  • 1.00 Credits

    This short-term study abroad course is the companion to BIO 407: Fermentation Microbiology and requires travel to France and Belgium. The study abroad component of the course highlights the history of fermented foods as well as the modern industrial application of microbiology to food production.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course introduces fundamental concepts, algorithms and methods in bioinformatics and genomics. Topics include, but are not limited to: pairwise sequence alignment, multiple sequence alignment, biological database searching, phylogenetic analysis, protein structure prediction, genome annotation and comparative genomics. The course introduces the use of computer programming and various computational tools to analyze biological data. Understanding of bioinformatics methods and the practical application of these methods are emphasized. No prior programming experience is necessary.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course will introduce the Python and R programming languages with respect to biological sequence analysis. The BioPython module in Python and the Bioconductor package in R will be used to introduce programming concepts, with emphasis on analyzing big genomic data produced by high throughput sequencing technologies. Development of computational pipelines will be performed and various free bioinformatics software tools will be integrated with Python and R to analyze biological sequence data. No prior programming experience is necessary.
  • 1.00 Credits

    An in-depth study of a current topic in biology. Requires independent study project and presentation.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course is for students pursuing a major in Biology or Marine Science-Biology. Students in this course will integrate their studies at the University of Tampa in the Department of Biology with 1) completing an interdisciplinary synthesis of an aspect of the biological sciences in the context of the local and global world we live in, and 2) finalizing their professional preparation in the biological sciences. By undertaking this synthesis and reflection, students in this course will gain an overall comprehension of the connectedness of the skills and knowledge they have acquired in their time at UT.
  • 1.00 Credits

    This advanced biology course will focus on analysis and presentation of published research articles. Students will also attend and critique biology research seminars. Themes ranging from molecular to organismal biology will be explored. This course will be of particular interest to advanced Biology students who plan to pursue graduate or professional degrees.
  • 2.00 - 6.00 Credits

    Students select a topic of interest in biology and explore the subject thoroughly through directed literature-based research. Requires at least two hours each week for each credit attempted and a formal paper with extensive literature review. Oral presentation of results can be used in place of BIO 410 with permission of department chair. Counts as general elective credit only and therefore may not be used as an upper level biology elective.
  • 2.00 - 6.00 Credits

    Research questions must be selected with the professor in charge of the project with approval from the department chair. Requires at least two hours each week for each credit attempted. Oral presentation of results can be used in place of BIO 410 with permission of department chair. Counts as general elective credit only and therefore may not be used as an upper level biology elective.
  • 2.00 - 6.00 Credits

    Research topics must be selected in consultation with the professor in charge of the project with approval from the department chair. Usually requires preliminary library or laboratory research prior to attempting a BIO 450 project (volunteer research, BIO 440 or BIO 445 recommended). Requires at least two hours each week for each credit attempted, a research paper and oral presentation of topic. Oral presentation of results can be used in place of BIO 410 with permission of department chair. Counts as general elective credit only and therefore may not be used as an upper level biology elective.
  • 1.00 Credits

    Through direct involvement both in and out of the classroom students gain practical knowledge of instruction in a college biology laboratory. Under the supervision of faculty, students are involved in the aspects pertaining to teaching a semester's biology laboratory. This may include but is not limited to presenting introductory material, aiding students during laboratories, development and critique of evaluation component(s), and laboratory preparation and maintenance. Counts as general elective credit only and therefore may not be used as an upper level biology elective.
