Division of Biological Sciences
The Division of Biological Sciences offers undergraduate and graduate programs representing the full range of the biological sciences. The Division offers bachelor degrees in biology (with a broad array of formal options including botanical sciences, cellular and molecular biology, ecology, 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 students in pre-medical and other pre-health sciences, and offers a series of courses during the summer at the University's Flathead Lake Biological Station (see separate listing in this section). The Division is one of the leading research units in the University. Research programs in the Division provide abundant opportunities for students to enhance their educational experience by participating in research. Several sources of funding are available to support undergraduate student research, and the Division sponsors an undergraduate research symposium each spring. 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. The Division participates in the graduate (M.S. and Ph.D.) program in wildlife biology, administered by the School of Forestry. Information on graduate study and program requirements is available from the Graduate School or the Division of Biological Sciences. The Division of Biological Sciences is committed to providing coursework and experiences for non-science majors. The world faces many problems and opportunities that include significant biological components. Courses for non-science majors have the goal of fostering understanding of the process of science and enhancing biological knowledge as it relates to environmental, medical, social, and other issues. A number of introductory courses are open both to majors and non-majors. In addition, the Division offers courses designed specifically for non-majors: genetic engineering, trailside botany, elementary microbiology/ medical microbiology, Montana wildlife, and others. Degree requirements and courses are described below (see the School of Forestry for information about wildlife biology). Faculty Professors Fred W.
