The study of biology encompasses all of the life sciences and endeavors
to enhance your understanding and appreciation of living things. Students
with training in the biological sciences will be among those who will contribute
much toward solving critical problems facing the world today, such as food
shortage, disease, and environmental use. You may design your program of
study with the help of an adviser to best meet your particular interests
and needs. The Department also has an affiliation agreement with the State
Laboratory of Hygiene, UW-Madison, which enables students to complete clinical
education in cytotechnology as an emphasis in the Biology major (contact
department for details).
PIGEON LAKE FIELD STATION. The University of Wisconsin System sponsors
summer programs at the Pigeon Lake Field Station near Drummond in Bayfield
county of northwestern Wisconsin. Station offerings include undergraduate
and graduate courses in field biology and in mapping and outdoor education.
Sessions may vary from two to six weeks in length with a variety of biology
courses offered on a rotating basis. Credit earned at the Station is accepted
as residence credit at this University. The Field Station is located in
a natural outdoor laboratory among the lakes, streams and forests of relatively
unspoiled portions of northern Wisconsin. Students are housed in rustic
cabins and get their meals in the Station dining hall. PLFS facilities
also include three classroom buildings and a recreation hall on land including
1400 feet of shoreline on Pigeon Lake. With access to Lake Superior and
the Apostle Islands, the national forest, and adjacent wildlife areas--the
Station is ideally located for field studies as well as for recreation.
The several programs offered each summer are publicized by special announcements
early in the year. For further details contact the Department of Biological
Sciences.
MAJORS/EMPHASES
The student may elect one of seven emphases in the Biological Sciences
major:
BIOLOGY - GENERAL (BA/BS)
The General Biology emphasis is designed for biology education majors
and for select others who need an extremely broad range of experiences
in the biological sciences.
