-
3.00 Credits
This course is a detailed study of the structure and function of the eukaryotic cell, with an emphasis on the cell membrane and the cytoplasmic organelles. Current concepts in cell communication, molecular targeting within cells and between cells are included in the topics of study. .
-
4.00 Credits
A presentation of embryonic development and differentiation in higher animals, including the human, with emphasis on underlying mechanisms, experimental and molecular aspects, and current concerns such as fetal research, cloning, genetic engineering, and stem cells. Laboratory work includes the study of normal development in live embryos, and an introduction to techniques of experimental embryology and tissue culture. Prerequisites: BIO 122 and at least one year of chemistry strongly recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of later development in vertebrates in general, but particularly in the human fetus, with emphasis on how complex organs are formed, how their specific patterns come into existence, and the defects in the process that result in developmental abnormalities. Prerequisites: BIO 122 and 301 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A general study of the vertebrate endocrine system, including the structure of the glands, the nature and properties of hormones, the control of hormonal secretion, and the mechanisms of hormone action. Prerequisites: CHE 211 and CHE 212 highly recommended; BIO 122 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introductory course in genetics. All aspects of genetics will be introduced including the areas of classical, population, biochemical, and molecular genetics. The laboratory will carry the concepts developed in the course to the bench. Students will develop and run their own research experiment, from experimental design to data collection, and culmination of their research in a formal presentation as a research paper and PowerPoint presentation.
-
4.00 Credits
Molecular biology is an introductory course in the function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells at the molecular level, with a strong emphasis on chromosome and gene structure. This course will focus on the regulation and control of cellular activity at the molecular level. The laboratory teaches the essential techniques used in molecular biology. Students will design and execute their own experiment using techniques learned in the lab. Prerequisites: CHE 211 and BIO 321; CHE 212 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will focus on the study of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms with special emphasis on intermediary metabolism, acid-base balance, and hormone regulation. Laboratory techniques utilizbasic biochemical techniques for the study of enzymes and other biologically important molecules. Prerequisites: CHE 211-212 and one course in biology, or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This communication-intensive course is a capstone experience for biology majors. Through student research, writing, presentations, and discussions, the course will explore in depth an important contemporary biological topic that has interdisciplinary aspects. Open only to third and fourth year students.
-
2.00 - 6.00 Credits
This course allows participation in directed laboratory research, grant-funded research, or independent study in some area of biology under the guidance, and with the permission, of one of the faculty. It is open to second, third, and fourth year biology majors and minors. It may be taken for one or two credits per semester until a maximum of six credits is attained. The minimum requirement is two credits, which may be earned in one or two semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
To meet the challenges created by the increasingly important role that technology plays in our society, in this course students will gain hands-on experience with the most recent and widely used software programs. Students will complete introductory and advanced projects in Excel and Access. Students will also use resources found on the Internet to complete their projects.
