Experiential Opportunities
There are many opportunities to participate in experiences
that will complement and reinforce a student’s
academic experience. The activities may be either onor
off-campus and may be used to develop leadership
and interpersonal skills. The faculty of the biology
department actively encourages student participation
in such activities.
Outcomes Assessment Activities
Biology Majors
Assessment of students’ improvement in intellectual
skills, knowledge and capacities from entrance to
graduation will be accomplished through the use of
several tools. Exams will be used as one measure of
the student’s proficiency in writing skills, acquisition of
knowledge, problem solving and laboratory skills. All
majors will take a Senior Seminar that requires oral
and written presentations. Seniors will also take the
Biology Field Achievement Test, which measures
Colorado State University-Pueblo students against
national norms.
