-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to general biology. This course will provide an overview of biology and serve as a framework for further biological studies. Deliberations on the nature and philosophy of science (especially biology) will provide a basis for discussion of ecology, evolution, and cell biology. Prerequisites: MATH086, ENGL091, or equivalent scores on the math and English placement exams. (3,3) 4
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
An introduction to the diversity of life, including the morphology, physiology, reproduction, general habitats and taxonomy of organisms. Adaptation to environment and modern concepts of evolution are stressed as unifying themes throughout the course. Prerequisites: MATH086, ENGL091, or equivalent scores on the math and English placement exams. (3,3) 4
-
0.00 - 999.00 Credits
No course description available.
-
1.00 Credits
Students meet in discipline-based, student-faculty groups in conjunction with BIOL299, BIOL399 and BIOL499. Weekly meetings will include discussion of literature relevant to the discipline and progress reports from upperclass students engaged in scholarly projects. Freshmen will assist with ongoing projects and will be guided by faculty and seniors enrolled in BIOL499 to generate and interpret data from these projects. Prerequisite: MATH102. Pre- or corequisite: BIOL131. (1,0) 1
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
A course with a main objective to allow the student to be able to recognize common families, genera, and species, especially those in the local flora. Prerequisite: BIOL132. (2,3) 3
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the history of natural resource conservation and management, career opportunities within the field of natural resources, and interactions between humans and the environment. The course will focus extensively on basic concepts in human dimensions as they apply to natural resource conservation and management. Course topics include assessing social attitudes and values, social conflicts and conflict resolution, legal and regulatory framework of natural resource management, and the role of stakeholder groups in conservation and management. Prerequisite: ENGL111; Pre- or Co-requisite COMM101. (3,0) 3
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will deal with the history and scope of microbiology, a study of microbial structure, growth, nutrition, metabolism, genetics, taxonomy and control. A study of mycoplasma, viruses and molds will be incorporated with genetic engineering and recombinant DNA. Labs will emphasize the identification and cultivation of molds and bacteria. Prerequisites: CHEM104, CHEM108 or CHEM116. (3,3) 4
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of the nature, transmission, recombination and function of hereditary material in animals, plants and microorganisms. The lecture includes Mendelian, molecular and population genetics. The laboratory includes exercises in Mendelian genetics, cytogenetics, recombinant DNA, and computer simulations of population genetics. Meets ethics component of general education requirements. Prerequisites: BIOL131 and CHEM116. A statistics course is strongly recommended. (3,3) 4
-
3.00 Credits
A basic course in microbiology dealing with the study of microorganisms and pathogens in humans. A survey of viruses, molds and bacteria. Their morphology and growth characteristics will be discussed along with the physical and chemical means to control pathogenic microorganisms causing human infections. Prerequisites: CHEM105 and BIOL122. Does not apply towards a major or minor in biology. (3,0) 3
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A course dealing with the soil ecosystem as a natural resource and as an environmental medium. Beginning with factors involved in soil formation the course will survey soil physical, chemical, and organic properties and how they respond to disturbance. Soil reactions to wastes and wetland interactions will be discussed. Laboratories will focus on description of local soils and the use of soil survey information in making soil interpretations. Prerequisites: CHEM108 and CHEM109 or above; NSCI103 or BIOL131; EVRN125 and EVRN126. (3,3) 4
