生物学 & Environmental Science
Colleges and Programs of Study
西维吉尼亚州 Wesleyan is proud of its reputation for the high acceptance rate of its graduates into medical, 牙科, 兽医, and science-related graduate schools. Many of our biology majors pursue careers in these areas. Wesleyan biology majors have also undertaken careers in education, 研究, environmental studies, and pharmaceutical sales.
As a biology major, you’ll learn science by doing science, in lab classes and 研究 projects. The curriculum emphasizes observation and experimentation in the field and laboratory. In addition to the biology major, we offer an environmental studies major and minors in biology, 人类生物学, and environmental studies. For students who want a greater degree of specialization, we offer two concentrations within the biology major: Molecular 生物学/Bio技术 and Environmental Science and Ecology. For academically talented students who have an interest in 研究, we offer the opportunity to earn a Special Honors designation in biology. There’s no substitute for direct, hands-on experience, which biology majors gain through a career-related internship or 研究 project carried out to meet our experiential learning requirement.
