Curriculum
The core of the biological sciences curriculum
is designed to provide
basic education in biology that prepares students for graduate
research and professional schools including medical, pharmacy and veterinary
schools. The recently renovated course sequence has been created to encourage one on one faculty - student interaction
and to take advantage of research and educational opportunities
provided by Tech's combination of state-of-the-art research facilities and mountain location near national parks and wildlife management areas.
As new discoveries are made and new industries emerge at the intersection of scientific disciplines, it is necessary to provide students with the skills and knowledge required to enter and succeed in these new arenas. With this in mind, the Department of Biological Sciences at Montana Tech has worked diligently to design two new emphasis tracks that, while unique in their advanced coursework, share a common foundation of biological and general science.

cellular & molecular track
The Cellular and Molecular Track within the Biological Sciences degree plan allows students to dig deeper into the cellular and molecular basis of life. From Genetics and Immunology to Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the curriculum in this track provides those interested in health professions and/or research in the microbiological or biomedical arenas with a solid foundation upon which to build.

organismal track
The Organismal Track covers applied and theoretical aspects of plant, animal and microbial ecology and biodiversity and is designed to take advantage of our geographic setting, providing extraordinary opportunities for field-based education and research.
