4.00 Credits
Principal topics of this course are prokaryotic cell morphology, metabolism, genetics, and growth; microbial control; the human immune system; and infectious diseases. Microbial diversity, their roles in the biosphere, and the ways in which humans use microbes are also discussed. In the lab, students use aseptic techniques, staining, biochemical tests, and other procedures in order to become familiar with basic microbiology techniques and to identify an unknown bacterial culture. The process of science is also discussed in this course, and students create and test hypotheses via the scientific method.
-
4.00 Credits
Theory and techniques commonly used in biotechnology will be explored. Theory topics include structure, function, and synthesis of DNA. RNA, and protein and the conceptual bases of molecular biology techniques, including gel electrophoresis, plasmid preparation, transformation of cells, nucleic acid manipulation, blotting and probing techniques, polymerase chain reaction, and protein purification.

4.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide an understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Basic concepts are emphasized and the following systems are studied in detail: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and special senses. The laboratory work involves related physiology exercises and the dissection of the cat and its comparison to man. Required of all Nursing students.

A continuation of Anatomy and Physiology of the Human I. The following systems are studied in detail: circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine. The laboratory work involves related physiology exercises and the dissection of the cat and its comparison to man. Required of all Nursing students.
-
2.00 Credits
A taxonomic study of families, genera, and species of woody plants, with additional emphasis placed on those important in forestry and related fields. Forest communities, distributions, key usage, and field identification will be integral to this course. Greater emphasis will be placed on the angiosperms than on the gymnosperms.
-
2.00 Credits
A continuation of Dendrology I, with greater emphasis placed on the gymnosperms than on the angiosperms.
-
4.00 Credits
Issues critical to understanding cellular biology will be explored. These include: structure and function of biological macromolecules, enzymology, basic metabolism, membrane mechanics, structure and function of cellular organelles, cell communication, cell division, and cell cycle control. Concepts in genetics include structure and function of genes and chromosomes, genetic variation and gene regulation. This course will allow the student to develop experience in lab safety, good laboratory and manufacturing practice (GMP), documentation of all procedures and use of computers for statistical and graphical data analysis.
-
4.00 Credits
An interdisciplinary study of ecosystems in their natural settings. Emphasis will be placed on plant communities and key animal populations, geology, climate, and the influence of humans as they are related to one another. Studies, which will include lectures and laboratories, will be conducted in the field where specimens will be collected and catalogued. Course may be repeated one time for credit. Course may be taken again as audit status, but all fees and tuition will apply.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Study projects under the direct supervision of the instructor. Library and laboratory research on selected problems. This course may be repeated for credit. Honors credit by contract may be available in some sections of this course. Qualified students should consult the instructor.
