Program Learning Outcomes Students will effectively identify, and explain, fundamental principles of life processes at different levels of structural organization. Students will grow in their ability to carry out scientific investigation of living systems. Students will be able to present the findings and implications of scientific research through written research reports, oral presentations and scientific posters. Students will be able to identify and describe a wide range of controversies, positions, and approaches to and theological implications of biological theory. Where are the Learning Outcomes met?
