Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the undergraduate program in biological science or biology will demonstrate skills relevant to:
- Display fundamental understanding of basic genetics and evolution through (a) responses on lecture quizzes and tests, (b) responses on laboratory quizzes and practical exams, or (c) written reports from laboratory exercises.
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of cell structure and function and molecular biology through (a) responses on lecture quizzes and tests, (b) responses on laboratory quizzes and practical exams, or (c) written reports from laboratory exercises.
- Demonstrate basic knowledge of comparative organismic diversity through (a) responses on lecture quizzes and tests, (b) responses on laboratory quizzes and practical exams, or (c) written reports from laboratory exercises.
- Demonstrate an understanding of basic organismal adaptations to ecological environments through (a) responses on lecture quizzes and tests, (b) responses on laboratory quizzes and practical exams, or (c) written reports from laboratory exercises. 5. Analyze and evaluate scientific data and/or current literature; this will be assessed through experimental design, problem solving, presentations, class discussions, class essays, or term papers.

Tulsa Curriculum and First Year Experience
Core Curriculum and First Year Experience
General Curriculum Some major required courses may be double counted to fulfill a quad requirement. Biological Science Major Courses
Introduction to Biological Science
Biological Science Core Courses
Biological Science Electives (40 hours)
Quad IV: Natural and Applied Sciences BIOL courses may not be used for major elective credit. Students are strongly encouraged to seek faculty guidance in selecting biology electives that best align with their goals. Supplementary Area of Concentration (16 hours)
Biology majors (BA track) are required to complete a Supplemental Area of Concentration (SAC). Those majors pursuing a pre-professional track (pre-medical, pre-dental, or pre-veterinary medicine) must have a SAC in physical sciences (including inorganic/organic chemistry and physics) since many biology elective courses presume an understanding of basic organic chemistry and most professional and graduate schools require 16 hours of chemistry, eight hours of physics, and mathematics through calculus. Biology majors not on a pre-professional track (BA track) may have a SAC in any subject; however, the physical sciences SAC is recommended. Biology majors on the B.S.B.S. track (not pre-professional) shall select a minor course of study instead of a SAC. Note:
A student must complete the biology major with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher as well as an overall grade point average of 2.0 or higher in order to graduate. |
