This course deals with the origins, nature and definitions of life, internal and external factors (especially astronomical factors) that may affect earth's environment, evidence for planetary systems around other stars, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). This course should be attrative to both non-science and science students. (3 hrs lecture- 2hrs laboratory)

This course deals with recent information about the surfaces , atmospheres, interiors and evolution of the sun, planets and other bodies in our solar system. Students will explore how the information was obtained and the theories with which it has been interpreted. Emphasis is given to the solar- terrestrial connection, the solor nebula theory, and the discipline of comparative planetology.

In this course, students are introduced to the theories, instruments and methods such as motion, chemical composition , surface gravity and temperature through which astronomers determine information about stars and planets. A unique and major component of this course will be hands-on work by the students; they will analyze astronomical data which they themselves obtain, using instrumentation at the WCSU Westside and Midtown observatories.

3.00 Credits
Open to senior astronomy majors only, this course will consist of an individual research project designed to give experience in data gathering, reduction and analysis. The use of modern astronomical instruments and image reduction and analysis facilities will be emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
The content of this course may vary depending on the interests of students. Aspects of astronomy not covered in AST 200 level and higher will be introduced
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory biology course for non-majors, addressing fundamental biological principles using microorganisms as a focus for thought and discussion. In the laboratory, students will carry out inquiry-based investigation that require group cooperation and discussion. Topics include the role of microbes in maintaining the biosphere, microbes and human health, and microorganisms in research and applied technologies. Spring semester, odd- numbered years.
-
3.00 Credits
The characteristics of representative vertebrate and invertebrate animals are studied. The course is oriented to a phylogenetic approach, progressing from simple to complex forms. Consideration is given to functional anatomy, behavior and the role of the animal in its ecosystem. Animal dissection is a requirement in the laboratory portion of this course. (3 hrs lecture - 3 hrs lab.)
-
3.00 Credits
In this course the structure, reproduction, physiology and ecology of the major plant groups (algae, fungi, mosses and vascular plants) are considered. Environmental, economical and practical aspects of plants are studied. Laboratories complement the lectures. A field trip to the New York Botanical Gardens is included. (3hrs lecture - 3 hrs laboratory)
