生物学

亚洲博彩平台排名 University's student-centered bachelor's degree explores the diversity of modern biology through dynamic classroom instruction, 实用实验室实验, exciting research opportunities and field study in Aquidneck Island’s living laboratory.

追求个人兴趣

Innovative laboratory courses are the focal point of our curriculum. 亚洲博彩平台排名's facilities provide endless opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience using state-of-the-art instrumentation. Students also consider the moral and ethical consequences of advances in the sciences, 培养批判性思维所需的技能, 深思熟虑的分析和合理的判断.

教室外, we encourage students to pursue their individual interests in the sciences through research projects and independent study. 与教师导师密切合作, 学生们接受尖端方法的训练, allowing them to conduct graduate-level research that is often published or presented at conferences.

而我们的许多学生进入研究生课程, 包括医疗, 牙科和兽医学校, 其他人则在教育领域获得成功, 研究和保健. Students may also choose to double major in biology and 中等教育, which prepares them to apply for Rhode Island teacher certification for grades 7-12.

亚洲博彩平台排名's partnership with the University of Saint Joseph provides a pathway for biology majors to earn their 药学博士 六年内. Additionally, our 4+1 dual-degree option offers an option for students who are completing their B.S. 在生物学上追求一个 B.S. 医学化验科学 完成生物学课程后.

节目焦点:体验式学习

 Most of the undergraduate students here are doing work that I would consider on par with what graduate students do in most institutions. They really get to work one-on-one with faculty members. 他们最终具有相同的独立能力, 相同的故障排除技巧, 同样的科学沟通技巧. By treating them effectively like they are graduate students, 我们真的把他们带到了那个层次.

 Salve provided excellent support and was the perfect place to grow intellectually and personally to handle the rigors of a professional career. I never felt like an exam was a make-or-break situation, 这更像是一个展示我们所知的机会, 这使得在学习时更容易学习. The foundations of biology are apparent every day now that I am working in a hospital.

校友焦点:里安农·莫里西16岁

她刚来索尔维·雷吉娜的时候, 里安农·莫里西16岁, who majored in biology with minors in chemistry and history, had no idea just how much the University would influence her future career path. 现在,她正在攻读博士学位.D. 在德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心, Morrissey still attributes everything she's gained since from her time at 亚洲博彩平台排名.

 One of the things that made Salve so special for me was the fact that you have more opportunities than you would at larger institutions to be involved in your research. 当我读到博士学位的时候.D. 项目), 我有一些同事上的是更大的学校, and their research was following around a graduate student and helping with their project. But at Salve, I was an undergraduate driving my own research.
