生物学
生物学 majors take a set of core courses designed to expose them to the major theories and disciplines of biology, including foundations of 生物学, 遗传学, 微生物学, 生态 and Cell and Molecular 生物学. 资本 believes strongly that transformative learning also takes place beyond the traditional borders of the classroom, 实验室甚至校园. 在任何环境下, faculty embraces high-impact practices, like undergraduate research, internships and capstone projects, to achieve the very best in teaching and learning. Central to the study of the Biological Sciences is the pursuit of research. While all 资本 students are not required to do research, you'll be given the opportunity to pursue various research options and encouraged to take advantage of research opportunities.

Both laboratory and field-based research opportunities exist for biology majors, ranging from animal reproduction to wildflower populations to synthesis of new drugs for human disease. 资本’s partnerships with The Metro Parks, Center of Science and Industry (COSI), The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and the Primmer Outdoor Learning Center takes students from textbook to field experience. Short-term field courses outside of the U.S. also give students opportunities to experience new cultures and give valuable service. 资本 has sponsored study experiences in:
- 墨西哥(珊瑚礁生物学)
- Costa Rica (Tropical 生态)
- Cuba (Environmental Issues)
Eight laboratories in the Battelle Hall of Science are used for 生物学 teaching and research. 除了, several small lab facilities, an animal care facility and a two-story greenhouse are available to be used for faculty and student research. All labs are equipped with computers as well as equipment and models specific to the courses and projects that take place in that room. A state-of-the-art Molecular 生物学 laboratory allows students to grow living cells under controlled conditions, while the Molecular 生物学 lab has equipment to perform DNA fingerprint analysis. Two cadavers are used in the anatomy lab, and the botany lab opens directly into the second story of the greenhouse.
威尼斯人平台’s Primmer Outdoor Learning Center in the Hocking Hills region is a 74-acre property with seven ecosystems, including a 15-acre wetland, a secondary growth deciduous woodlot with groundwater seeps which feed into small streams, and restored prairie habitats. This center is used by students and faculty for research and service projects focused on ecological restoration, 生物保护, and environmental sustainability.
