  • 3.00 Credits

    Designed as an introduction to basic horticultural principles and practices. The course emphasizes the basic structure, growth, and development of plants, and gives the student an opportunity to develop skills in the care, propagation, and identification of horticultural plants. No laboratory. This course is acceptable for majors as a free elective, but not in place of a required plant course.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An historical view of plant classification; concepts of nomenclature, goals of phylogenetic and biosystematic investigations; anatomical and morphological characteristics important in classification; key characteristics of important temperate plant families; collection and identification techniques; and introduction to the local flora. Laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 101 Biological Concepts or BIOL 160 Introduction to Organismal Biology.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An examination of structure, life histories, physiology, taxonomy, evolution, and economics of the non-vascular plants. Special attention is given to the algae and the fungi. Laboratories, in addition to morphological studies, introduce the student to the methods of collecting, culturing and identifying these organisms. Laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 101 Biological Concepts or BIOL 160 Introduction to Organismal Biology and BIOL 161 Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A study of the structure and function of cells and their major organelles. Topics covered include the nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi, lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum, protein trafficking, signal transduction, cellular energetics, and gene expression. Laboratory exercises are mostly experimental. Prerequisites: CHEM 107 Principles of Chemistry; BIOL 161 Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology or BIOL 101 Biological Concepts.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A study of the functional systems in the human body and the maintenance of homeostasis. Systems covered in this course include: endocrine, cardiovascular, renal (urinary), digestive and reproductive. Laboratory. Course offered Fall semester. Note: Students may receive credit for only one of the following courses: BIOL 234 Comparative Vertebrate Physiology, BIOL 272 Human Anatomy and Physiology I, or BIOL 333 Principles of Human Physiology. Prerequisites: An introductory biology course with laboratory and an introductory chemistry course with laboratory.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A continuation of BIOL 272 Human Anatomy and Physiology I. This course focuses on tissues in the body, joints, skeletal and muscular anatomy. In addition, the nervous and respiratory systems are studied. This course is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in medical science. Laboratory. Course offered Spring semester. Prerequisite: BIOL 272 Human Anatomy and Physiology I or permission of instructor.
  • 3.00 Credits

    A study of the principles governing heredity in all living things, including microorganisms, plants, and animals. Topics covered include Mendelian inheritance, molecular genetics, cytogenetics, human hereditary disease, and population genetics. Laboratory. Prerequisites: BIOL 260 Cell Biology or permission of the instructor.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An advanced examination of the effects of aerobic and anaerobic exercise on functions of the human body. Relationships among bodily functions, exercise, neural, hormonal and nutritional factors are discussed. Structural and functional aspects of the skeletomuscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems are emphasized. Laboratory. Prerequisite: A grade of C- (1.70) or higher in BIOL 273 Human Anatomy and Physiology II
  • 3.00 Credits

    An examination of the biology and conservation of cetaceans: whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Topics include physiology, population biology and life history analysis, molecular genetics, morphology, distributional ecology, and social behavior. Early lectures focus on the biology of cetaceans and how they are adapted to the marine environment. Later lectures use case studies to review how biological principles can be applied to the conservation of a wide range of cetacean species. Additional course fees apply. Prerequisites: One year of general biology and two upper level biology courses. Application to campus representative of the Marine Studies Consortium must be made one semester prior to experience.
  • 3.00 Credits

    An introduction to the structure, reproduction, physiology and taxonomy of microorganisms. Special attention is given to bacteria and viruses. Emphasis is placed on aspects of microbiology of significance to humankind, including pathogenesis, immunity, microbial ecology, pollution control, food microbiology, and biotechnology. Laboratory exercises introduce the student to standard techniques of cultivation and identification of microorganisms, food microbiology, DNA purification and analysis, immunological assays, as well as encourage independent investigations. Prerequisites: CHEM 107 Principles of Chemistry; BIOL 101 Biological Concepts or BIOL 161 Introduction to Cell and Molecular Biology.
