学生s interested in a career in biology or a related field are encouraged to earn at least a baccalaureate degree (BS). Many professions (e.g. pharmacy, medicine) require additional post-baccalaureate education. The Bachelor of Science in 生物学 Degree may be used for entry into a career or in preparation for post-baccalaureate (for masters and doctoral degrees) or professional (e.g. medical, dental) education.

The UVU 生物学 program offers a variety of courses that investigate the living world, including courses in biology, botany, ecology, genetics, human anatomy, human physiology, conservation biology, microbiology, zoology and others. A course of study may be designed to provide breadth in the life sciences or to prepare students for a specific area of biology.

关于UVU生物教育学士学位

Graduates with a bachelor´s degree in 生物学 Education will be qualified to obtain state licensure to teach at the secondary level, and the degree fulfills the requirements for the Biological Science Composite Major endorsement. If the student completes additional chemistry and earth science courses, then the student may also qualify for other teaching endorsements in the sciences.

Current employment opportunities for graduates from 生物学 Education programs are strong, particularly for those who also have a chemistry endorsement or integrated science endorsement in addition to the biological science composite endorsement.

The following information is from “Supply and Demand Needs of K-12 Education in the State of Utah 2005-2006” published by the Utah System of Higher Education:

1. Teacher demand in Utah is critically outstripping the supply of new teachers being provided by Utah colleges and universities.
2. About half of all attrition in 2005-2006 was due to retirement reflecting the relatively large number of educators becoming eligible for retirement in Utah. Data suggest this will continue for the next decade.
3. If attrition and growth continue at current rates (which they are likely to do) without a parallel increase in newly trained educators (which isn´t currently in the works), Utah will face a severe teacher shortage crisis unlike anything it has ever experienced within just a year or two.
4. Because Utah´s colleges of education aren´t producing sufficient numbers of new educators, Utah school districts are relying more heavily upon former teachers, retirees, out-of-state recruiting, and to a lesser extent alternative certification programs to meet their unmet teacher needs. 前教师和退休人员的供应受到限制； and, anecdotally, districts are reporting that this is having the effect of significantly reducing their substitute reserves. If this were a water study, the conclusion would be that the water table is shrinking and that underground water is drying up quickly.
5. Utah school districts are especially facing severe difficulty in finding and hiring teachers in specific areas of special education (severely handicapped and mild/moderate), math, science, and early childhood education (K-3). With increased math and science requirements being introduced into Utah´s secondary schools, the demand for math and science teachers will grow even more rapidly
6. Although more stable with regards to long-term retention, the ranks of Utah´s non-teaching professional educators showed a significant turnover with 8.4% leaving in 2005-2006. Nearly two-thirds were attributable to retirement which again reflects the aging population of Utah´s educators.

• 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.

SLCC转移

学生s who are transferring from SLCC with an A.S. degree in biotechnology will need to fulfill additional lower division requirements at SLCC if they do not wish to travel to the Orem campus. Only classes that are 3000 and 4000 level will be taught on the West Jordan campus of SLCC. That means students will need to complete the following courses at SLCC before they attend UVU if they do not wish to travel to the Orem campus:

• 生物技术学位指南中列出的所有生物技术课程。
• 所有的化学，除了生物化学和它的实验室
• 所有你的物理（2010、2015、2020、2025）
• 数学2040
• 微生物学2060
• 美国的机构
• Diversity course (check the transfer articulation to be sure that you will receive G credit to fulfill the Global Intercultural requirement)
• 任何其他通识教育和生物技术课程，以完成学士学位

Basically, any courses that are 1000 or 2000 level on the course sequence should be taken at SLCC if the student does not desire to travel to the UVU main campus in Orem for courses.

学生s in UVU’s microbiology program will examine the roles and interactions of microbial populations in aquatic, terrestrial, human, animal, and plant systems. While microorganisms are most known for their ability to cause disease, they are ubiquitous on earth and central to many of the essential life processes on this planet. 学生s in this program will examine the field of microbiology as a major contributor to human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Studying microbiology will prepare students to go to medical, dental, veterinary, or graduate school, and also provides them a highly employable career option in healthcare, industry, or government agencies. 学生s in this program are highly encouraged to participate in undergraduate research with faculty mentors. The UVU microbiology program provides research opportunities in diverse microbial fields including environmental microbiology, bacterial pathogenesis, mycology, plant virology, and microbiome research. Many of our students will be able to present or publish on their work before graduation.

Many opportunities exist for advanced and professional degrees for those completing the Bachelor Degree in Integrated Studies (IS) program (law school, medical and dental schools, MBA, MPA, etc) and in the business environment. Many employers seek students with skills gained from liberal arts programs like Integrated Studies. These skills include the ability to comprehend diverse material, to write clearly, to think critically, to work cooperatively, and to become adept at problem solving.

The individualized nature of the Integrated Studies degree is attractive to students with multiple interests who want to develop skills that are relevant to a variety of careers. 学生s integrate course work in emphases such as science, business, health, literature, languages, communication, philosophy, behavioral science, social science and the arts. Emphases from computer science and information systems, accounting, technology and trades and physical education are also offered as part of this degree. Following are the key knowledge, skill, and ability goals for students who complete an Emphasis in Earth Science as part of their Integrated Studies degree.
