3.00 Credits
This course consists of a study of the morphology and anatomy of representative invertebrate animals from a phylogenetic approach. The increasing complexity of each of the representative types is discussed.

3.00 Credits
A comparative study made of the vertebrate classes. The anatomy, physiology, evolution and behavior of the vertebrate classes will be surveyed, with an emphasis on the phylogenetic continuity of structures and functions. The laboratory will stress anatomy and while lectures will stress physiology and evolution. A comparative study made of the vertebrate classes.

3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the physiology of animals. Although mammals will be emphasized, invertebrates and other vertebrates will also be covered. Anatomy pertinent to physiology will be discussed. Laboratory experiments complement lecture material and introduce students to variouslaboratory techniques. Spring semester.

3.00 Credits
This course will survey the major groups of plants, including fungi, algae, mosses, ferns and seed plants. General aspects of the structure, function, reproduction, adaptation, ecology and evolution will be considered. The regional flora will be used to illustrate the major plant groups.
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes the growth and development of the plant and its parts, the relation of plants to water and minerals, and the effects of environmental factors on plant morphology, photosynthesis, and respiration.

The biological basis of natural animal behavior will be studied with a stress on ecological and evolutionary considerations. Mechanisms of social behavior will be examined, as will specific examples of social systems.

3.00 Credits
This course will consider the diversity of land plants in evolutionary and ecological contexts. A phylogenetic framework will be used to explore relationships between plant form and function. The regional flora will be emphasized to illustrate major plant groups. One full-day Saturday field trip is required.

2.00 Credits
This course is intended for non-biology majors. In the course we will survey important microorganisms found in our environment, with special attention given to those that parasitize humans and animals. Lectures include structure, metabolic activities, control and host response to infection. Laboratory provides supporting study of all groups, with emphasis on the culture, identification and metabolic activities of bacteria. Fall semester. This course is intended for non-biology majors.

2.00 Credits
This course is intended for biology and medical technology majors. In this introductory course students will study the fundamental structural and metabolic characteristics of microorganisms (mainly prokaryotes) and will learn basic techniques for enrichment, selection, isolation, enumeration and identification. In the course we will address not only the ability of microorganisms to cause disease, but also their role in research, thier importance in functional ecosystems and thier economic significance. Spring semester, even numbered years. This course is intended for biology and medical technology majors.

Cancer biology will introduce the student to cancer in the context of abnormal cell division and specialization. A study of the history, current status and likely future aspects of our understanding of this disease will be undertaken.
