Program Learning Goals. Upon completion of the program: students will be able to:
1: Communicate effectively as a biologist. Students will demonstrate written (general and discipline-specific) and oral communication skills and the ability to communicate via figures and tables.
2: Demonstrate Content Knowledge. Students will demonstrate that they have acquired knowledge and understanding of subject matter introduced in the foundational courses and built upon in subsequent courses relevant to their intended career field or field of graduate study. Major-specific subject matter is delineated as follows: genetics, other subject matter specific to their field and preprofessional track [e.g., pathophysiology, cell biology]
3: Demonstrate Critical Thinking. Students will demonstrate that they have acquired the analytical skills that will allow them to derive thoughtful solutions to biological problems. Students will demonstrate their abilities to design experiments, obtain meaningful data, and interpret those data appropriately to arrive at meaningful conclusions.
4: Articulate an interaction of Christian beliefs and biology. Students will be able to articulate their current worldview integrating Christian theology with biology.
