Overview

You will have consistent lab experience as each biology class has an attached laboratory section. Past labs have included, a first-year General Biology course where students fertilized sea urchin eggs to watch cell development and studying the physiological changes in fish heart beats under varying conditions. These labs will allow you to use standard research equipment to work on biological problems. Some of this equipment includes a genetic analyzer for sequencing DNA, fluorescent microscopes and imaging systems, and various equipment for DNA/RNA extraction.

What will I learn?

Through Houghton College’s major in Biology, you will develop valuable professional skills as you:

Grow as a scientist through the focus on doing science each day. Whether you are working in labs or assisting with research, you will have constant hands-on experience opportunities. The Shannon Summer Research Institute will allow you to grow in a deeper understanding of the subject that you are researching in a more collaborative environment than a classroom setting.
Develop personal relationships with faculty. With a departmental emphasis on personalized teaching and close relationships among faculty and students, you will have many opportunities to get to know your professors on a personal level.
Travel with biology faculty to participate through real world experience programs. Past opportunities include, Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies, Creation Care Study Program (Belize; NZ), Ecology of Alaska, Ornithology (Mayterm), and the Shannon Summer Research Institute.
