Successful completion of a senior laboratory or literature project is required for the B.A. in biology. The project will be submitted in the form of a paper which must demonstrate a clear understanding of scientific literature and ability to analyze data and present results in a coherent manner.

The paper must be organized and written in scientific style. A short oral presentation is also required in which each student is expected to present the focus of the paper and field questions on the subject matter within the paper. The department uses data from the outcomes assessment for curriculum development.

B.S. Degree in Clinical Laboratory Science

Caldwell College and the University of Medicine and Dentistry-School of Health Related Professions (UMDNJ-SHRP) jointly offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Clinical Laboratory Science (B.S. in CLS) with concentrations in cytotechnology, toxicology, and Medical Technology. Typically, students complete the requirements for a Medical Technology major at Caldwell College and then enter the 15 month professional program at UMDNJ-SHRP to complete the desired concentration. Students must meet the academic requirements of both institutions to be awarded the B.S. in CLS.

The Allied-Health Professions

The biology major equips graduates to pursue post-graduate education and training in the allied-health professions such as medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, osteopathic medicine, physician assistant, veterinary medicine and podiatry. Admission to schools in the health related professions may be expedited through specific affiliation agreements maintained by Caldwell College.

Professional School Affiliation

The College and Sciences Department have entered into formal affiliations with professional schools, especially those in the allied health fields. Students are afforded the option of combining the senior undergraduate year and the first year of professional education to eliminate one year from the educational sequence, or, students may avail themselves of preferential consideration in the standard professional school admissions process. All Caldwell College students who satisfy the College's and Professional school's requirements may take advantage of these options.

Research Experience

Research is an integral part of the natural and physical sciences programs. Research may be carried on by both the faculty and students.
