Biology

"The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them."

Sir William Lawrence Bragg, Australian Physicist (1890-1971)

Why Biology?

The Biology degree at Colorado Christian University provides a foundation for professional or graduate study in science, education, medicine and other health-related fields. In addition to natural science studies, the program includes a broad cultural background in the arts, humanities and social sciences (advised by the American Medical Association) and offers the undergraduate preparation necessary in many states for medical or dental school. (Contact your dental or medical school for specific prerequisites.) A Christian perspective on bioethics, evolution and ecology adds an important dimension to the biology degree.

Graduates with a biology major will have a solid broad-based background in the biological sciences, learning to apply scientific methods, use the instruments and techniques of biological research, comprehend essential facts and principles of biology and communicate clearly using scientific notation and terminology. Biology students at CCU also learn how to articulate and defend a Christian perspective on ethical and controversial issues in science while recognizing the importance of these skills in Christian service.
