Why a Biology, Society and Environment Degree? For me writing this paper is a difficult task. I would like to say I have some set goal. A dream; a school; a plan A that I am working towards. That in choosing to pursue a Biology, Society and Environment (BSE) degree I knew that I was choosing something that would help achieve a definitive goal. But that is wholly opposite of the reason I chose to be a BSE major. The truth is I chose this major not to support a future goal but because I felt that it was one of the few majors that allowed a student keep their future possibilities open. If I have any goal or plan to speak of it is that I always want multiple paths open to me. The BSE major provided me that by being a major that one gave me control of the classes I could take, much like the individualized degree programs offered but without the stigma attached. And secondly it offered the opportunity of gaining a strong back ground in science without sacrificing the traditional idea of a liberal education. Once I graduate I want to have as many interesting possibilities open to me as I conceivably can. Through this paper I would like to say how the BSE degree may aid me by first defining what I believe interdisciplinary means, the pros and cons I have found in an interdisciplinary BSE degree, and finally what are some of the options open to me after graduation. Interdisciplinary is defined as “involving two or more academic, scientific, or artistic disciplines.” (merrium-webster) A better definition then that, if you want to get poetic is that interdisciplinary means between the rules of knowledge. (Inter meaning between, and discipline meaning a branch of knowledge or control that is gained by requiring that rules be followed). In o... ... middle of paper ... ...t with a local nonprofit, or entry level position with a government organization like the DNR. Being that a second language was a requirement for the BSE as well I’ve played with the idea of seeing if I can get into the post graduate study abroad program for Senegal since French was my language of choice and they have an environmental sustainable tracked. Some of the practical skills that I’ve gained from my BSE major that would help in applying for these position are strong foundation in basic science and the fact that much of my upper level course work was writing intensive and focused on building the ability to express my ideas in a clear format. Having the biology back ground with the skill to write about it effectively has been pretty useful. Over all I’m happy that I chose the BSE as my major it offered me flexibility and many possibilities for my future path.

My knowledge from A-Level Biology and Psychology has allowed me to appreciate and understand aspects of the human anatomy and physiology and also how people interact individually and with the wider society. Studying Chemistry and Maths has been both challenging but intriguing and I have been able to adapt the skills of paying attention to detail, managing, prioritising and conducting extensive research via these courses.
What Yo-Yo Ma essay is trying elaborate on is that he believes we to fight for the arts and how it should integrate into the mixture, and that the arts are also a very important factor and there should be a balance between science, technology, engineering, math, and the arts. – an “Equilibrium” (YO-YO MA, Yo-Yo Ma, page 259). Yo-Yo Ma states in the essay that there are certain skills that are taught to the people who are involved in the arts that would also benefit those students who are involved in any of the STEM majors. The, set of skills being “collaboration,
It fits perfectly with the multidisciplinary degree. I am able to view situations through several different viewpoints. I can apply different ideas and think about which one works best.
David Hille, who is around 72 years old, lives in suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. He enjoys his days reading, playing chess, and garden care. In free time, he also likes to watch baseball.

A science designation will allow me to focus up to 50% of my attention toward both experim...
Niels Bohr was born on the seventh of October of 1885 in Copenhagen, Denmark and died there also on the eighteenth of November of 1962. Bohr’s came from an upper-middle class family and his mother was the daughter of a Jewish banker, his father was a Christian physiology professor at University of Copenhagen. His father was nominated two times for the Nobel Prize during his time there. Bohr attended the University of Copenhagen in 1903 at the age of eighteen. Ever since Bohr was younger he was interested in physics and always knew it was what he wanted to study. Bohr finally received his doctorate in 1911 and the following year married Margrethe Norlund. Together Bohr and Margrethe had six sons, the fourth of which worked with
Crime investigation has been changed over the years because of Sherlock Holmes stories. These stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle have changed how people look and examine crime scenes. Arthur Conan Doyle changed many things with his stories involving forensic techniques and criminal investigation. His stories also changed the detective work, how ciphers are figured out, and how handwriting is connected to a specific person. Conan doyle reflect his opinion in how he changed these 3 things and more through his stories.
H.G. Wells was born as Herbert George Wells on Sep 21 1866, Bromley England. His father was a pro Cricket player and his mom was a servant, once she met H.G. Wells father she retired from being a servant to a house mom. When he was seven he broke his leg, and back then the way to heal that was to put a cast around it and just read books, this is what H.G. Wells called the turning point. He read many books from the greats like Washington Irving and Charles Dickens. When his leg healed his family's store failed. They struggled to survive, in fact they had such a hard time his mom went back to being a servant! H.G. Wells found out about the large library in his mom's boss's library. He spent almost all of his time there, until
“The word interdisciplinary consists of two parts: inter and disciplinary. The prefix inter means “between, among, in the midst,” or “derived from two or more.” Disciplinary means “of or relating to a particular field of study” or specialization” (Repko, 2011, p. 7). I understand this to be a study that often consists of two or more areas that are being observed and examined. An interdisciplinary study is used to help us put together research by asking and answering questions, address certain issues by viewing a variety of views.
Between 2009 and 2014 the number of Interdisciplinary Studies degrees conferred to undergraduate students increased by 37 percent (U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, 2016). However, despite this growth in degrees conferred, many individuals do not know what a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies entails. When some people think of a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, they think it means having a degree with more than one area of study, similar to having two minors instead of one major. However, a degree in Interdisciplinary studies is much more than having a degree with multiple areas of study. The intention of this paper is to define Interdisciplinary Studies, explain how a degree in Interdisciplinary studies can bring two unique areas of study into a cognitive area of study using a metaphor and show the benefits of obtaining a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. Further the application of a Christian worldview will be explored when integrated with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. As stated in Colossians 3:23, “whatever your task, put yourselves into it, as done for the Lord…” (New Revised Standard Version).
I have never been very interested in any science class until now. I have always loved crime shows and have been very interested in how forensic science helps in crime investigations, but I have learned that I like more than just that. By taking a required Biology class now, I have concluded that I like learning about the study genes. As of right now, do not foresee myself furthering my education in any of these studies, but I like that I had the option and was able to learn about them.
Since beginning high school, I've been very interested in chemistry and the environment and when they came into my life that’s when I knew that I wanted to major in that certain field. I want to pursue a degree course that combines all of these. Since engineering runs through my family from the oldest to the youngest, it reinforced my decision even more. In the future I hope to obtain a Masters degree and become employed in research and development in the industry.
I have been keen on chemistry and biology throughout my time at secondary school. I have always been amazed by human anatomy and physiology. I am particularly interested in understanding methods for diagnosing, analysing and treating disease. Ihope to study biomedical sciences because I wish to pursue a degree which will enable me to explore the world of science in much greater depth and widen my understanding of the role of science in the modern world. I feel that a degree in biomedical sciences will broaden my perspectives and enable me to use my scientific skills in full. I enjoy reading widely on a range of scientific subjects, and look forward to the opportunity that a biomedical science degree will give me to pursue these interests further.
My interests in science have grown and that has been the foundation of my academic success. From General Science I chose the option of biological sciences and from biological sciences I chose Zoology and biochemistry. I will be graduating in December 2013 with a First class honors in Bachelor of Science with a major in Zoology and a minor in Biochemistry. I have developed a thorough understanding of General Science, what it entails and its career prospect giving me enough reason to want to pursue it further. My ultimate academic goal is to earn a Ph.D. in infectious diseases, a masters course will help me explore and narrow down my interests on the area of infectious diseases i will study in depth.
