We have tried to include a lot of the information that students would find useful in both scheduling their courses, deciding on electives to take, and thinking about their Biology degrees in the context of larger academic and career goals. Since there are always ongoing changes and last-minute substitutions, we apologize in advance for any errors or mistakes that are in the booklet. Please let us know of any errors that you find, as well as any additional types of information you would like us to put in. Our goal is to make sure that every student has access to all the information they need to complete our program and help them succeed in their academic careers. Contacting Faculty Our faculty members, along with their office addresses and phone numbers, are listed on the following page. You should be sure to talk with your academic advisor on a regular basis to ensure that you are on track for completing the program with the types of electives and options that best fit your needs. If you don’t know who your academic advisor is, please stop by or call the Biology Office (McGowan Room 118, phone 773-325-7595, campus extension 57595). In addition to contacting the faculty in person or by phone, there are mailboxes in the main Biology office where you can leave them any material or written messages. The main Biology office is generally open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. If the office is closed, please do not slip anything you want delivered under the door, as the custodial staff may pick it up, throw it out, or misplace it. 2 List of Faculty Name McGowan Office McGSo 221A Extension x58005 x51891 x51161 x57595 x52188 x54649 x57464 x52190 x52191 x57462 E-mail Dr. Windsor Aguirre (Evolutionary Biology) Ms. Rima Barkauskas (Asst.

Students must maintain an overall C average (GPA of 2.0) to avoid academic probation. The experiential learning component of the Liberal Studies requirements can currently be filled in several ways. We currently have three courses specific for Biology students: BIO 302 (a course involved with learning about teaching Biology - for students interested in helping teach General Biology labs), and BIO 303 (a course involved in learning about Biological research - for students who are involved with lab-based research). In addition, there are numerous study abroad or servicebased learning courses that fulfill the requirements, as well as IDS 250 internship courses. More courses may be in development, so please keep in touch with your advisor on this issue.

Pre-Health Advising DePaul is also in the process of initiating a health sciences advising committee encompassing a number of departments to help advise and oversee students who are interested in applying to programs in any of the health care areas. If you are interested in going into a health field, you are encouraged to contact one of the members of the committee. The website for this advising project should be up shortly with more information. In the meantime, for a current list of committee members, please contact: Dr. Joanna Brooke (Chair) Room 203 McGowan North Department of Biological Sciences 773-325-1161 jbrooke@depaul.edu 7 Ecology and Evolution Concentration All of the Following Required Courses: BIO 101 General Bio I BIO 102 General Bio II BIO 103 General Bio III BIO 215 - Ecology BIO 235 - Evolution BIO 260 - Genetics One 300 Level Topics Course Three Biology Electives from the following courses: BIO 209 Plant Biology BIO 210 Microbiology BIO 250 Cell Biology BIO 270 Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy BIO 301 Animal Behavior BIO 304 Introduction to Field Studies BIO 309 Plant Physiology BIO 310 Vertebrate Physiology BIO 315 Topics in Ecology BIO 316 Phycology BIO 317 Aquatic Biology BIO 320 Microbial Ecology BIO 325 Paleobiology BIO 330 Developmental Biology BIO 333 Mycology BIO 335 Concepts in Evolution BIO 345 Topics in Paleobiology BIO 350 Animal Adaptations BIO 352 Advanced Comparative Physiology BIO 386 Introduction to Endocrinology Two Additional Biology Electives: You can choose any two of the currently approved Electives for Biology Majors. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Allied Health Technology (AHT) Curriculum Students also have the option of majoring in one of our three concentrations in our Allied Health Technologies Program (Radiation Therapy, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Clinical Laboratory Science [CLS]). Students in the CLS concentration follow the same curriculum as the standard Biology concentration, except that they must take BIO 210 and BIO 370 as two of their electives, and must take BIO 310. After receiving their degree at DePaul, students take a 1-year internship at Evanston Hospital, after which they can take the exam for CLS certification. The Nuclear Medicine Technology and Radiation Therapy programs are taught in conjunction with Northwestern Hospital, in which the students take 3 years at DePaul and 1 year at Northwestern Hospital. For information on the AHT programs please contact Dr. Rajah (on leave 09-10) or Dr. Cohn. 8 Basic Timeline for General Freshman Students (General Concentration) Autumn Quarter YEAR 1 Gen Bio 101 Gen Chem Explore/Disc.

