圣三一大学生物科学系. 爱德华从基因的层次来研究生物学, through cells and organ systems, to populations of living organisms.
我们提供生物学学士和学士学位, with multiple areas of focus depending on a student's desired outcome. 这些不同的学位课程为学生进入医学院做准备, dental and other schools in the health professions; graduate programs leading to doctorate or master of science degrees in related disciplines; and for entry into exciting careers such as biotechnology, ecology, neurophysiology and research. Each program allows students to study electives that are specific to their own interests.
Teaching labs throughout the curriculum focus on experimentation and students are given the opportunity to conduct independent scientific investigations. Summer research scholarships are available from faculty research grants, and presentation of findings at scientific meetings is encouraged and facilitated.
课程的进化基础
At. St. Edward’s University, all curricula in the Biological Sciences are founded upon evolutionary theory. As a subject of scientific inquiry, the theory of evolution provides opportunities for testing of hypotheses that strengthen our understanding of the processes that account for the diversity of life on earth, and existing data overwhelmingly support the theory as scientifically sound. We regard any non-scientific or teleological attempts that distract from the scientific processes that underlie science as, at best, a diversion to our mission to provide exceptional education to our students in the Biological Sciences. We stand with the numerous scientific societies that have issued statements on the subject of evolution and intelligent design, confirming the demonstrated success of the former and rejecting the scientific viability of latter.
St. Edward's University students and faculty members gave 32 presentations and students won 9 awards (25% of the awards given!)在今年3月的德州科学院年度会议上发表.
Major Requirements: 获得生物学学士学位需要学习76学时的生物学专业课程, 包括介绍性课程的组合, biology electives, 以及化学等科目的辅助课程.
General Education Requirements: The Biology degree requires 56 hours of general education courses that students complete over four years in addition to their major courses.

研究是圣塔斯大学本科生的一个重要选择. Edward’s University. Many students join a research lab on campus while others participate in research at other institutions. Involvement in one of these research labs allows students the opportunity to work alongside distinguished professionals, be a part of published research and gain real-world experience in a field specific to their interest.
Biology research projects at St. 爱德华在许多不同的领域有不同的关注点, including neuroscience, immunology, cell biology, food microbiology, developmental biology, genetics, evolution, 动物行为与植物进化生态学. 这些机会是通过特别资金和赠款实现的, 其中一些甚至是由联邦政府提供的.
具体项目,恳求使用模式生物,探索:
On-campus locations for these studies vary — from the state-of-the-art greenhouses at St. 爱德华寄给我们的野生盆地创新研究中心. Off-campus opportunities may take place at other universities or in private research labs.
Korey Nuchia (Class of 2018) won an award for presenting her research entitled, "Analysis of the Antibacterial Activity of Costa Rican and Gabonese Plant Extracts," at the 2015 UTSA College of Sciences Research Conference on October 9, 2015. Dr. Patricia Baynham是Korey的研究顾问. Congratulations Korey and Dr. Baynham!
