About

Overview The science of biology plays a central role in important issues like global climate change, stem cell research and ecological restoration, as well as global health issues such as avian influenza, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. The Biology major at Transylvania University graduates actively engage these issues, both as researchers in the laboratory and as medical personnel on the front lines.In our small lab sessions, you’ll sharpen your investigative skills by undertaking independent research. You’ll gain first-hand knowledge of subjects through field trips to destinations such as Kentucky’s Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest. May term travel courses have enabled students to study invertebrates in Florida, tropical ecology in Belize and Hawaii, native plants and animals in the forests of eastern Kentucky and public health issues in the Philippines.Transylvania students have a variety of opportunities to conduct research, both independently and with professors. Research projects may receive funding from the university or from outside organizations such as the National Institutes of Health. Current faculty research interests include evolution and behavioral ecology of cannibalism, physiological and other correlates of avian personality and ecology of non-native plant invasions.Possible Career OptionsEnvironmental protection agentMedical doctorResearch scientistTeacher I want to find another Bachelor Course