A basic timeline for taking requirements and Biology electives for each of the concentrations is listed below (to substitute for the Biology courses in the above timeline). We are in the process of organizing some of the sections of these courses so please consult your advisor for scheduling details. Biotechnology Concentration YEAR 2 Cell Biol. YEAR 3 Mol. Biol.

Students will need to use their Elective slots in their first year for any pre-calc math requirements. If math skills are a particular problem (e.g. you are assessed to take MATH 101), students might wish to consider taking their Math pre-calc courses their freshman year, then taking General Chem and General Bio their second year (doubling up on Bio electives their senior year) once their math skills are stronger. AP credit from High School Currently, students get credit for one quarter of General Biology for a “3”, two for a “4”, and a full year for a “5” score on a Biology AP exam. Those students scoring less than 5 should consult their Biology advisor or departmental chair to determine which quarters of General Biology should receive the credit. Those students with strong backgrounds (e.g. “5” on the AP exams), may wish to start their freshman year by taking the Biology core courses if appropriate, allowing them to take additional biology electives in their senior year. Biology Minors Students wishing to be Biology minors should make sure that they have registered with the Liberal Arts & Sciences Office of their intention to be a Biology minor. Biology minors must take the General Biology sequence, plus three courses designed for Biology majors (any SI courses other than the General Biology sequence do not count toward the minor). The selection of the three courses is up to the student and their academic advisor, based on their interests and career goals. Students should feel free to contact the Departmental Chair on any questions or suggestions for courses they should take to fulfill the minor requirements. Once the requirements for the minor have been completed, the student should see their academic advisor, to confirm the completion of their minor requirements has been noted. 10 Student Groups & Research Opportunities There are several student groups that are available for students wishing to get involved with their peers in Biology and Life Science related activities. The central student organization is the Life Sciences and PreMed Club. Other groups are the Biotechnology Club, the Pre-dental Club, and the Underrepresented Groups in Medicine. Please contact the Biology office for the latest contact information for these groups. Faculty within the Biology department often have positions available for undergraduates seeking research opportunities, and the funding for such opportunities is constantly increasing (e.g. through the LAS Research Assistant and Summer Research Grants). We encourage students to contact faculty and explore the opportunity for research. It’s not only fun and educational, but it can often lead to co-authorship on abstracts, poster presentations, or manuscripts. It’s a great experience and extremely rewarding, so please think about doing some research during your time at DePaul. Transfer Students A considerable number of our Biology students have transferred in many credits from other Colleges and Universities. Many have transferred from majors other than Biology. Because the number and types of courses transferred varies considerably we strongly urge transfer students to see the departmental transfer advisor (Dr. Dean) or their academic advisors as soon as possible after they transfer in to Biology so that we can make sure you are on track to take the proper courses, and so that we can establish an appropriate timeline for graduating from the program. Despite the variations in courses that are transferred, students are encouraged to take as much as possible in sequence (i.e. core courses before electives, all required courses before electives) to avoid taking more of the earlier required courses in their last few quarters at DePaul. Students should also pay particular note of the prerequisites suggested or required for their desired Biology electives, to ensure that they take the necessary background courses prior to taking the more advanced courses. Transfer students should meet with our Transfer Student Advisor (currently Dr. Dean), and bring a complete list of the courses that have been transferred to DePaul, as well as any other transcripts or information relating to courses you think may not have transferred properly. If you think there are courses that were mis-assigned upon your transfer (e.g. Biology courses that were given credit as liberal studies courses or elective courses) be sure to bring a course description (and syllabus if possible) to your academic advisor when you meet so that the advisor can determine the proper placement of the course. The Transfer Advisor can check over your transcript and assign you, based on your career interests, to an academic advisor. Students transferring from another major, or from backgrounds with little or no science coursework, should realize that it might take longer to complete the degree than expected, due to the required sequencing of courses (e.g. General Chemistry must be taken before Organic Chemistry, General Biology must be taken before the Biology core courses). In talking with your advisor, make sure that you both understand and are comfortable with any outlined timeline for completion of the Biology program. 11 Registering as a Biology Major or Minor If you intend to graduate as a Biology major, or with a Biology minor, be sure that you are officially registered in the system. This can be done by either of the following methods: Using the online form at: http://condor.depaul.edu/~lasugrad/forms/majorform.html Via e-mail by sending your information to LASProgrmaPlan@depaul.edu Visiting the LA&S undergraduate office at 2352 N. Clifton Ave (corner of Clifton and Fullerton). If you do not have an academic advisor, please make an appointment to see the Chair of the department, Dr. Cohn, and he will assign you one.
