warren Wilson’s 1,100 acre campus. Unfettered access to plants and animals provides rich opportunities for independent research. You’ll join the ranks of hundreds of alumni who’ve conducted research projects with real-world implications, and then join them along your own successful path.
Your Next Step
Many of our biology students go on to pursue graduate education or training. The close relationships you’ll develop with faculty give you a leg up when you’re applying to graduate school or a job. And you’ll be supported by our Career Services team, recognized in the 2019 Princeton Review as having one of the top Career Services in the country.
I didn’t have any classes or labs taught by teaching assistants and the class size was small enough that I got regular practice and feedback on my writing and public speaking. My experience with undergraduate research played a huge role in the professional path I took after college. The work program is also highly valuable in that I learned to manage my time and work hard for a full day each day – juggling classes and work crew time.
