3.00 Credits
Biological Aspects of Aging Pre: Communications Proficiency Co: Introduction to the theories of aging. The course surveys biological and physiological aspects of aging which will include the genetic, immunological, nutritional, as well as consideration of those aging factors which affect the integumentary, skeletal, dental, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems. Fulfills open and liberal arts electives. (3 hours of lecture per week)
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the Cell Pre: Co: CHE101 or CHE103 or CHE114 A study of eucaryotic procaryotic cell. Course emphasizes their similarities and their differences in regard to structure, metabolism, and reproduction. Material presented includes basic concepts upon which many of our biotechnology processes are based. (Primarily for students interested in the Biotechnology program.) Fulfills open, liberal arts, and with BIO102 or BIO142, laboratory science sequence electives (3 hours of lecture, 2 hours of lab per week)
-
3.00 Credits
Ecology of the Rainforest Pre: Communications Proficiency Co: An introduction to the ecology of the rainforest. Both temperate and tropical forests are discussed, but the emphasis is on tropical forests. The concept of biodiversity is introduced and applied in the study of the Olympic Peninsula, Central America, Amazonia, Southeast Asia, Hawaii, and Australia. The course covers some of the environmental, social and economic problems associated with their use and destruction. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and with BIO101 and BIO130 or with BIO132, fulfills laboratory science sequence electives.
-
3.00 Credits
Neotropical Ecology Pre: Communications and Mathematics Proficiencies Co: A field study in the rainforests of Central America led by trained naturalists. The course will include hikes into different types of rainforests where the ecology of the area will be studied. The areas explored may be different each trip. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and with BIO101 and BIO128, fulfills laboratory science sequence electives. (92 hours of field study and 12 hours of seminar)
-
4.00 Credits
Rainforest Field Study Pre: Communications and Math Proficiencies* Co: This is an independent study course that is taken at the LaSuerte Biological Field Station in Costa Rica or the Ometepe Biological Field Station in Nicaragua. Students will live at the station for approximately 22 days where they will work with a University Professor. With help from the professor, students are expected to design and conduct an individualized research project. The areas of study offered vary from year to year. Fulfills open and liberal arts electives and when taken with BIO128 Ecology of the Rainforest, serves as a laboratory science sequence elective. *Instructor interview is a required prerequisite. (132 hours of field study)
-
4.00 Credits
Biology 2: Marine Biology Pre: Communications and Math Proficiencies; BIO101 An introduciton to the marine environment with specific consideration given to ecological processes and adaptations. Special emphasis is placed on the New England area. Laboratory includes several field trips. Fulfills open and liberal arts electives and when taken with BIO101 serves as a laboratory science sequence elective. (3 hours lecture, 2 hours lab per week)
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to Ecology Pre: BIO101 or BIO124 Co: The course is an introduction to the basic principles of ecology. It includes population genetics, biodiversity, species interactions, energy cycles and a brief coverage of the major biomes. The laboratory is closely aligned with the lecture materials and includes some fieldwork. Fulfills open, liberal arts, and when taken with BIO101 or BIO124, fulfills laboratory science sequence electives. (3 hours of lecture, 2 hours of lab per week)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to Bird Biology Pre: Communications Proficiency Co: This course covers the basics of bird biology including anatomy, behavioral patterns and ecology with emphasis on the birds of North America, particularly the North Shore. The field trips emphasize bird identification and basic observation and identification techniques. They also present an opportunity to observe local birds in their natural habitats. Several field trips may require up to a mile of walking over mostly gently terrain. All walking will be slow paced. Fulfills open and liberal arts electives.
-
4.00 Credits
Molecular Biology Pre: BIO105 with 'C' or better Co: This course builds upon the cellular and molecular concepts acquired in General Bilogy 1. Subjects include Drosophila and yeast tetrad genetics, linkage and mapping studies, anatomy and function of a gene through mutational studies; the Human Genome Project, polymorphisms and positional cloning, systems biology and proteomics, and mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes. The laboratory will introduce the major techniques used in molecular biology. (3 lecture hours and 3 lab hours per week)
-
3.00 Credits
Human Diseases and Conditions Pre: BIO103 or HLS102 with 'C' or better Co: BIO104 This course presents the symptoms, etiology, diagnoses and treatment of many of the most frequently encountered diseases, conditions and disorders of the human body. Fulfills open, liberal arts electives.
