The Program<br />
Students completing this program will have<br />
demonstrated:<br />
understanding of the process of formulating<br />
alternate, testable hypotheses, to<br />
employ the methods of science to gather<br />
and interpret data in testing those hypotheses,<br />
and to distinguish scientific reasoning<br />
from other types of thought<br />
literacy in the language of science, which<br />
includes the use of mathematical equations,<br />
quantitative data, analytical procedures, and<br />
the representation of data in graphs, tables,<br />
diagrams, and in written expression<br />
understanding of the mechanisms that<br />
all life forms possess to extract, transform,<br />
and use energy from their environment in<br />
ways that allow for their maintenance,<br />
growth, and reproduction<br />
awareness of the interconnectedness of<br />
life on earth and that all biological processes<br />
occur with both a genealogical (evolutionary)<br />
and organizational (molecules, cells, organisms,<br />
populations, communities, ecosystems,<br />
and the biosphere) framework<br />
understanding that descent with modification<br />
has shaped all biological processes<br />
and that biological evolution offers the only<br />
logical scientific explanation for the simultaneous<br />
unity and diversity of life on earth.<br />
<strong>Humboldt</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> has the largest<br />
greenhouse of all the state cam puses, containing<br />
an extensive collection of plants from<br />
around the world. Stu dents also find a large<br />
collec tion of pressed plants in the herbarium.<br />
Several plant growth chambers allow students<br />
to control grow ing condi tions of plants.<br />
Native plants in near by wilder ness areas<br />
also provide excellent op por tu nity for study.<br />
Our botany graduates do well in these careers:<br />
herbarium curator, naturalist, plant<br />
physiologist, technical writer, plant ecologist,<br />
environmental consul tant, botanist, horticulturist,<br />
science librarian, plant pathologist.<br />
Preparation<br />
In high school take biology, chem is try, and<br />
phys ics (with labs, if pos si ble), alge bra<br />
(begin ning, inter me di ate), geometry, and<br />
trig onome try.<br />
REQUIREMENTS<br />
Students who receive a grade below a<br />
C- in any prerequisite course will require<br />
instructor approval for enrollment.<br />
