-
3.00 Credits
An opportunity to explore aquatic/marine biology in an applied setting. This 96-hour internship involves working with a professional outside Stetson. The instructor and the professional with whom the student is working determine the structure of each internship. Prerequisites: BY101, 102.
-
2.00 Credits
Taken in spring of the junior year, a research proposal is written and defended prior to senior research. Prerequisites: BY101, 102 and 203.
-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth course on mechanisms of body function. The course is structured from a systems approach (cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, etc.) and will be focused on human physiology. Cross-disciplinary perspectives from molecular biology to space biology to pathology and disease mechanisms show the integrative nature of physiology as a discipline. Experimental procedures will be introduced to highlight the development of current physiological perspectives. Prerequisites: BY101, 102.
-
4.00 Credits
Structure and function of insects. Identification of Florida specimens will be emphasized in lab. Prerequisites: BY101, 102.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of the relationship between organisms and their environment, with a focus on the factors that influence the abundance and distribution of organisms. In the lab sessions students conduct independent investigations of ecological principles in local habitats. Prerequisites: BY101, 102, 203 and 204.
-
4.00 Credits
Anatomy and physiology of the nervous system with particular emphasis upon cellular and molecular processes. The laboratory is designed to emphasize the multidisciplinary nature of neuroscience by having students design and complete experiments using anatomical, behavioral and physiological techniques. Prerequisites: BY101, 102.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of the mechanisms important to the evolution of organisms. Throughout the course we will use mathematical principles to elucidate evolutionary theories such as natural selection, genetic drift, altruism, and sexual selection. Laboratory exercises will include both computer simulations and manipulative field experiments. Prerequisites: BY101, 102, 203 and 204.
-
4.00 Credits
Molecular biology of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including mechanisms of gene expression and regulation, and practical applications (e.g., disease research, medicine and bioinformatics). The laboratory introduces students to recombinant DNA methods, including restriction endonuclease digestion, gel electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, cloning, and analysis of recombinant proteins. Prerequisites: BY101, 102 and 203. Strongly recommended prerequisite: BY302.
-
4.00 Credits
General principles of nuclear and radiation physics, nuclear instrumentation and dosimetry and radiotracer methodology as applied to health care, treatment, and bioresearch. Experiments using radioisotopes are done to study the effects of ionizing, ultraviolet, and visible light radiation on organisms. Students then use the techniques to perform an experiment they generate. Prerequisites: BY101, 102.
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the use of molecular genetic markers to study the ecology of natural populations. Includes an introduction to ecology, population genetics, phylogenetic theory and computer analysis of molecular data. Lab sessions will include field trips to sample local populations and the use of molecular techniques to analyze these samples. Prerequisites: BY101, 102, 203 and 204.
