学士-生物医学科学

Biomedical Science aims to use the vast and ever-progressing fields of biology to improve human health and the treatment of disease. It encompasses the general fields of human anatomy, physiology, genetics, cell biology, and molecular biology, as well as more specialized disciplines such as neuroscience, immunology, histology, developmental biology and pathophysiology, among others. A degree in Biomedical Science helps to prepare students for several careers within healthcare, as well as a solid foundation for other post-baccalaureate work. These include preparation for medical school, dental school, and a wide variety of other graduate school options. In addition, students who are not interested in pursuing a graduate degree could work for medical labs, research labs, hospitals, biotech companies, and pharmaceutical companies following graduation with a BS in Biomedical Science.

学习成果

  • Apply the process of science through the use of hypothesis testing in the design and completion of scientific experiments.
  • 批判性地评价科学信息。
  • Quantitatively analyze scientific data through graph interpretation, statistical analysis, and problem solving.
  • 以书面和口头形式有效地沟通科学信息
  • Explain fundamental biological concepts in cell biology, anatomy, and physiology, including how they relate to human health and disease.

学士-生物科技

Biotechnology harnesses the power of the natural world to develop solutions to improve our lives, our health, and the health of our planet. A B.S. in Biotechnology at UVU is an incredibly versatile degree which emphasizes hands on experiments and internships, ultimately providing a large number of potential career options. Many students with a degree in Biotechnology find employment at local companies such as ARUP, BioMerieux, Myriad Genetics, and Nelson Laboratories. With additional education, majors can go on to careers in law, medicine, agriculture, entrepreneurship, regulatory affairs, non-profit work, or research.

The biotechnology major emphasizes laboratory experiences in addition to a theoretical science background. As a major you will learn skills such as recombinant DNA technology, gene cloning, bioinformatic DNA sequence analysis, protein expression and purification, bacterial and mammalian cell culture, and experimental design.

A unique feature of the major is the internship, during which students conduct research at either a local biotech company, or under the mentorship of a professor at UVU。 其中许多项目都是由学生设计和领导的,根据他们的兴趣量身定制。 The Biotech Program also runs a contract research organization, InnovaBio , where students work as interns for local companies through contract work. Altogether, students gain over 600 hours of lab training and skills on their way to receiving a B.S. in Biotechnology.
