Biology
It’s easy to understand the extensive
research and job opportunities
educated “biologists” have if you relate
the job description to the way biologists
classify all living things. Think: kingdom,
phylum, class, order, family, genus,
species.
Under the title “biologists” are
thousands of specialized areas that
all relate to the study of life. Biologists
spend their lives dedicated to learning
more about how life and living things
function and interact. Biologists conduct
scientific tests on everything from
microscopic organisms living 20 miles below the surface of the ocean, to entire ecosystems in
foreign countries, to the complex functions of the human body.
The Biology program at Sheridan College is designed to give students a broad background
in the sciences with an emphasis in the biological or life sciences. The goal of the program
is to provide students with knowledge in the biological sciences, chemistry,
mathematics and general education electives to prepare them to transfer as
juniors to a university in the specialty they choose. Sheridan College students
have the opportunity to do biomedical research on campus, and to take field
trips to the nearby Bighorn Mountains and Yellowstone National Park to
conduct hands-on research on living organisms in their actual environment.
