Heavy emphasis is placed on providing students with opportunities for hands-on laboratory experiences that will enable them to qualify for good jobs in various biotechnology companies. Students would complete the three-year training program by completing a course of study leading to an Associate of Science degree in the first two years, and a laboratory-intensive course of study in the third year that would qualify them for a Biotechnician Certificate. » Grade Requirements: Cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher. » Credit Hour Requirements: Total of 62 credit hours is required - 38 of these are required within the program. An additional 30 credit hours is required for the Institutional Certificate. Advisement Students should meet with the program advisor; call Julie Baker, Department of Zoology secretary (801-626-6165) for information. General Education Refer to pages 37-39 of this catalog for Associate of Science requirements. These should include either Econ AI2740, Hist All 700, or PoISc All 100. The following courses required for the Biotechnician program will satisfy the quantitative core and the life and physical sciences portion of the general education requirements: Math QL1050, Chem PS1210, Phsx PS1010, Micro LS2054 and Botany LS1105 (12 credit hours). Students should complete the A.S. program in two years and take the laboratory intensive courses for the Institutional Certificate in their third year. 251 Course Requirements for A.S.

Bozniak Location: Science Lab, Room SL402M Telephone Contact: Carrie Minnoch 801-626-6174 Professors: Eugene G. Bozniak, Stephen L. Clark, Suzanne M. Harley; Associate Professors: Dawn M. Gatherum, Barbara A. Wachocki; Assistant Professor: Christina Trivett While plants have intrigued and delighted people for thousands of years, they still remain undervalued and too little appreciated. We somehow manage to see a faint connection between plants and our basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, and energy, but only in a rather limited way. Remote connections are made, if any at all, between the history of exploration; present-day social, economic, and political conditions; and access to plants and plant products. Interest and understanding of plants is becoming much more intense. During the last few decades we have seen an unprecedented increase in the variety of plants and plant products available in our markets as the popularity of ethnic cuisines has grown. Also, worldwide, people are becoming increasingly aware of sound nutrition and the role plants play in our general health. We now appreciate plants as reservoirs of untold numbers of pharmaceuticals important in our war on diseases. These interests are stimulating our collective concerns about understanding the past, present, and future uses of plants. Recently we have begun to address our most serious problems, viz the loss of ecosystem integrity and habitats for animals dependent upon vegetation. This we have done through increased understanding of plants. We now know how valuable plants are in maintaining the health and stability of the global environment and that in its survival is the survival of the human species. Botany is the study of all aspects of plants, including systemat- ics, morphology, diversity, metabolism, and ecology. Through a study of plants, students gain an understanding and an appreciation of life at the cellular, organismal, population, and community levels of organization. The study of Botany can lead to a variety of professional careers, including soil science, forestry, range management, biotechnology, plant breeding, horticulture, marine biology, environmental science, and teaching. The Botany Department at Weber State University offers undergraduate training in all areas of botany. The required upper division courses provide a core knowledge of the field of botany: anatomy, physiology, genetics, ecology, taxonomy, and plant diversity. The department also requires botany majors to develop a portfolio. The portfolio is a multidimensional collection of both student and faculty selected materials that are both developmental and representational in nature. Within the portfolio, students can document their acquisition of a variety of skills, including critical thinking, scientific reasoning, writing, speaking, and effective arguing. The portfolio is used for assessment purposes in addition to serving as an incentive to the student for developing good habits in assembling and organizing materials of relevance to themselves and others, such as personnel managers or graduate school selection committees. The department has also developed an undergraduate thesis program which provides a desirable capstone experience for many of the Botany majors. Individuals who choose to study botany fall into two broad groups: those who are interested in the qualitative or descriptive side of science and those who are more interested in the quantitative or analytical side. In order to serve both groups effectively, the Botany Department offers a Botany Major with either a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree. The Botany requirements for both groups are the same, but the support courses are different because the students who work on these two degrees have different career goals. The B.A. has minimal support courses in math and the physical sciences. The student must meet the institutional requirement for a foreign language (see page 35). The B.S. emphasizes support courses in mathematics and the physical sciences and includes a chemistry minor. In addition to the Botany Major, the Department offers a Botany Teaching Major. In conjunction with a Zoology Teaching Minor, this program prepares individuals who are interested in teaching Biology at the secondary school level. The Botany and Zoology Departments also cooperate in offering a Biology Composite Teaching Major. The Botany Department also serves Students who are interested in preprofessional programs: Preagriculture, Prehorticulture, Preforestry, and Prerange Management. After completing these programs at Weber State, students must continue their education at another institution in order to obtain baccalaureate degrees in these fields. The catalog of the school to which the student plans to transfer should be consulted as a guide in registering for courses at Weber State. The Botany Minor and the Botany Teaching Minor provide valuable support for students majoring in a variety of other fields, including geoscience and zoology.
