-
1.00 Credits
An independent study course in which students are expected to perform research on specific topics in biology and present findings in class discussions and in a research paper. Students should have a strong background in the biological sciences. Lecture/Lab Hours: One hour per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a general cell biology course covering the structure and function of a diversity of cell types, including their architecture and organization, modes and mechanisms of cell division, various membrane phenomena, organellogenesis, signal transduction, physiology, energy transduction, gene expression, and various cellular control mechanisms. Additional topics will include cell evolution, cellular diversity, and multicellularity. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This course seeks to investigate and examine the basic principles and evolution of the parasitic lifestyle of various groups of organisms and includes a survey of the most common parasitic species in a laboratory setting. Special emphasis will be placed on the parasites of humans and domestic animals. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a one-semester course on the principles of biological chemistry with an emphasis on the study of the principal compounds of biochemical importance: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, their chemistry, metabolic breakdown and biosynthesis, enzymes, co-factors, nucleic acids, regulation of cellular systems. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a study of the interactions of plants and animals with their non-living environment and with each other. Topics include: species diversity, population structure and dynamics, organization and classification of communities, and nutrient and energy flows in ecosystems. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a plant biology course that deals with the biology of plants at the organismal and ecological levels. Topics include: plant anatomy, plant physiology, evolution, and diversity of plants, algae, and fungi; environmental interactions; global environmental issues and ethnobotany. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the natural history of the invertebrate phyla, with emphasis on the major groups: their phylogeny, comparative structure and physiology, ecology, and embryology necessary for an understanding of homology. Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introduction to the natural history of the phylum Chordata with an emphasis on the vertebrate classes: their phylogeny, comparative structure and physiology, ecology, historical distribution patterns, and embryology necessary for understanding of homology. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This course presents the basic subdivisions of microbiology, including the study of viruses, fungi, and microscopic eukaryotes, but with an emphasis on bacteriology. Topics covered include the following: microbial taxonomy and evolution, microbial physiology, microbial genetics, microbial pathogenesis, and the tools and techniques of microbiology. The impact of microbiology on medicine, the environment, basic research, and biotechnology is discussed. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an examination of the physiological processes which contribute to whole animal homeostasis. This course will compare the strategies and adaptations used by different animals to meet the challenges of circulation, gas exchange, metabolism, temperature regulation, water balance, sensation, and locomotion in the context of their environments. Emphasis will be on the integrative actions of the nervous and endocrine systems. Lecture/Lab Hours: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
