Biology

The Department of Biology aims to provide information of the fundamental biological concepts and techniques to enable students to understand, interpret, and appreciate the world of life.

Programs in biology are offered to provide adequate preparation for programs in medicine, dentistry, and allied health fields. Both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Degrees are offered with a major in biology to provide greater flexibility in choice of electives and to enable the students to acquire a sound background for careers in the biological disciplines or specialty they propose to follow in graduate school. The Sports Medicine minor at Newman University is intended for students who are interested in academic disciplines including physical education, pre-physical therapy, coaching, pre-chiropractic, nutrition, nursing, pre-medicine, pre-occupational therapy, pre-athletic training and entry-level graduate education.

This program will provide interested students with the academic background and the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in sports medicine. Students will get hands-on experience through internship and out-of-the-classroom opportunities such as serving as an assistant trainer for our athletic teams or working at physical therapy rehabilitation centers. This minor is designed to meet the growing interest in a program of study that integrates exercise and health sciences with the practical aspects of human performances. By completing this program students have an opportunity to acquire important knowledge as they learn about anatomy, human movement, nutrition, and sports injuries. In essence, this program is designed to provide a foundation for those students wishing to complete an advanced degree or for those students who may be interested in applying to a professional school.

Before enrolling in a course which has a prerequisite course listed, the student must have earned a grade of “C” or better in the prerequisite course. For classes having a corresponding laboratory, both the lecture and the laboratory courses must be taken concurrently unless one of the courses has already been successfully completed with a grade of “C” or better.
