-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of contemporary astronomy and astrophysics. Emphasis is on methods of data acquisition and analysis and application of principals of modern physics, light, thermodynamics, and general relativity. Topics include stellar and galactic astrophysics, space-time geometry, cosmology, and planetary exploration. Knowledge of algebra, logarithms, and fundamental physics principles are expected. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the life processes from the molecular to the physiological level using an integrated lecture and lab experience. Topics include the chemistry of macromolecules, cell structure and function, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and gene expression. Use of experimental inquiry to integrate course content into a physiological context. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab experience that introduces the basic principles of heredity, evolution, and systematics. Students will investigate variation within and among species, evolutionary patterns, processes, and innovations, evidences of evolutionary change, and social controversies surrounding this concept. Lab and field projects include experience with scientific method and communication. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
This integrated lecture-lab course explores the basic concepts and mechanisms that explain the abundance and distribution of organisms at the individual, population, community, and ecosystem levels. Field and lab exercise emphasize the basics of sampling and experimental design, hypothesis formation, spreadsheet use, statistics, data presentation, and scientific proposal writing. Prerequisite: BIO 111. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab treatment of transmission, chromosomal, and population genetics; gene mapping, genetic interactions, and mutations; and historical and social aspects of genetics. Assignments emphasize quantitative analysis and the use of experimental and statistical hypotheses. Lab activities promote familiarity with model organisms and the execution and presentation of genetic experiments. Prerequisites: MATH 141, BIO 110, and BIO 111. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab experience using animal, microbial, and plant models to introduce fundamentals of physiology and cell biology. Topics include the cell cycle, apoptosis, motility and locomotion, the endocrine system and cell signaling, the nervous system and neuronal function, and animal metamorphoses. Prerequisite: BIO 110 and BIO 111. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture-lab experience covering the structure and function of the human body for students in physical education and allied health programs. Body organization and terminology, basic chemistry, the cell, histology, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, sensory, central, and somatic nervous systems. Prerequisite: INCHEM 100, INCHEM 103, or INCHEM 111, depending on the requirements of a student’s major. Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of BIO 230. A lecture-lab experience covering the structure and function of the endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and autonomic nervous systems, and consideration of metabolism, nutrition, heredity, and regulation of temperature, fluid, electrolytes, and acid-base balance. Prerequisite: BIO 230. Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to cell and microbial biology. Topics include basic biological chemistry, microbial cell structure and function, and microbial physiology and genetics. Experimental inquiry into areas of food microbiology, including food production, food spoilage, and food-borne diseases, will integrate course content into the health science context. Prerequisites: Students must be health science majors in their sophomore year and have taken or be enrolled in HLSC 215. A background in basic chemistry is also recommended. Spring.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1-4 credits Exploration and analysis of major topics of biology, such as human genetics, algae and fungi, marine biology, freshwater ecology, and biological aspects of sexual reproduction. Prerequisite: permission of instructor.
