3.00 Credits
This course is designed for beginning Biology majors (but is appropriate for all students), and attempts to introduce students to some of the content areas within the discipline of Biology through investigations focused on a particular Maine organism. The organism may change from year to year. For example, if the focal organism was moose, then possible topics could include moose food plants, moose nutrition, ruminant digestion, moose gut microorganisms, etc. Field notebooks will place an emphasis on recording information in the field setting, and long-term collection of data will be discussed. 1 Cr

3.00 Credits
An introduction to the many aspects of women's health. Topics covered include reproductive system anatomy, physiology of the menstrual cycle, breast cancer, gynecological cancers, HIV/AIDS and other STDs, menopause, etc. Course content emphasizes both normal and abnormal conditions including symptoms, treatment options, and long-term effects as well as prevention. This course is designed for the general student of all ages, and for men as well as women. It also is a useful introduction to the subject for students preparing for careers in the healthcare profession. 3 Cr

3.00 Credits
This course will provide students with an overview of a range of infectious, chronic and genetic diseases. The prevalence, effects, prevention and/or treatment of each disease will be discussed. To the extent possible, given the lack of prerequisites, the etiology of the diseases will be examined. This will require the introduction of some basic genetic information and cell biology. 3 Cr
-
3.00 Credits
A course whose subject matter may come from any of a variety of topics in Biology. This course may be repeated for credit with different topics or at different levels. A lab may be included as part of the course. 1-4 Cr
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the workings of the human body. The primary objective is to gain an understanding of how the healthy human body works. Discussion and investigations center around the form and function of individual body systems and their integration into the living organism we know as the human. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 2 hours. 4 Cr
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course presenting the basic plant structures and their associated functions. Topics considered include the structure of plant cells, the organization of cells into tissues, the aggregation of tissues into organ systems, and the unification of organ systems in the whole plant body. Variations in structural features are examined for representative species in the different divisions of the plant kingdom. Functional attributes of plants considered include seed production and germination, plant growth and development, cell division, genetics and reproduction, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, mineral nutrition, and internal transport. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 2 hours. 4 Cr
-
3.00 Credits
This field-oriented course will introduce students to many of the marine organisms inhabiting various marine environments along the Downeast coast (Bar Harbor to Eastport). The course is intended to create a sense of excitement about marine environments through hands-on field sampling, identifications using guides and keys, and instruction on natural history and ecology. Each day, students will visit rocky shores, soft-bottom intertidal flats, sandy beaches, estuaries, marshes, or islands that will highlight the richness and diversity of marine life in eastern Maine. 3 Cr

2.00 Credits
This is a survey of major marine ecosystems, including plankton, rocky intertidal, mudflat, marsh, coral reef and deep sea communities. Topics for each ecosystem include identifications, life histories, biology and ecology of dominant species. Field trips to local marine environments are used to develop identification skills, ecological techniques, experimental design, and statistical analysis of data. Students participate in toxic alga monitoring program for the Maine State Department of Marine Resources throughout the semester. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 4 hours. Prerequisite: BIO 111, BIO 112, and ENV 103; or equivalent. 4 Cr
