-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of organisms. Topics covered in this course will include evolution, phylogeny, taxonomy, biological diversity, and ecology. Biological kingdoms from bacteria to higher animals including comparisons of their morphologies and interactions will be surveyed. Class, three hours; lab, two hours per week. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes BIO 102 preferred but not required. (Cr: 4)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of pathogenic microbes that affect humans by causing sexually transmitted infections (STI's). This course covers the full effects and impact of STI's; therefore, we focus on the basic biology of organisms involved as well as factors leading to initiation, spread and control of disease. A large portion of this class is dedicated to modern microbiology, and we will study microorganisms at the molecular and cellular level. Course not open to Biology/Biotechnology or Nursing majors . Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated approach to understanding the Earth, environment, and its processes. A presentation of basic principles and applications of earth science, chemistry, and biology as they relate to the Earth and real world. Basic principles from the science disciplines are investigated through the laboratory experience. Class, three hours; lab, two hours per week. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 4)
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the interrelationships of organisms and their environments. The broad subject of ecology focuses upon the interactions of plants and animals, including humans, with each other and with their non-living world. Three levels of ecology are studied: (1) Individuals, (2) Populations, (3) Communities and Ecosystems. This class provides an overview of the science of ecology for the informed citizen, and also a good foundation for further work in ecology, marine biology and environmental science. Class, three hours; lab, two hours per week. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 4)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the human organism relating structure and function. The approach is an integrated one, stressing interrelationships and feedback systems: organic molecules, the cell, cellular respiration, tissues, skin, bones, muscles, and the nervous system. Class, three hours; lab, two hours per week. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes BIO 101, BIO 102 or permission of instructor. (Cr: 4)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the human organism relating structure and function. Topics include: the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system, endocrinology, digestion, metabolism, the urinary system, water and electrolyte balance, and the reproductive systems. Class, three hours; lab, two hours per week. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes BIO 201. (Cr: 4)
-
3.00 Credits
Plant Biology introduces students to essential elements of the plant kingdom from basic plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant systematics, and plant ecology. The course is intended to provide students with a basic understanding of the major vegetation biomes (landscape groupings), plant modifications to survive in these biomes, and how plant communities structure themselves. Students will be responsible for identifying and collecting plant material from the surrounding ecosystems as well as maintaining a live plant collection in the college's greenhouse. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes A 100 level science course or permission of instructor. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the culture, biochemistry, serology, and pathogenicity of microorganisms. Preparations of media and use of techniques employed in isolation, identification, and differentiation of these organisms. Class, three hours; lab, two hours per week. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. Prerequisites & Notes BIO 101 or BIO 102 or BIO 201 or permission of instructor. (Cr: 4)
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the basic concepts of biotechnology and to the application of biotechnology methodologies in various fields. We will consider specific topics related to human health, disease research, agricultural biotechnology, bioremediation, nanotechnology, genomics and others - all of which affect society. Critical evaluation of biotechnology, e.g. ethical considerations, inherent caveats and opportunities for improvements emphasized. Prerequisites & Notes BIO 102 and BIO 103. (Cr: 3)
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines current issues in the relevance of scientific inquiry. Students investigate selected subjects with an emphasis on the most recent research in the field. Students observe and summarize relationships, formulate and test hypotheses, and study connections among hypotheses, formal models, predictions, and actual results. Examples of topics that may be explored include consumerism, health, media, and advertising. Satisfies the Science and Math core requirement. (Cr: 3)
