The Biology major introduces students to the
fundamental concepts, principles, and procedures characteristic
of several major conceptual approaches to organisms.
The major provides a solid foundation in biology and
also permits students to specialize in any of the major
branches of biology.
The biology major is
useful for students whose career plans lie in such fields
as: pure or applied biology; agriculture; biochemistry;
biotechnology; botany; conservation, environmental quality,
and natural resources; dentistry; ecology; food science
and nutrition; forestry; genetics; horticulture; human
medicine; limnology, marine biology and biological oceanography;
microbiology; natural history and nature study; pharmacy;
plant pathology; public health; teaching of biology;
toxicology; veterinary medicine; wildlife management;
and zoology. Students considering admission to medical,
dental, or veterinary schools should meet with the prehealth
adviser, Dr. John Maiello in Hill Hall, Room 306, 973/353-5705.
In the sophomore year,
each student wishing to be a biology major should complete
a "Declaration of Major" in the biology department
office. A member of the biological sciences faculty
will be assigned at that time to serve as a permanent
academic counselor; consultation should occur with this
person on a regular basis. Additional information on
biology majors is available in the departmental office.
A certificate program
in biotechnology is offered in collaboration with the
Department of Chemistry.
