With these objectives, the biology curriculum is broad enough to prepare the student for a wide spectrum of options upon graduation, yet allow for the development of special interests in specific areas using electives and concentrations. Thesis 1 cr. Bio 360 Bryology 4 cr. BIO 424 Ecology 3 cr. The biology program at the University of Great Falls provides each student with a comprehensive understanding of the basic knowledge, techniques, and concepts of biological sciences.
Instruction combines lab experiences with lectures, seminars, and occasional field experiences.
The emphasis in the curriculum is on a traditional approach to the study of biology through a range of general and advanced courses. Further study in biology or in the health professions is, as in the past, a choice for UGF graduates. UGF students have been highly successful in acquiring acceptance into professional programs such as medicine, medical technology, and pharmacy. Other graduates have pursued advanced study in various fields of the biological sciences. Students in biology will find faculty available not only in class but also out of class.
