CURRICULUM PLAN COLLEGE OF SCIENCE 2019-2020 MY ADVISOR’S NAME IS: FOUR YEAR PLAN COLLEGE OF SCIENCE 2019-2020 MY ADVISOR’S NAME IS: BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE CELL, MOLECULAR AND MEDICAL CELL, MOLECULAR AND MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS The Department of Biological Sciences is committed to teaching students about the science of life from molecular to global scales. A degree in Biological Sciences prepares students for careers and graduate study in diverse felds such as human and veterinary medicine, dentistry, biomedical and pharmaceutical research, The Core Curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking skills and introduce students to basic domains of thinking that transcend CORE CURRICULUM environmental consulting, wildlife ecology, and K12 or higher education. Students completing the Area of Emphasis in Cell, Molecular and Medical Biology will be disciplines. The Core applies to all majors. Information on specific classes in the Core can be found at marshall.edu/gened. prepared for a wide range of careers in felds including biotechnology, cell biology, medicine and/or medical research.
