3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 200 with a minimum grade of “C-”; and CHEM 131-132 or CHEM 141-142 This course is an introduction to the study of viruses including bacteriophages and animal viruses. Viral structure and mechanisms of action are considered at the molecular level, and emphasis is placed on viral replication strategies. Three hours of lecture weekly. May be taken for graduate-level credit.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 200 with a minimum grade of “C-“; and BIOL 251 or BIOL 341 or BIOL 373, any of which may be taken concurrently; and CHEM 343 which may be taken concurrently; or consent of instructor This course is an introduction to the fundamentals in molecular toxicology, ecotoxicology and analytical toxicology. Classes will build upon students’ previous cellular biology, molecular biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry and ecology classes and experience. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory weekly.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 321 with a minimum grade of “C-” or consent of instructor The course investigates general principles of genetics as applied to humans. Emphasis will be placed on human genome analysis, pedigree construction and analysis, diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, gene mapping, cytogenetics of normal and aberrant genomes and population genetics. Three hours of lecture weekly. Offered every other year. May be taken for graduate-level credit.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 428 with a minimum grade of “C-” or consent of instructor The relationships between parasitic microorganisms and their hosts will form the basis for this course. We will study both protozoal and multicellular parasites of animals and humans, mechanisms of disease, host defenses and public health aspects of control and treatment with strong emphasis on the medical/veterinary and global public health aspects of this area of biology. The course will include student independent investigation of the biochemical and immunologic advances of the last three decades through reading of the primary literature, and oral presentation of a topic based on this investigation. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Offered every other year. May be taken for graduate-level credit.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 200 with a minimum grade of “C-”; and BIOL 251 or BIOL 373; or equivalent or consent of instructor Nervous system ultrastructure, and the chemical and physiological properties of mammalian nerve cells will be discussed. Topics will include an examination of cell types, membrane potentials, synaptic transmission, embryonic development, growth and aging. Sensory and motor functions of nerves; reflex mechanisms; autonomic nervous functions; and central nervous system functions such as emotions, learning and memory, regulation of biological clocks and autonomic functions will be covered. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly. Offered every third year. May be taken for graduate-level credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Open to Commonwealth and Departmental Honors students One-hour weekly meetings with the thesis director will culminate in an honors thesis. With the consent of the Departmental Honors Committee and the thesis director, this course may be extended into a second semester for three additional credits depending upon the scope of the project. Whether the final version of the thesis qualifies the student to graduate with honors will be determined by the Departmental Honors Committee. Either semester.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 225 with a minimum grade of “C-“, other prerequisites may be required Various specialized or experimental offerings in ecology will be offered from time to time as either three-credit courses or short courses of one or two credits. Each course may be lecture, laboratory or combined lecture and laboratory as appropriate. Biology majors may combine three short courses to equal one elective. May be taken for graduate-level credit.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Sophomore, junior or senior standing and acceptance by the supervising faculty member Students who are accepted by a faculty member as a participant in an undergraduate laboratory or field research project enroll in this course. Projects entail substantial research in the faculty member’s biological subdiscipline and are publicized as student research positions become available. Students are extensively involved in experimental planning, execution, analysis and reporting, and present their results to the biology department. Offered every semester.
-
3.00 - 15.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of the department Internships include research laboratory or occupational experience in industrial, allied health, educational, medical, governmental, recreational, regulatory or other organizations outside of the university. No more than six credits may be used toward the biology major electives. This course may be repeated for a maximum of 15 credits. Graded on a (P) Pass/(N) No Pass basis. Either semester.
