2.00 Credits
A survey of biology texts, curriculum guides, visual aids, computer software, and free materials useful in the classroom. A variety of experiments, inquiry situations, and learning center ideas are explored. This course is required of all biological science teaching majors. Cross listed with CHM 350/PHY 350. Prerequisite: Admission to the Teacher Education Program with a major in biology. (Offered spring semester of odd calendar years.)
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
A project course. An opportunity for students to make a beginning at research work or learn skills in areas such as cell/molecular biology, plant taxonomy, biological illustrating, or micro technique. The assigned project will be related to major interest. Prerequisite: Major in biology. (Offered irregularly.)
-
4.00 Credits
Behavior and activity of microorganisms more or less common in the natural environment. Special attention given to the physiology of bacteria. Includes concepts of immunology and epidemiology.

4.00 Credits
A study of legislation and implementing regulatory bodies dealing with U.S. and international policy. Students will gain a balanced, yet critical, account of how regulation is carried out, and the effect of political forces. Issues of general interest (e.g., solid waste, water, and air quality) are explored, as are emerging issues such as environmental waste at nuclear weapons facilities and political problems inherent in protecting biodiversity. The crisis of regulatory capacity in the U.S., which has developed in the environmental field since 1970, including deficiencies in institutional and policy design, is also examined. (Three hours lecture and two hours lab per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 110, 112, CHM 112, PHY 120C or permission of instructor. (Offered spring semester of even calendar years.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course will deal with the physical and biotic factors of the environment that affect individual organisms and populations. Principles of ecology will be studied at the organismic, population, and community level. Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112, 115, or permission of instructor. (Offered spring semester.)
-
0.00 - 2.00 Credits
Junior Departmental Honors Research Variable
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Selected readings chosen by student and instructor.

8.00 Credits
Biology majors may earn a maximum of eight semester credits while engaged in a practicum experience related to their specific field of interest. The potentials for the practicum are unlimited. The practicum may involve work or volunteer service in any biologically related career. Each practicum will need the approval of the Department chair. It is the student's responsibility to initiate a request for the practicum, suggest prospective openings, and declare in writing their interests and goals for each practicum. The practicum will be taken for pass/fail credit unless the student formally requests a letter grade before attempting the practicum.
-
2.00 Credits
Reading and discussion assignments for the biology major dealing with recent biology research and advancement. Special projects and problems may be done on an individual basis. Offered each spring to be taken by all biology majors during their senior year. Secondary education majors in biology and pre-med-tech biology majors should take this course during their junior year. Meets the general education writing intensive requirement. Prerequisite: If taken for credit, 16 hours of previous biology. Anyone expecting to major in the Department may participate without credit. (Offered spring semester.)
