A qualified student wishing to participate in the senior thesis program must notify the appropriate department (either biological sciences or chemistry, depending on the student’s research interests and curriculum emphasis) no later than the end of the fall semester of the junior year. A thesis committee, consisting of one or more faculty members from each department, will be formed to consider the thesis proposal, which must be submitted during the spring semester of the junior year. After the approval of the senior thesis committee and the appropriate department head, based on both the proposal and the student’s academic record, the student will be permitted to register for Senior Thesis in Biochemistry (BCM 4991 and BCM 4992) during the senior year. These courses and Research Sources and Systems (COM 2012), represent seven credit hours of restricted electives toward meeting the degree requirements listed above. Senior Thesis in Biochemistry students are encouraged to include at least one year of foreign language (French or German) in their degree programs. Biological Sciences _________________________ The Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences seeks to educate students in unifying themes in biology, while encouraging them to expand their knowledge in more specialized subject areas. The department offers six undergraduate program options in which a student may specialize: aquaculture, ecology, general biology, marine biology, molecular biology and preprofessional biology. The curriculum is organized so that in the first two years students learn concepts fundamental to all biological sciences, and in the last two years students follow their own interests in selecting courses that are more specialized. Aquaculture Option: Studies the theory and practice of finfish and shellfish culture. Following a core curriculum of basic science and mathematics, students take specialized courses in culture techniques of salt and freshwater algae, crustaceans, finfish and molluscs. Ecology Option: Provides a well-rounded background in applied and theoretical ecology. Emphasis is placed on student-led experimental design and implementation, with ample opportunity for fieldwork. Ecology majors are required to take part in summer field courses, choosing between programs in Africa, Australia, the Bahamas, Costa Rica, Peru or the United States. Graduates are fully prepared for ecology-related employment or graduate studies in ecology. 120 Florida Tech General Biology Option: Offers the greatest flexibility to satisfy a student’s specific interests. Marine Biology Option: Includes specialized courses in marine biology and oceanography to provide the knowledge and skills for the study of marine life. Emphasis is on the diversity of marine organisms, their characteristics, interrelationships and interactions with the marine environment. The program prepares students for employment or graduate work on subjects from marine microbes to mammals, and from molecular marine biology to ecology. Molecular Biology Option: Provides training in DNA and protein purification, recombinant DNA technology, gene manipulation, PCR, nucleic acid hybridization, DNA sequence analysis, gene expression assays and genomics. Students completing the program are qualified for employment in the rapidly growing biotechnology industry and for entry into graduate study in a wide variety of areas encompassed by molecular biology. Preprofessional Biology (Premedical) Option: Designed for students interested in becoming physicians. It is also appropriate for students interested in veterinary medicine and allied health professions (such as physician’s assistant, physical therapy or pharmacy). The chair of this degree option serves as Florida Tech’s premedical adviser, and also organizes a premedical evaluation committee to provide evaluation letters for students applying to medical school. Students graduating from this program have had an excellent acceptance rate into medical and professional schools. Admission Requirements Students intending to apply for admission to study in the department of biological sciences should complete at least one year each of high school biology, chemistry and physics. Prospective students should also have at least three years of high school mathematics, including second-year algebra and trigonometry. Florida Tech has articulation agreements with many of the community colleges in Florida. Students contemplating transfer to Florida Tech should consult with the department to determine transferability of credits. If there is a question regarding specific courses needed, students should contact the associate department head for undergraduate studies. Degree Requirements Candidates for a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences must complete the minimum course requirements outlined in the following curriculum. Electives are selected in consultation with the faculty adviser to reflect the knowledge a student needs either for employment or graduate school.
