Biochemistry (BC) The candidate for the Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry must complete all the general degree requirements as stated earlier in this catalog. Biochemistry Outcomes: Upon graduation, a student majoring in biochem- istry should be able to demonstrate: 1. Fundamental knowledge in biochemical, ana- lytical, organic and physical chemistry and its application, integration and appreciation (External Examination); 2.  Effective scientific communication (CH 342 and 461); 3.  Laboratory competence (CH 137 and 221); 4.  Problem solving and interpretive skills (CH 497 and 499). Assessment: The   outcomes   for   the   Biochemistry   major   are assessed   through   a   combination   of   an   external examination,  laboratory  results,  formal  laboratory reports,  term  papers,  oral  reports,  mentor  evalua- tions,  and  a  rubric  measuring  laboratory  compe- tence. Students may choose the external examina- tion   that   they   take   from:   the   Graduate   Record Examination in Chemistry, and American Chemical Society Standardized Examination, MCAT, or DAT. The following courses in the Biochemistry Major must be completed with a grade of “C” or better: CH 131, 137, 216, 217, 221, 342, 343, 344, 345, 451, 461, 497 and 499; BI 111, 112, 250, and 318; CS 110; MA 241; PH 231 and 232. Computer  competency  will  be  demonstrated  by successful completion of CS 110. Students majoring in Biochemistry are also required to   demonstrate   competency   through   a   national examination approved by the chemistry faculty. No minor is offered in Biochemistry. Biology (BI) Biology, the science of life, is one of the most fas- cinating and rewarding disciplines. Students suc- cessfully completing the Avila University Biology major   can   pursue   a   variety   of   career   options, including work in the health professions; forensic sciences; forestry; agriculture; fisheries; oceanog- raphy;  conservation;  environmental  research  and management;  medical  and  scientific  publishing; business  careers  in  health  administration,  instru- mentation, and pharmaceuticals; secondary educa- tion; or pursue special research interests as a post- graduate biologist. The candidate for the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology must complete all general degree require- ments  as  stated  earlier  in  this  catalog.  Students must complete all Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics courses applicable to degree require- ments with a minimum grade of “C.” Biology Program Outcomes 1. Biology majors will acquire a foundation of sci- entific  knowledge  that  includes  the  historical development of biological thought, cell theory, biogenesis, homeostasis, gene theory, and ecol-
