BACKGROUND NOTE
Instruction in the
biological sciences began at South Dakota State University in 1885. The
first student to graduate in that area did so in 1888. In 1897, when
departments were first established on campus, biology was not included.
Courses were taught in a number of related fields however through a
number of departments including zoology, botany and entomology, to name
a few. An independent Department of Biology was not established until
1980, although the Department of Botany and Biology had existed since
1966.
Today, the Biology and
Microbiology Department offers curricula leading to the Bachelor's
degree with a major in biology. The undergraduate biology major has two
different programs from which to choose: the curriculum in Biological
Sciences, College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences, or the
curriculum in Arts and Science. The two programs are identical except
for the individual college's requirements. Students majoring in biology
will select among four areas of emphasis depending upon their particular
interest and needs: 1) The Biology emphasis prepares a students to work
in a large variety of areas of the biological sciences; 2) The Botany
emphasis concentrates on the scientific study of plants providing for
professions in plant research and industry; 3) the Zoology emphasis
highlights the scientific study of animal life and provides the basis
for many related disciplines such as medicine and health sciences,
veterinary science, and oceanography; and 4) the Pre-professional
emphasis is designed for students planning on admission into
professional, health science programs.
