Choosing a biology major or minor gives a whole new meaning to preparing yourself for “real life.” Students may also take advantage of the programs offered by the unique Women in Science and Mathematics Program, including lectures, special study, and research opportunities.
Biology is the study of life. This broad definition encompasses many different independent disciplines from the study of cells and molecular biology to the study of communities and evolutionary biology. We provide our students with a solid foundation of all the fundamental fields in biology producing well-rounded scientists grounded in the liberal arts. We believe that doing science is vital to learning and to loving science. Most of our courses have accompanying laboratories with onsite faculty right there with the students using up-to-date equipment in state-of-the-art laboratories. Our students are well prepared to take this knowledge gained in the classroom to their internships where they gain real world experience. When our students graduate we expect them to have excellent quantitative skills, writing and communication skills, and skills in scientific methodology, critical thinking, and analysis which prepares them well for continuing on with their education in graduate or professional schools or for entering the workforce.
The study of biological sciences will enable you to better understand the living world of which you are a part and secure a scientific knowledge of the fundamental facts and concepts concerning living organisms, including bacteria, viruses, protists, fungi, plants, and animals.
You will join a diverse group of biology students, hailing from places as far away as Nepal and as close by as Mocksville, NC. Some students join the Biology Department because they want to be doctors. Others join because they’re passionate about environmental science and evolution. Still others become involved because they’re interested in medical technology. Whatever reason you have for joining the department, you will share with your peers a set of academic goals: to engage in scientific research, to work closely with faculty who share your passion for science, and to make a difference in their world, wherever you live. It’s this kind of drive and enthusiasm for science that we invite you to experience at Salem.
The diverse interests of the biology faculty provide you with a rigorous, well-rounded program of biological sciences. The high caliber of the Biology Program courses means that you are likely to join other Salem students in performing well above average on the standardized Biology Major Field Test and earning exceptionally positive reviews from the off-campus supervisors of your internships.
You will be encouraged to engage in scholarly activities outside of the classroom. Our Alpha Beta chapter of Beta Beta Beta, the biological honor society, promotes and rewards excellence among our undergraduates. Top-performing biology students have consistently been active participants of the Lehman Scholars program. Faculty and students work together to arrange professional January Term and summer internships in which you will experience first-hand a job or research opportunity of interest to you. Although Salem College requires only one professional internship for completion of a bachelor’s degree, you may choose, as do many biology students, to take part in multiple internships during your time here. When you graduate, you will have excellent quantitative skills, writing and communication skills, and skills in scientific methodology, critical thinking, and analysis, all of which will prepare you well for continuing on with your education in graduate or professional schools or for entering the workforce.
