New Stewardship Major
The
Biological Sciences
Department announces a new concentration, Biodiversity Stewardship, within our BA
in Natural Science program to begin in Spring 2007. The major is designed for students
who want to help save the living world by acting as biodiversity specialists, translators
of scientific information and facilitators for conservation. Coursework is in three
main areas:
1. Courses that lead to an understanding of the biology of organisms
2. Courses that improve written and oral communication skills.
3. Courses that allow
for an understanding of the relationship between the preservation of biological
species and the needs of society.
With a careful choice of electives, students can
easily complete a minor in Environmental Studies as well. Advisors for the new major
are Dr. Michael Kutilek, (408) 924-4895 or mkutilek@email.sjsu.edu, and Dr. Jerry
Smith, (408) 924-4855 or smithj@email.sjsu.edu.
