Departments and ProgramsBiologyDr. Ann Powell, ChairHall Memorial Building, Room E-300Biology is an ever evolving branch of science that dealswith life. The study of biology provides students with opportunitiesto develop and understand the evolution of organismsas well as their structure, functions, processes, and interactionswith their environments. Because science is a processand not a set of facts to be memorized, the aim of this courseof study is to give students an understanding of those processes.The knowledge of biology includes: scientific data,concepts, hypotheses, theories, methodologies, use of instrumentsand conceptual themes.The knowledge base in the biological sciences has risenexponentially with each decade. Within the discipline, theprogram for students majoring in biology at <strong>Gallaudet</strong> iscurrently designed to offer students a firm foundation to enteradvanced study in the biological sciences, or to enter medicalschool, or to provide them with the skills and knowledgebase to enter the world of work.A number of flourishing career opportunities suggests areasto consider as a double major or minor in addition to themajor in biology, such as: biology and art, biology and computerscience, biology and business, and biology and history.A student handbook is available for all majors that explainsthe potential careers that can result from these combinations.Majors OfferedBiology with a B.A. DegreeBiology with a B.S. DegreeMinor OfferedBiologyRequirements for a Major in Biology with a B.A.DegreeStudents must complete Principles of Biology for ScienceMajors I and II (BIO 107-108), with Principles of BiologyLaboratory for Science Majors I and II (BIO 109-110), andENG 102 or the equivalent with a grade of “C” or better beforedeclaring a major in biology.As an introduction to the field of biology, entering majorsmust successfully complete foundation courses in Genetics(BIO 211), Microbiology (BIO 221), Invertebrate Zoology(BIO 231), and Ecology (BIO 241). These four courses areprerequisites for the elective courses offered by the department.Majors must complete a minimum of 16 credits ofelective courses from within the department.Required pre-major courses8 hours*To be taken during freshman year:BIO 107 Principles of Biology for Science Majors I(3)BIO 108 Principles of Biology for Science Majors II(3)BIO 109 Principles of Biology Laboratory forScience Majors I (1)BIO 110 Principles of Biology Laboratory for ScienceMajors II (1)*Eight hours count toward the general studies requirements.Required biology coursesBIO 211 Genetics (4)BIO 221 Microbiology (4)BIO 231 Invertebrate Zoology (4)BIO 241 Ecology (4)16 hoursElective biology courses16 hoursBIO 331 Vertebrate Zoology (4)BIO 332 Botany (4)BIO 333 Human Anatomy & Physiology I (4)BIO 334 Human Anatomy & Physiology II (4)BIO 341 Field Biology (4)BIO 401 Research Methods in Biology I (3)BIO 402 Research Methods in Biology II (4)BIO 411 Human Genetics (3)BIO 421 Cell Biology (4)BIO 422 Molecular Biology (4)BIO 431 Developmental Biology (4)BIO 432 Vertebrate Histology (4)BIO 433 Animal Physiology (4)BIO 441 Marine Biology (4)BIO 495 Special Topics (1-4)BIO 499 Independent Study (1-3)Required related courses8 hoursCHE 107 General Chemistry I (3)**CHE 108 General Chemistry II (3) **CHE 109 General Chemistry Laboratory I (1)**CHE 110 General Chemistry Laboratory II (1) **MAT 130 Precalculus (4)**Four hours count toward the general studies requirement.Recommended concentrations of studyStudents are free to choose from whichever electivesare offered.

Departments and ProgramsRequirements for a Major in Biology with a B.S.DegreeThe Bachelor of Science degree in biology is designedfor students who want a more intensive background in thesciences. It is especially tailored for students who aspire forgraduate studies in biology or a related field, or who wishto enter medical, dental, or veterinary school. The Bachelorof Science degree in biology differs from the Bachelor ofArts degree in biology in that it requires additional coursesin general physics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, researchmethods in biology, and calculus.Required pre-major courses8 hoursTo be taken during freshman year:BIO 107 Principles of Biology for Science Majors I(3)BIO 108 Principles of Biology for Science Majors II (3)BIO 109 Principles of Biology Laboratory for ScienceMajors I (1)BIO 110 Principles of Biology Laboratory for ScienceMajors II (1)Required biology courses19 hours*BIO 211 Genetics (4)BIO 221 Microbiology (4)BIO 231 Invertebrate Zoology (4)BIO 241 Ecology (4)BIO 401 Research Methods in Biology (3)**Three hours count toward the general studies requirement for studentspursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.Elective biology courses16 hoursBIO 331 Vertebrate Zoology (4)BIO 332 Botany (4)BIO 333 Human Anatomy & Physiology I (4)BIO 334 Human Anatomy & Physiology II (4)BIO 402 Research Methods in Biology II (4)BIO 411 Human Genetics (3)BIO 421 Cell Biology (4)BIO 422 Molecular Biology (4)BIO 431 Developmental Biology (4)BIO 432 Vertebrate Histology (4)BIO 433 Animal Physiology (4)BIO 441 Marine Biology (4)BIO 495 Special Topics (1-4)BIO 499 Independent Study (1-3)Required related courses32 hours*CHE 107 General Chemistry I (3)*CHE 108 General Chemistry II (3)*CHE 109 General Chemistry Laboratory I (1)*CHE 110 General Chemistry Laboratory II (1)*CHE 211 Organic Chemistry I (4)CHE 212 Organic Chemistry II (4)CHE 325 Biochemistry: Proteins and DNA (3)CHE 327 Biochemistry Laboratory I (1)PHY 151 Physics I (3)*PHY 152 Physics II (3)PHY 153 Physics I Laboratory (1)*PHY 154 Physics II Laboratory (1)MAT 150 Calculus I (4)**Sixteen hours count toward the general studies requirement.for studentspursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.Summary of requirementsGeneral studies courses for a Bachelor of Sciencedegree in Biology53-59 hoursPre-major coursesMajor and related courses8 hours48 hoursFree elective courses9-15 hoursTotal124 hoursRequirements for a Minor in BiologyStudents must complete Principles of Biology for ScienceMajors I and II (BIO 107, 108) with Principles of BiologyLaboratory for Science Majors I and II (BIO 109,110), andENG 102 or the equivalent with a grade of C or better beforedeclaring a minor in biology.Students who plan to minor in biology are required to takeone foundation course (see the list under required biologycourses for a major in biology) that is a prerequisite for anybiology elective courses (see the list under elective biologycourses for a major in biology) they plan to take in their areaof interest.Required pre-minor courses8 hours*BIO 107 Principles of Biology for Science Majors I (3)BIO 108 Principles of Biology for Science Majors II (3)BIO 109 Principles of Biology Laboratory for ScienceMajors I (1)BIO 110 Principles of Biology Laboratory for ScienceMajors II (1)*Eight hours count towards the general studies requirementsRequired biology courses15 to 18 hoursFour biology courses of the 200 level or above arerequired of which at least one must be a foundation course(BIO 211, 221, 231, 241).Total15 to 18 hoursCourses OfferedBIO 101 Introduction to Biology I (3)This introductory-level course covers a broad overviewof the field of biology.
