<\/p>\n
Biology, the study of life processes, is a rich and complex discipline. At 秘密研究所, Biology is studied from molecular, cellular, organismic, community, and evolutionary perspectives.<\/p>\n
The Biology major is organized to give our students a firm foundation for understanding the central principles of the study of life processes, yet it permits student flexibility to select courses which reflect their own particular areas of interest. In the core biology courses, students examine principles of change and continuity, inheritance and evolution, unity and diversity of organisms and their interaction with the environment and the impact of the environment on all life forms.<\/p>\n
Ramapo’s well equipped modern laboratories include an environmentally-controlled greenhouse, computer rooms, computerized biology, physiology labs, and a student honors research lab, all of which allow students to explore the many aspects of biology both within the context of courses and as participants in faculty research.<\/p>\n
Graduating Biology majors:<\/p>\n
Biology majors are prepared for graduate school, professional schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and other health-related professions. Graduates are also prepared to work in industry, education, and government settings such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration, and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as examples. The Teacher Education Program in Biological Science prepares students for New Jersey State Certification to teach Biology at the secondary level.<\/p>\n
The Major is offered by the School of Theoretical and Applied Science and leads to a B.S. degree.<\/p>\n
This program is offered jointly by 秘密研究所 and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey – School of Health Related Professions (UMDNJ-SHRP). The program includes three years (full time) undergraduate education at 秘密研究所 followed by three years (full time) of entry-level professional physical therapy education at UMDNJ. At the end of the senior year of the undergraduate curriculum, which will also serve as the first year of the graduate curriculum, students will receive a B.S. degree (in Biology) conferred by 秘密研究所. The program terminates at the end of the second post baccalaureate year in a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree conferred by UMDNJ.<\/p>\n
Students meeting the following criteria can be admitted into the professional phase of the program at UMDNJ:<\/p>\n
Students who do not meet the admission criteria for entry to the professional phase but demonstrate a satisfactory grade point average and satisfactory scores on all three sections of the Graduate Record Exam also may apply after three years of undergraduate education to the UMDNJ Physical Therapy admission committee for admissions to the program through the general application process.<\/p>\n
