3 credits This lecture-based course describes the basic structure and function of most organ systems within the context of some common human diseases. Homeostasis, the dynamic equilibrium in which the internal environment of an organism is maintained fairly constant, is the theme of this course that allows the understanding of certain common diseases. Students with little science background will investigate human disease within a personal context. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, or placement. Fall and spring.

4 credits This is an introductory course in natural resource conservation that will provides comprehensive overview of local, regional, and global resource and environmental issues. Topics will include population growth, soil conservation and agriculture, aquatic environments, air and water pollution, forest and wildlife management, global climate change, and energy usage. Strategic thinking towards sustainability will be a unifying theme in exploring the natural resources we depend upon in our complex, interconnected global environment. Three hours lecture and two hours discussion/lab per week. Prerequisite: ENG100, MAT100, RDG100, or placement. Offered either fall or spring.

3 credits Contemporary issues in biology have been selected that are not relevant to the everyday world of students, but also lend themselves as vehicles for teaching major concepts of biology. Topics include are but not limited to cloning, dietary fat and the food pyramid, artificial hearts, stem cells, blood doping by athletes, mad cow disease, and the use of viruses in combating cancer. The course operates on an issues-approach aimed to educate citizens with an understanding that will enable them to evaluate scientific arguments and make informed decisions affecting their own lives and the well-being of society. Prerequisites: ENG100, MAT100, RDG100, or placement. Offered occasionally.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Biology, as a science, represents a way of interacting with the world in a rational manner. The nature of science, cellular structure and function, the molecules of life, the acquisition and use of energy by living organisms, the code of heredity, principles of genetics and genetic recombination will be considered in this course. Three lecture hours and two lab hours per week. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, or placement. Fall and spring.

3 credits This introductory level biology course integrates the cellular and molecular basis of biology with up-to-date information in an extensive survey of the nature, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of various forms of cancer. In addition, the course is designed to convey the relationship between the process by which science works in basic biomedical research and the advances made in public/personal health. In studying the biology of cancer, students will use online resources and electronic communication. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, or placement. Offered occasionally.

4 credits This course is the study of ecosystems: how they function, achieve balance, and continually change. Environmental science is the study of how humans and other species interact with one another and with the non-living environment. This course will combine the study of ecosystems with an exploration of environmental principles. Local and global environmental issues and their possible solutions will be discussed. The lab focuses on forest, field, and aquatic habitats, with field trips to local sites. Three hours lecture and two hours lab per week. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, or placement. Fall.
