From our campus location on 萨拉索塔 Bay to our subtropical climate to our outstanding biology facilities and faculty, you will find opportunities to work beside renowned professors who will immerse you in rigorous studies while giving you the opportunity to conduct advanced research as an undergraduate.
关于 the 生物学 Area of Concentration
A concentration in 生物学 begins with course work in a two-semester sequence (Foundations of 生物学 1 and 2), which may be taken in any order. A well-rounded biologist will build on basic concepts with study in three core levels of organization: molecular/cellular biology, organismal biology, and ecology/evolution. Course offerings supplemented by tutorials allow students to accomplish this in seven contracts. Additional coursework in the other Natural Science disciplines is also required.
Two additional 生物学 elective courses will ensure students are well-rounded biologists and receive training in multiple areas to assist their thesis research and future goals. In the current curriculum, molecular and cellular courses include Genetics, Developmental 生物学, Microbiology, Neurobiology, and Cellular 生物学. Organismal biology is represented by course offerings, including Organismic 生物学, 植物学, 昆虫学, Fish 生物学, Invertebrate 动物学, Plant Physiology, and the 生物学 of Sharks, 溜冰鞋, 和鳐鱼. Ecology/evolution is represented by course offerings including Ecology, Forest Ecology, 生物学 of Urbanization, Evolution and Animal Behavior.
“I chose to attend New College because it will prepare me for the challenges of medical school and the practice of medicine and medical research itself.”

Florida Natural History
Natural history is a domain of inquiry involving organisms in their natural environment. We will study the principles of natural history, including the general ecology, 栖息地, vegetation types, 野生动物, historical geology, and conservation issues of Florida. We will use group and individual project-based learning to discover the natural environments of Florida. Field trips to Florida ecosystems will exemplify the principles of natural history.
