1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Sophomore or junior standing for 397; senior standing for 497 Offered: Typically as student interest and faculty availability allow A course initiated, directed, and organized by two or more students who have a similar interest in the topic proposed. All such courses are to be supported by a faculty sponsor, second reader, academic adviser, Program Director, and possibly others. Course proposals must meet the approval of the Coordinator of Advising (the Academic Program Council liaison). Will be registered by the Office of Academic Services as 397/497A if approved to meet the Active Learning Experience (ALE) or as 397/497B if approved as non-ALE. 1 Course Credit

1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Will vary, but always will include permission of instructor Offered: Typically on a limited basis as student interest and faculty availability allow A course organized and directed by faculty and approved by the Program Director to meet the particular interests and/or needs of specific students. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 010, or permission of instructor Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms A study of the gross and microscopic anatomy of the human body and how it relates to body function. Emphasis is on basic chemistry, cells, tissues, and skeletal, muscular, nervous, and cardiovascular organ systems. This course deals with physiology as an integrating process within the body. Three class periods and one three-hour laboratory period each week. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 101 or permission of instructor Offered: Typically every Spring Term A continuing study of the organ systems of the human body. Emphasis is on the special senses, integumentary, endocrine, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. A cursory study of human development and genetics also is provided. Three class periods and one three-hour laboratory each week. NOTE: This course is noncredit for students who completed it as BIO 302. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Completion or waiver of MAT 012, or permission of instructor; a freshman-level course Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms A foundation course in biology that serves as an introduction to the major. This introduction includes the presentation of the following concepts: general chemical principles, cell structure and function, metabolism, energy pathways, cell division, classical and molecular genetics, and evolution. Historical development and contemporary considerations of these topics will be emphasized. Laboratory exercises will be experimental and descriptive. Three class periods and one three-hour laboratory each week. NOTE: This first-year course is the prerequisite to all Biology courses with the exception of BIO 100, 101, 102, and 207. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 110 with a grade of C- or higher, or permission of instructor; a freshman-level course Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms This core course is designed to allow prospective majors to engage themselves actively in the practice of biology. Its primary objective will be to introduce prospective majors (second term of first year or first term of sophomore year) to methods of experimental design, analysis, scientific writing, and poster or oral presentations of results. Students will be exposed to experimental systems representing various areas of Zoology (e.g., physiology, ecology, development, parasitology, evolution, etc.). Lectures will be limited to providing adequate background information for each research system and analytical tools (i.e., statistics, graphing programs, primary literature) for analyzing data. Two class projects and one group investigative project will be required. Three class periods and one three-hour lab each week. NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed BIO 313. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 110 with a grade of C- or higher; OR permission of instructor; a freshman-level course Offered: Typically Fall and Spring terms The diversity of the major divisions of the Monera, Protista, Fungi, and Plant Kingdoms is studied with emphasis on classification, evolution, morphology, physiology, genetics, and life cycles of organisms. A written report on a botanical topic is required of all students. Three class periods and one three-hour laboratory period each week. NOTE: Noncredit for students who completed BIO 314. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Determined by instructor Offered: See note below A course designed to meet the particular interests of student and faculty. Topics vary from year to year. See course description in the "Schedule of Classes." NOTE: Eight hours of laboratory, library, field, and discussion time to be arranged each week during Fall or Spring Term; full-time during Short Term. 1/2 to 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: EITHER 1) BIO 102, plus CHM 113 or CHM 131 (formerly 121) OR 2) BIO 220 (formerly 320), BIO 323, and CHM 221 (formerly CHM 321) Offered: Typically every Fall Term This course will explore human pathophysiology using a conceptual model that integrates alterations in health across the lifespan as the human body continually monitors and adjusts to the stress of everyday life. The course will be organized around common health problems with three areas of focus: 1) control of normal function, 2) altered function, and 3) the implications of human response. Integration of the physiologic mechanisms of drug therapy and other treatment modalities will be included. The class will consist of three hours of lecture and a two-hour laboratory each week. NOTES: This course may not be used to satisfy any concentration area requirement in the Biology major. Noncredit for students who completed BIO 307. 1 Course Credit
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 110 and BIO 113 (formerly 313), OR permission of instructor; a sophomore-level course Offered: Typically every Fall Term Structure-function relationships are used to study the internal and external morphology of various classes of vertebrates. Variations in structure will be discussed in the context of evolution of form and function. Dissections of representative vertebrates are used to illustrate the major evolutionary changes in vertebrate systems. Three 2-hour class/laboratory periods each week. 1 Course Credit
