-
3.00 Credits
(3 hrs.) Topics courses are devoted to special subjects that may not be covered in depth in other courses.
-
4.00 Credits
(4 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 182 or permission of instructor; lab fee charged) An introduction to the systematic study of the invertebrates. Using a taxonomic approach, this course will emphasize the structures, physiology, life history and evolution of invertebrates. The lab portion of this course will present students with living and preserved examples of animals for each phyla and will emphasize characteristics that distinguish various groups. Offered periodically.
-
4.00 Credits
(4 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 182 or permission of instructor; lab fee charged) A survey of the anatomy, physiology, zoogeography, evolution and ecology of vertebrate animals. In a mixed laboratory, discussion, and presentation format, students will investigate the major evolutionary changes that have occurred in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Offered periodically.
-
4.00 Credits
(4 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 182 or permission of instructor; lab fee charged) An examination of the transmission, structure and function of genetic material in plants and animals. Course content progresses from classical Mendelian genetics, including the chromosome theory of inheritance, structure and replication, organization and regulation of genetic information of bacterial, eukaryotic and viral genes, to current topics and techniques in molecular biology. Writing intensive. Offered Fall only.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 182 or permission of instructor) A study of the cell as the unit of structure and function of living things. The molecular, metabolic and ultrastructural systems emphasized together with bioenergetics, communication, heredity and gene expression. Offered biannually.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 181 or BIO 182, or BIO 200; cross-listed as FOR 302. Lab fee charged.) This course is designed to use various microscopic techniques to examine trace evidence. The focus will be on how to use a microscope for forensic science and the examination oo9f various mounting and staining techniques of trace evidence. The trace evidence examined will include human and animal hairs, various fibers and plastic fusion, glass, paint, soil, explosives, minerals, dust, drugs and arson. In addition, students will learn the criteria for including or excluding trace evidence, and the preparation of evidence. This class is lab intensive and will use case studies using various techniques.
-
5.00 Credits
(5 hrs.) (Prerequisites: BIO 182, BIO 292, or permission of instructor; lab fee charged) The study of the morphology, physiology, genetics and ecology of important microorganisms of human health and disease, and of environmental concern. Emphasis on bacteria and viruses. Writing intensive. Offered biannually.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 311 or permission of instructor) An advanced introductory course in a rapidly advancing field, using experimental design as a tool to elucidate immunological principles. Includes (1) an introduction to the cells and tissues of the immune system; (2) the molecular mechanisms used by the immune system to recognize antigens and the process of activation of the immune system that results from antigen recognition; (3) a description of the means by which the stimulated immune system eliminates foreign molecules, cells and organisms; and (4) an examination of clinical problems that are primarily immunologic. Writing intensive. Offered periodically.
-
5.00 Credits
(5 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 182 or permission of instructor; lab fee charged) An advanced course in anatomy. Examines the organization of the human body, human embryology, gross and microscopic anatomy of tissues and organ systems and pathology, diseases and developmental abnormalities of the human body. Instruction includes the use of prepared slides, actual mammalian dissections and computer-based human dissection. Offered biannually.
-
4.00 Credits
(4 hrs.) (Prerequisite: BIO 182 or permission of instructor; lab fee charged) An advanced course in human physiology. Examines the function of the human body, including basic cellular processes, regulation and homeostasis of the body, control of body movement, cardiovascular and respiratory physiology, metabolism, reproduction, development, aging and pathology. Instruction will include laboratory experiments and computer-based simulations. Offered biannually.
