课程
作为一名生物专业的学生, you will take introductory and intermediate core courses that explore the wide expanse of biology. You can then pursue advanced, elective courses according to your interests, from an emphasis on the cellular/molecular side of biology, to a focus on organismal biology, to the sphere of ecology and environmental issues. One of the distinctives of the 生物系 is that our faculty integrate their 研究 into the courses they teach. This allows many more students to gain valuable experience with actual 研究.
Student Research Opportunities
Doing 研究 is one of the best ways to learn science, develop critical thinking and analytical skills, and mature as a clear-thinking person who can solve problems. Such skills are essential in most professions. You can participate in internships and/or original 研究 projects at SPU, at 布莱克岛 Field Station, at various 西雅图 area laboratories, 或者在工业中. You’ll have opportunities to present your work at scientific meetings and to publish with faculty in scientific journals.
