Inside this Book – There is probably no area of specialization in today’s world under- going more change than the field of biology. Dramatic progress has revolutionized the science, and approaches using mathematics, chemistry, physics, and technology have led to extraordinary changes in the method of teaching biology. As a result, you will see wide disparity in the curricula at different schools, depending on the degree to which the university is a world leader in research. There will almost always be some kind of core curriculum essential to building a student’s breadth of knowledge in bio. In this book we will focus on that core since the breadth of instruction is so wide. And as new areas of exploration open new frontiers, not every college will offer every specialty within biology. In some ways that will make your choice of college harder and in some ways easier. If, for example, you are an A student with an interest and work experience in, for example, genetic engineering, your choices of curriculum will be limited to those colleges offering opportunities for advanced research in highly specialized fields. In contrast, if you are in high school and, like most of your classmates, did well and enjoyed your high school biology classes, may have even taken Advanced Placement courses, and think you want to major in biology, you may be looking for a curriculum that offers a broader scope of courses. In that case you will be looking at programs that provide you with a greater overview of the various fields from which you can choose.
