Geneva College offers a biology program with three specific concentrations — cell and molecular biology, human biology, and environmental biology — plus preparation for careers in biology education, medicine, nursing, cardiovascular technology, dentistry, occupational therapy, physical therapy, medical technology, veterinary medicine, physician’s assistantship and biomedical research. Coursework The curriculum for a biology major includes an introduction to the three main areas of biology — environmental, cellular and organismic — plus opportunities to study in-depth the area of your interest, including courses at the cutting edge of biology, such as neuroscience, virology, molecular biology and advanced genetics (genomics). Supporting courses in chemistry, physics and statistics are also required for a biology major. Mission The Biology Department of Geneva College serves students interested in biology careers as well as non-biology majors who need a science core course or who are interested in learning more about the natural world. We also provide educational foundations for future teachers, physicians, researchers, physical therapists, naturalists, etc., and for scientifically-literate citizens. Ultimately, we have a responsibility to God, the Creator, to use our knowledge of the natural world to be better stewards of His entire creation, and to teach others to use that knowledge. We serve our students by offering coursework, research opportunities, training programs and career counseling. We also teach, by word and example, a Biblical perspective on the natural world, proclaiming the lordship of Christ over what He has made. Our goal is that our students would grow in their understanding of living things -- their structures, functions, regulation and interrelatedness. We also desire that they come to value the natural world as God’s creation, which He rules by His providence and over which He has mandated us to be caretakers. We aim to help our students gain skill in experimental design and interpretation, in communication, in using scientific literature, and in relating Biblical principles of ethics to medical and environmental problems. Finally, we want them to apply their knowledge, values and skills, with excellence, toward their specific callings as servant-leaders in God’s world. |
