What You’ll Learn

Throughout your biology program, 您将开发广泛的内容知识, 学习正确的实验室技术, 极大地提高你的批判性思维, problem-solving, and communication skills, as well as:

  • 使用基本和先进的实验室设备
  • 使用相关的计算机应用程序和信息技术
  • Design and conduct a scientific experiment to reach a logical conclusion
  • Learn and work collaboratively
  • Prepare and present scientific results to general audiences as well as to fellow scientists
  • 促进科学服务于更大的社会
  • 拥有一个真正的研究项目的所有权
  • 获得发表论文并为科学界做出贡献的机会
  • 使用定期的里程碑来衡量你的进步
  • 对科学进步作出有意义的贡献

At Dominican University, you’ll pursue and publish new scientific knowledge through inquiry-based instruction and original research, gaining valuable transferable skills in both your biology major (or minor) courses and through your research experiences. As a result, our biology degree will ensure you’re well-qualified to pursue a wide range of careers and post-graduate fields of study.

Our programs are incredibly hands-on and will give you significant real-world skills that will set you apart from your competition. For example, we’ve set aside a plot of land on our campus for students to study. If you take courses in chemistry, ecology, botany, or general biology you’ll get to analyze the soil and conduct biological surveys of the plants, microbes, and other soil fauna. 然后你要用堆肥和/或商业肥料来改良土壤, collaborate with your fellow students to choose and transplant plants into the soil, conduct follow-up testing, and analyze the changes that result from your soil treatments and addition of plants. This project will give you valuable technical skills across a range of disciplines as well as help you build the vital collaboration (including cross-disciplinary collaboration) and communication skills that are so in demand in all industries.

作为多明尼加大学生物专业的学生, 你也将被支持和鼓励去从事研究实习. 我们的学生获得了著名的研究实习机会:

  • 爱因斯坦医学院
  • 拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球天文台 
  • Johns Hopkins University
  • New York University
  • The Jackson Lab
