Division of Biological
Sciences Donald P. Christian, Associate Dean for the Biological Sciences The Division of Biological Sciences offers courses and degrees, both undergraduate and graduate, in a wide range of biological disciplines. Biological Sciences offers bachelor degrees in biology (with options in botanical sciences, cellular and molecular biology, environmental biology, human biological sciences, natural history, zoological sciences, biological education and general sciences education), medical technology, microbiology, and wildlife biology (a cooperative program administered by the School of Forestry). The Division also advises pre-medical sciences students, pre-agriculture/horticulture students, and students in paramedical arts and offers a series of courses during the summer months at the University's Biological Station on Flathead Lake. Graduate degrees offered by the Division of Biological Sciences include Master of Science degrees in biochemistry, microbiology, and organismal biology and ecology, and the Master of Science for Teachers of Biological Sciences (with thesis and nonthesis options). Doctor of Philosophy degrees in biochemistry/microbiology and organismal biology and ecology are offered, also. For general requirements for all graduate students and for information regarding graduate study in the biological sciences, contact the Graduate School or the Division of Biological Sciences. Besides offering courses for its own students, the Division of Biological Sciences is committed to offering modern, meaningful courses that are designed to meet the needs of non-science majors. In addition to offering a number of introductory, no prerequisite courses to both non-majors and majors, Biological Sciences offers courses designed especially for non-majors: genetic engineering, trailside botany, elementary microbiology, elementary medical microbiology, human genetics, human sexuality, and others. Degree requirements and course descriptions are described in the next few pages of this catalog except for the wildlife biology program listed under the School of Forestry. Faculty Professors Fred W.
