Integrated Math & Science Biology
Degree: B.A
A BA in integrated mathematics and science with a concentration in biology will give students exposure to major disciplines in the field, including genetics and environmental sustainability. Students will be able to engage in research, take advantage of advanced laboratories, and focus study on at least one major discipline within biology. This degree is ideal for students in pursuit of a career in science education at the secondary level, but also prepares students for medical school, dental school, and pharmacy school.
-Foundation: Acquire knowledge in mathematics and scienses with specialization in one specific field: Mathematics , Biology, Environmental Sciences, or Chemistry.
-Preparedness: Develop knowledge and skills required for successful entry into the job market and/or further studies.
-Professional skills: Professional skills: Develop the ability to collect, organize, interpret and evaluate scientific information. Learn to use the library and scientific field interest’s specific data bases.
-Demonstrate ability to critically analyze scientific information, including experimental data in primary source material.
-Demonstrate ability to draw valid conclusions from experiments.
-Demonstrate ability to communicate clearly in writing and orally.
The Integrated Math and Science program offers degrees at the BA level. The programs of study combine a strong foundation in mathematics and sciences with further specialization in one specific field. This approach offers a depth of study in one field similar to a BS degree, while providing a well-rounded education in complementary fields in science and mathematics.
-Students should be able to effectively express themselves in written and oral form on a range of topics involving math and science;
-Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to think critically about issues in the sciences, math, and technology;
-Students should be able to locate and use information for the preparation of presentations and papers;
-Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to integrate knowledge and ideas in a coherent and meaningful manner and to communicate that knowledge and those ideas to others orally and in writing.
-Students should be able to work effectively with others on a collaborative project; assess ethical issues in the sciences and mathematics.
-Students should be able to effectively research, write report findings, and communicate them in written and oral presentations.
