| Welcome to the Biology
Department! |
| The
Biology Department is housed in the Goulet Science
Center on the campus of St. Anselm College in
Manchester, NH, and currently consists of 10 faculty and
7 staff members.
The Department administers four majors:
Biochemistry, Biology, Environmental Science, and
Natural Science. Our diverse curriculum is specifically
designed to allow students to: |
 |
| |
1) Explore the
fundamental characteristics of life from molecular to
ecosystem levels.
2) Critically evaluate biological information
through application of the scientific method.
3) Interpret biological information in the
context of modern evolutionary theory. |
| |
|
|
|
In
addition to traditional lecture sessions, students in
the department have diverse opportunities to learn
outside of the classroom.
Laboratories play an integral part in the
curriculum, and hands-on learning is emphasized in most
courses offered in the department (e.g., biochemical
experimentation, outdoor ecological studies, dissections
of representative animals). |
| |
|
| Students
are further encouraged to undertake a research project
with a faculty member of their choice during their
senior year. Projects
completed in recent years range from studies of cancer
biochemistry to the analysis of vocalization patterns in
wood turtles. Additionally,
education outside of the college is available through
internships arranged with various outside organizations
(recent examples include the Bedford Animal Hospital,
New England Medical Center, and New Hampshire State
Forensics Laboratory). |
 |
| |
|
 |
Our
ultimate goal as a department is to produce students who
are well-rounded in the sciences and who are
well-prepared to pursue careers or post-graduate study
in biology or the health sciences. |
