Biotechnology Science Building Voice Mail: (206) 281-2140 Richard L. Ridgway, Director, Cynthia L. Fitch, Benjamin J. McFarland Biotechnology has been identified as one of the most important applied sciences of the 21st century. This emergent discipline embraces many disciplines, including biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology and computer science/mathematical modeling. It has been argued that this synergy will lead to a new discipline where technology and biology are driving each other. Dramatic examples of this are the Human Genome Project and recent advances in genetic manipulation for medical therapy, which may eventually lead to extended and expansive practice of what is termed preventative medicine (i.e., identification of genes predisposing to disease and the use of therapies to avoid or lessen disease). The Seattle area is one of the leaders in biotechnology, with over 100 biotechnology firms in operation. This industry exerts a major economic force and provides a rapidly growing employment opportunity for research and administrative positions. The influence of this biotechnol- ogy industry is felt in educational institutions, including science-education enhancement in the K–12 classrooms, as well as for college and university students who find many opportunities for undergraduate research projects. To maximize benefits for students at SPU, a biotechnology program was launched in 1997–98. More recently, through participation in the Washington State Biotechnology and Biomedical Skill Standards Project (1999–2002), the program revised its curriculum to focus on student mastery of critical work functions identified by biotechnology industry representatives. As a result of this Biotechology 95 revision, a dedicated degree pathway (B.S. Biology, Option III) with emphasis in biotechnology/molecular biology was created and a special “two-way” articulation agreement was established between the biotechnology programs at Shoreline Community College (SCC) and SPU. This articulation enables associate of applied arts and sciences (A.A.A.S. degree) graduates of Shoreline Community College to transition smoothly to the B.S. Biology, Option III pathway at SPU, while SPU Biotechnology Program students gain easy access to several vocationally oriented courses at SCC. The Biotechnology Program uses existing courses in biology and chemistry, but with some special emphases (see B.S. Biology, Option III, under “Biology”) In addition to regular coursework and exams, Biotechnology Program students demonstrate their proficiency through (1) maintenance of industry-standard laboratory notebooks; (2) compilation of a “Biotechnology Laboratory Skills Portfolio” to document their skill competency for external reviewers, such as during job interviews; (3) involvement in an educational outreach experience focusing on biotechnology issues; and (4) successful completion of a one- or two-term internship experience in a biotechnology laboratory setting, which may be extended to a senior thesis project. For more information regarding the Biotechnology Program contact Dr. Richard L. Ridgway, Department of Biology. Blakely Island Field Station Blakely Island, Washington (206) 281-2899 www.spu.edu/blakely Timothy Nelson, Director In 1977, the University was given 900 acres of land and granted an open-space conservation easement on another 3,000 acres on Blakely Island, in the San Juan archipelago of northwestern Washington. The Blakely Island Field Station serves as the teaching site for upper-division biology courses in marine, aquatic and terrestrial ecology, as well as in natural history, introductory biology and astronomy for non-science majors. Research conducted by faculty and students has included baseline surveys of major island habitats, and the ecology of lakes, marine bays and eelgrass beds. The field station campus is located near Spencer Lake, one of the island’s two freshwater lakes. Although only a few miles from the mainland, the island is isolated and home to only a few year-round residents. Facilities include a dining hall-library-classroom building that accommodates 24 students and staff, a residence hall with 10 double-occupancy rooms and a dive shop. The island is surrounded by lush kelp forests, eelgrass meadows and spectacular rock walls. These subtidal and intertidal habitats support a diversity of seaweeds, invertebrates, fish and marine mammals. In the island interior, the lakes provide habitat for river otters, herons, kingfishers, bald eagles and ospreys, as well as a diverse invertebrate fauna. The terrain is rugged, rising sharply from sea level to more than 1,000 feet, and it supports several distinctive forest types. For more information, contact the field station director. For a complete listing of biology courses offered at Blakely Island Field Station see the preceding “Biology” section of this Catalog. For other courses, contact the director of the Blakely Island Field Station. Business and Economics, School of David L. McKenna Hall (206) 281-2970 www.spu.edu/depts/sbe Jeffrey Van Duzer, Dean, Jonathan Deming, Denise Daniels, Douglas Downing, Al Erisman, Randal Franz, Loren Gustafson, Dan Hess, Gary Karns, Herbert Kierulff, Kenneth Knight, Joanna Poznanska, James Rand, Regina Schlee, Richard Sleight, Gerhard Steinke, Ross Stewart, Lisa Surdyk, Kenman Wong “We prepare students for service and leadership in business and society by developing their professional competence and integrity in the context of Christian faith and values. We are a learning community that prizes educational excellence and effective teaching, supported by scholarship and service.” –School of Business and Economics Mission Statement SBE Distinctives While the programs of the School of Business and Economic (SBE) are appropriately similar to those offered by other universities in the coverage of the basic business knowledge and skills, at Seattle Pacific University, they reflect three mission-driven distinctives: 1. Christian faith, ethics and character 2. Applied learning 3. Collaborative learning community First, SBE seeks to provide a business education that is permeated by the influence of historic Christian faith, ethics and character. The