Prerequisite: ESL 033 or ENG 025 or ENG 007 LEC 3 hrs., LAB 3 hrs., Course fee $60 Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology I is an introduction to the basic structures and functions of vertebrate organ systems that primarily emphasizes those of mammalian species. Among the topics addresses are vertebrate development and evolutionary history, directional terms, cells, body tissues, the skeletal system, articulations, muscular system, and nervous system. The course also discusses normal homeostatic mechanisms and pathophysiological conditions as well as the interrelationships among organs and organ systems. Dissection is required as part of the laboratory syllabus.

Prerequisite: BIO 134 LEC 3 hrs., LAB 3 hrs., Course fee $60 Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology II is a continuation of Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology I. It focuses on the basic structures and functions of vertebrate organ systems that primarily emphasize those of mammalian species. Among the topics addressed are the integumentary, cardiovascular, immune/lymphatic, respiratory, gastrointestinal (GI)/digestive, reproductive, urinary/excretory, endocrine, and immune systems. The course also discusses normal homeostatic mechanisms and pathophysiological conditions as well as the interrelationships among organs and organsystems. Dissection is required during laboratory sessions.

LEC 3 hrs. LAB 3 hrs. Course fee $60 A basic introduction to the world of microbial life and how microorganisms influence and impact everything from medicine to environmental issues to global politics. Gain an appreciation and understanding of the benefits and risks of sharing this planet with more than a million different types of microorganisms that existed over several billion years before us and understand who is winning the battle of continued survival. Emerging infectious disease topics will be discussed as well as vaccines and antibiotic resistance. This is offered as a hybrid course in which approximately half of the class time is spent outside of the classroom with faculty-guided assignments based on internet-streaming videos and activities followed by weekly meetings in class discussing topics related to the videos and performing related laboratory exercises.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Permission of honors coordinator or department LEC 3 hrs., LAB 0 hrs, Course fee $40. An introduction to the biological sciences through a study of principles and concepts basic to the major discipline of biology. Topics include fundamentals of chemistry, cell structure and function, the nature of biological molecules, energetic synthesis and the morphology and physiology of animals and plants. Dissection is required as part of the laboratory syllabus. Lecture and laboratory will use an investigatory approach to topics and stress both individual and team research into theory, methodology, and experimental design and project completion.
