Bachelor of Science in Biology

Biology is the study of life and living organisms — their structure & organization, development, evolution, distribution and interactions. The major offers a modern, balanced, and comprehensive treatment of biology, emphasizing critical analysis of information and integration among its sub-disciplines. At NAU, all students take foundations courses that address fundamental biological concepts: cellular & molecular processes, genetics & inheritance, and ecological and evolutionary theory. Then, students complete the major by selecting the courses in biology that best serve their individual interests. Upper-division biology courses hone into areas of physiology, evolution, ecological systems, genetics or cell theory. Our graduates attain the high-level scientific inquiry skills and have practiced the research methods needed to compete in graduate and professional schools and to succeed in the workplace.
Student Learning Outcomes

  • Identify, describe, and apply the major concepts, theoretical perspectives, and empirical findings in biology using the fundamental principles of the natural sciences including:
    • The basic molecular and cellular units of structure that define all living things.
    • The limits and processes of biological systems as they operate through chemical transformations and energy flow in biological systems.
    • The theory of evolution and how the diversity of life has evolved and is evolving via four population genetic mechanisms (mutation, migration, selection, drift).
    • The molecular, genetic, and environmental bases of variation and how the phenotype of an organism is controlled by its genotype and environment.
    • The fundamental principles of biological science operating at molecular, cellular, organismal, population and ecosystem levels (e.g., central dogma, inheritance, energy flow, diversity of life).  
  • Apply scientific and quantitative reasoning in data interpretation and analysis of biological data by:
    • Applying the scientific method, inquiry, and discovery to the study of living systems.
    • Apply methods for collecting, statistically analyzing, and interpreting scientific data with application to problems in biology.
    • Applying quantitative reasoning (e.g. arithmetic algebraic methods or statistical analyses) to biology and related natural sciences  
    • Applying and interpreting basic statistical methods and graphically presenting scientific data to communicate scientific findings.
  • Effectively communicate evidence-based findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
    • Interpret primary scientific literature in biological sciences.
    • Find and evaluate primary sources, the quality of information, and determine a source’s credibility.
    • Synthesize empirical findings in biology, and communicate the findings through collaboration, writing, and oral presentation.
  • Synthesize fundamental concepts, apply core knowledge, and conduct civil discourse in Biology as it relates to organisms, habitats, ecosystems, or human health questions.
    • Apply depth of biological knowledge through application of core concepts to new contexts or problems in conservation, climate change, natural resource management, forestry, agriculture, or human/animal health. 
    • Apply biological principles and demonstrate the ability to interpret data in evaluating the strength of evidence and conclusions. 
    • Apply the unifying concept of evolution to explain patterns and processes in biological systems.
