  • BIOL 348: Coastal Ecology

    3.00 Credits
    Vanguard University of Southern California

    Prerequisites: none. Coastal Ecology examines the ecological processes at the interface between land and sea in order to provide an understanding of the coastal environment, how terrestrial and marine systems are intricately connected, and how human activities can impact both. Much of the course consists of field trips in coastal and marine environments. Course will fulfill CORE Curriculum science requirement. Lab fee.

  • BIOL 428: Culture,Health,and Disease:Foundations of Epidemiology

    3.00 Credits
    Vanguard University of Southern California

    Prerequisites: ANTH 102, ANTH 320 and/or ANTH 440; NSCI 210C, KINE 145C, KINE 146C BIOL 204 helpful but not required. This course surveys disease investigation, the uses of epidemiological methods and research, against the back drop of the biology of diseases, human cultural diversity, environmental diversity, and health-seeking or health-thwarting behaviors of population groups. The relationships of human behaviors, social and ecological conditions, mental and ideological states as these impact health and illness are explored. Transmissible diseases are especially targeted for investigation.
