生物学的概述

在波胆网站, the study of biology spans the spectrum from unlocking the secrets of the gene at the molecular level to providing the knowledge to help understand the causes and spread of diseases.

Chatham offers tracks tailored to different fields of interest. 的 cell and molecular biology concentration is appropriate for a career in research or medicine. 的 人类生物学 concentration includes all of the prerequisite courses for our Master of Physician Assistant Studies program, is well suited to careers in a variety of health professions. Students interested in the role of biology and ecosystems are encouraged to consider a major in 环境科学 在查塔姆.

多年来, we’ve found that many students change or modify their career plans as they discover new fields within science. 例如, 流行病学, 生物信息学, healthcare analytics are some careers our graduates have entered, but which they had never thought about in high school. 出于这个原因, we keep our first year or two very flexible to allow students to switch majors or tracks to pursue new interests.

Explore the 生物学 Degree:

生物学 includes the study of the structure, 函数, interactions of living organisms at multiple levels; it is a field that is evolving rapidly. This major provides students with a broad interdisciplinary base in scientific knowledge combined with an in-depth exploration of a preferred area of interest. 的 BA degree is appropriate for students who want to demonstrate their capability in biology, but also want to explore related areas like teaching.

  • Students enjoy ready access to outdoor areas for fieldwork, including the 388-acre 伊甸堂校园—the world’s first academic community built for the study of sustainability, 和它的林地, 流, 研究实验室.
  • Students have the opportunity for hands-on work in our large human cadaver lab.
  • Students can also leverage Pittsburgh’s tight-knit academic and medical community through connections our faculty has around the region.

神经科学基础

This course is designed for wide appeal. It is an introduction to structure and 函数 of the brain and spinal cord, how nerves 函数 and communicate. 的 basics of movement, sensation, language, emotion, consciousness are discussed. Emphasis is placed on contrasting normal 函数 with altered 函数 in diseases.

免疫学

This course covers fundamental principles of immunology with emphasis on molecular and cellular immunology, including antigen and antibody structure and 函数; effector mechanisms; complement; major histocompatibility complexes; and the cellular basis for the immune response.

组织学

A microscopic analysis of human and animal tissue and organ 函数 at the cellular level. Material comes from textbooks, 讲座, 图片, 和动画, in addition to practical application and identification of histological specimens. Recommended for students planning to apply to professional schools of medicine, 兽医, 或牙科.

“My mom is a Chatham alumna,” says Christina Austin ’17, “but that didn’t factor into my decision to come here. Chatham was actually one of the last schools I looked at. But when I came to visit, I saw that I could connect with people and have a close mentorship with professors in a way that I might not be able to do at a larger university.”
