Location, mission, & overview of the curriculum …… J. Peter Gergen (Director, Undergraduate Biology) UNDERGRADUATE BIOLOGY at STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY

UNDERGRADUATE BIOLOGY FACILITIES - LOCATION Located in Center for Molecular Medicine/ Biology Learning Laboratories (a.k.a. CMM/BLL) The UG BIO Facility (BLL) contains: Teaching Labs BIO Learning Ctr (BLC) Administrative Offices: o Advising (G-04) o Registration (G-05) o Course Admin (G-05) Preparatory Facilities Executive Offices

Provide support and coordinate efforts of the Departments of: Biochemistry and Cell Biology Ecology and Evolution Neurobiology and Behavior in offering the Biology and Biochemistry majors at Stony Brook University. UNDERGRADUATE BIOLOGY MISSION

BIOLOGY PROGRAM - Overview As of 4/28/2011 there were 2,111 eligible and registered Majors and Minors in Biology There are 7 different tracks of the Biology Major  General Biology  Developmental Genetics  Neuroscience  Ecology & Evolution  Environmental Biology  BIO Major/BNG Minor  BIO/CLS Double Major  AND a Biology Minor The most popular of these tracks are:  General Biology (70-75%)  Developmental Genetics  Neuroscience

Biology (the beginning) at Stony Brook Required courses in other areas: SBU builds on a foundation in math and chemistry) Calculus (2 semesters) General Chemistry (2 semesters, with lab) Organic Chemistry (2 semesters, with lab) Physics (2 semesters, with lab) Statistics (1 semester) Introductory Biology Lecture Courses (not a sequence!) : BIO201: Organisms to ecosystems BIO202: Molecular & cellular biology BIO203: Cellular and organ physiology Introductory Biology Laboratory Courses (a sequence!) : BIO204 & 205: Fundamentals of scientific inquiry in the Biological Sciences The first couple of years of the Biology Major basically cover the PRE-MED Requirements

BIOLOGY MAJOR The Upper Division Level  Five Upper Division Biology Lectures  Two Upper Division Biology Labs It is at the UPPER DIVISION Level the BIOLOGY TRACKS differ

Advanced Track in Developmental Genetics Prerequisite course from the core curriculum = Fundamentals of Molecular & Cellular Biology (BIO202) Advanced lecture courses = General Genetics (BIO320) Animal Development (BIO325) Either Cell Biology (BIO310), or Cancer Biology (BIO314), or Evolution (BIO354), or Molecular Development of the Nervous System (BIO339) + 2 courses outside of track (can use optional courses listed above) Advanced laboratory courses = Developmental Genetics Laboratory (BIO327) Offered in spring semesters - aim for junior year! + 1 advanced lab outside track, e.g. Techniques in Molecular & Cellular Biology (BIO311)

Developmental Genetics Track: (Pre-requisites and the plan of attack) BIO202, a prerequisite for all courses in the Developmental Genetics track, is offered every semester. Animal Development (BIO325), which is offered in the fall, is a prerequisite for the laboratory course in Developmental Genetics. General Genetics (BIO320), which is offered in the spring should be taken either before, or concurrent with the Developmental Genetics laboratory. BIO202 first (& ASAP), BIO325 in the fall, BIO320 and BIO327, the Developmental Genetics Laboratory the following spring!!!!

and that’s all folks………………. ANY QUESTIONS? For more info see:
