Overview

Student-generated investigations are built into the structure of courses throughout the Biology curriculum from College of Wooster beginning in the Gateway courses and continuing through Independent Study.

Key Facts

Students collaborate and communicate with peers and faculty as they progress through their courses and Independent Study. These opportunities develop students’ oral and written communication skills as well as their capacity for self-education and problem-solving. These abilities, combined with a liberal arts education, are essential for remaining competitive in the rapidly developing life sciences.

Through its curriculum, the Biology Department seeks to develop students who:

comprehend foundational and unifying biological principles and their implications;

retain the knowledge essential to a broad understanding of Biology;

are familiar with scientific methods of inquiry and the philosophy of science, including methodologies for distilling biological information;

are able to design and conduct an independent scientific investigation;

can use scientific information to make reasoned decisions and critically evaluate the work of others;

are able to communicate scientific information effectively;

show evidence that they understand how knowledge changes; and

are motivated to think, study and learn independently.
