Areas of Study

The courses offered by the Biology Department can be used to pursue specialized programs in the following areas: Botany, Computational Biology, Evolution/Ecology, Microbiology, Molecular/Cellular Biology, Physiology, Systematics, and Zoology. Departmental advisement is recommended for students who wish to complete one of these informal specializations. Formal concentrations in Conservation Biology and Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology are also offered (see below).


Concentration in Biotechnology

Students who the Biotechnology A.S. degree and Biotechnology Certificate at CNM may receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology at UNM with a concentration in Biotechnology. The concentration in Biotechnology provides students with specific laboratory skills required for employment in biological and health professions, and make graduates more competitive and successful candidates for admission into graduate programs around the country. The concentration is based on existing CNM Biotechnology course work and the curriculum is designed to meet competencies common to biotechnology programs around the nation and to be responsive to industry needs. Departmental advisement is required for students who wish to complete the concentration in Biotechnology.

Majors in biology seeking a Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Biotechnology must satisfy the requirements given below in sections 1-5: 

  1. The B.S. degree with a concentration in Biotechnology requires a minimum of 45 credit hours earned in biology courses. These courses must include: BIOL 201L, 202L, 203 and 203L, 204 and 204L; at least one of the following: **351 and **352L, *371L, 386L.

  2. At CNM the curriculum includes 11 credit hours encompassed within three laboratory-based classes. The three classes are taught in sequential order, starting in the summer semester (Term 1 - BIOT 1020: Biotechnology Lab Techniques I), continuing in the fall semester (Term 2 – BIOT 2110: Biotechnology Lab Techniques II) and culminating the following spring semester (Term 3 – BIOT 2210: Biotechnology Lab Techniques III).

Concentration in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology

Climate change and other pressing environmental problems have led to the increased importance of a solid understanding of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology (EEOB). The concentration provides a depth of understanding at multiple hierarchies of biological organization and exposes students to the techniques, methodologies and approaches used by these sub-disciplines. Students develop expertise with the biology of a group of organisms, familiarity with methodologies used in study, expertise with the systematics of classification, and significant hands-on experience in the field or research laboratory. The concentration, available to students pursuing either the B.S. or B.A. in Biology, is designed to provide a comprehensive background for students planning to pursue graduate school or seek a career in a governmental agency.

Majors in biology seeking a B.S. degree with a concentration in EEOB must satisfy the requirements given in sections 1, 2, 3 and 6. Majors in biology seeking a B.A. degree must satisfy the requirements in sections 4, 5, and 6.

Departmental Honors

Students interested in the Biology Honors program must complete and submit the application form to the Biology Program Coordinator. Upon entering the honors program, the student’s research must be approved by both members of the honors committee. Students ideally should apply for this program in their junior year.

1.  Students pursuing Biology honors must form their honors committee consisting of two faculty members, a research advisor and a reader, as described below:

      • One committee member must be a member of the Biology core faculty. Students must register in the section of BIOL 400 taught by this faculty member.
      • The other committee member may also be selected from the Biology core faculty, or may be an adjunct, research, or regular faculty member at UNM with approval of the Biology Department Honors Program Chair.

2.  One of the two honors committee members must be designated as the research advisor, usually the committee member with whom the student conducts the majority of their research project.

      • The student works with the research advisor to develop a program of independent research that results in the preparation and submission of an honors thesis and a formal presentation.
      • Students must submit their final thesis, approved by their honors committee, to the Biology Department Honors Program Coordinator by the end of the 5th week in the semester in which they intend to graduate.

3.  The formal presentations can be an oral or poster presentation at the Biology Research Day or at an approved scientific venue. Presentations must also be submitted to the Biology Department Honors Program Coordinator by the 5th week in the semester in which they intend to graduate. Students may present up to the end of their graduating semester.

4.  Enrollment in BIOL 400 is required for two semesters while in the Biology Department Honors program. In addition to working on their project, students in BIOL 400 are required to participate in periodic meetings.

5.  The Biology Department Honors Committee consults with the student's committee to determine the level of honors to be awarded.
