Course Level: Undergraduate The core of biology is the scientific experiment. This course, through lecture and laboratory, focuses on some classic experiments that introduce students to the modern study of biology and scientific method. Experiments include the molecular basis of mutation, separation of complex biologically important molecules, and the construction of demographic tables. Usually offered every term. Prerequisite: completion of the University Mathematics Requirement, or concurrent enrollment in MATH-170 or MATH-211 or STAT-202.

Course Level: Undergraduate An in-depth introduction and exploration of the study of life from atoms, molecules, and organelles to the cellular levels of organization. Emphasis on cell structure and function, energetics and metabolism, the gene, molecular genetics, and evolution. The laboratory component introduces the scientific method and experimentation through the study of microbes, plants and animals. Usually offered every term. Prerequisite: MATH-170, MATH-211, or MATH-221, which may be taken concurrently. Note: this course is recommended for science majors, pre-medical, or honors students only.

Course Level: Undergraduate An exploration of the origins of planet Earth and life. Emphasis on the organismal and higher levels of biological organization. The diversity of life through a survey of the three domains, various kingdoms and their phylogenetic relationships. The form and function of plants and animals. A consideration of the interrelationships between organisms and environment. The laboratory component explores the diversity of life at the organismal and higher levels of biological organization. Studies include form and function of plants and animals, dissection of the rat, and selected systems. Usually offered every term. Prerequisite for General Education credit: BIO-100 or BIO-110 or PSYC-115. Note: this course is recommended for science majors, or pre-medical or honors students only.

3.00 Credits
Course Level: Undergraduate What is evolution, how and why does it occur, and what does it tell us about the world around us This course reviews the process of evolution from the initial organic soup that existed some four billion years ago to the relatively recent emergence of humans. It investigates why species change over time, both in their individual characteristics and their relative abundance, and examines how cultural and technological advances are influencing the current and future biological evolution of humans. Usually offered every term. Prerequisite for General Education credit: BIO-100 or BIO-110 or PSYC-115.