University is committed to an expression of Christian faith that is both evangelical and ecumenical. Graduates should gain a basic grasp of the Christian faith and understand how it applies to business situations. We are committed to the promotion of integrity and strong character in the marketplace. Second, SBE seeks to be a superior provider of applied learning. Several factors contribute to this distinctive including small class sizes, location and connection with the Seattle business community. All courses are taught by faculty; no teaching assistants are utilized in the classroom. The curriculum stresses both active, applied learning activities (e.g., problems, cases, simulations, role playing and field-based projects), as well as extensive interaction with business executives (e.g., required internships for business administration majors, mentors, service learning opportunities and guest speakers). Blakely Island Business and Economics, School of 96 Business and Economics, School of Third, SBE is committed to a collaborative learning community. Collaborative activities promote active learning, bridging the gulf between students and teachers, creating a sense of a learning community and ensuring that knowledge is created, not just presented. In light of SBE’s mission and distinctives, each graduate should be able to do the following: 1. Analyze business situations through the lens of Christian faith and ethics. 2. Work effectively in teams. 3. Facilitate the completion of group projects. 4. Communicate effectively orally (including presentations) and in writing. 5. Use quantitative analysis to aid decision making. 6. Utilize information technology. 7. Apply critical-thinking skills to business problems. 8. Self-assess personal abilities, strengths and weaknesses. In addition, business administration graduates should be able to do the following: 1. Apply the principles of servant leadership developed through interacting with role models and provide service and leadership to business, professional, community and church organizations. 2. Apply in-depth knowledge in one of the following areas: management, marketing, finance, economics, international business, e-commerce or information systems. Accounting graduates should also be able to do the following: 1. Apply the principles of servant-leadership developed through interacting with role models and provide service and leadership to business, professional, community and church organizations. 2. Apply knowledge of accounting history, concepts, reporting, regulations, professional responsibility, financial analysis and ethics to real-world business situations. 3. Have in-depth knowledge in specialized accounting areas — financial, managerial, taxation, information systems, auditing and/or international. Admission to Majors in the SBE Majors offered by the School of Business and Economics are accounting, business administration and economics. The business administration major offers concentrations in the following areas: (1) e-commerce; (2) economics; (3) finance; (4) information systems; (5) international business; (6) management; and (7) marketing. Students who are interested in a business major are encouraged to indicate their interest upon arrival at SPU. This indication is made with the Office of Admissions. It does not commit the student to a major within the school, but assures that an advisor from within the school will be assigned and information about the school and its various activities will be received. For matriculated students, formal application and admission to a major is required prior to enrollment in certain upper-division business or economics courses. Admission is selective and based upon prior academic performance. Admission applications should be submitted to the School of Business and Economics when all admission requirements are satisfied. If you have been admitted to another SPU major, or are a new junior or senior transfer student, contact the SBE office for permission to enroll in upper-division courses. All course prerequisites must be completed before a student may enroll in an SBE course. To be awarded a degree from the School of Business and Economics, students must meet the major and any concentration requirements in effect at the time declaration of a major was made. They must have a minimum of 45 credit hours in the major at SPU. Admission Requirements for Majors in Accounting, Business Administration and Economics Consistent with its mission, the School of Business and Economics admits students to its majors on the basis of academic achievement, personal character, leadership potential and record of service. To meet the minimum requirements for admission to a major, the student must have attained at least sophomore standing; completed at least 15 credits (10 credits for junior transfer students) in School of Business and Economics courses (ACCT, BUS, ECN); have demonstrated computer competency by passing BUS 1700, or by passing a competency exam covering the equivalent; and have achieved a minimum of 2.7 cumulative GPA from all institutions and a minimum of 2.7 cumulative GPA in all SBE courses. Students who enter SPU as freshmen should apply for admission to the School of Business and Economics by February 1 of their sophomore year. Students who enter SPU as transfer students should apply for admission to the School of Business and Economics by February 1 of their first year. When applying by February 1, students will have a better chance of being admitted to certain classes and being considered for SBE scholarships. Newly admitted students will be welcomed to the SBE community at an orientation evening held in early spring, which will include information on the SBE mission and practical tips on succeeding in SBE majors. All newly admitted majors are required to attend this event. Attainment of the minimum GPA standards does not guarantee admission to a major, as the total number of admissions may be limited by capacity.

This is an applications-ori- ented course, where our analysis of companies will be informed by theory and grounded in practice. The term will culminate in a com- prehensive group project and presentation. Attribute: Upper-Division.
