Molecular Biology Program Learning Goals  The Molecular biology
program, jointly sponsored by the Biology and Chemistry
departments, offer students in depth training in Molecular
Biology.  Since students begin by taking introductory level
courses in both Biology or Chemistry, the Molecular Biology
learning goals build upon those of these two departments. (see
learning goals for Biology and Chemistry majors).  Learning
goals:    • Students will understand the scientific process, in
the context of learning the fundamental biological and chemical
‘facts' of molecular biology.   • Students will gain skills
required to effectively do scientific research. More
specifically, students will learn to implement the scientific
method by proposing hypotheses to explain biological phenomena,
designing and conducting experiments to test these hypotheses,
and critically interpreting the resulting data.   • Students
will learn to effectively communicate their result
