Major Learning Outcomes (MLOs)

By the completion of this program, students will be able to:

  1. Implement the scientific method to generate hypotheses, execute data collection, infer results from data, and summarize their findings.
  2. Synthesize findings from published scientific literature, using appropriate citations and references.
  3. Evaluate key concepts, principles, and theories of molecular biological science.
  4. Utilize laboratory techniques and apparatus, as well as appropriate technology, to collect experimental data, manipulate biochemical molecules, culture and assay microbes, and/or perform genetic crosses.
  5. Discuss the relationship of molecular biology to other natural sciences, technology, society, global perspectives and ethics.
