-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
1-6 credits Introductory work-learning experience related to career interests for which compensation may be received. Positions arranged by students with sponsorship, approval, and evaluation by full-time faculty. Elective credit only (normally 20 hours per credit) to maximum of 12 credits per degree program. Prerequisites: 24 total credits earned, 2.0 cumulative GPA, and permission of instructor. Graded Pass/Fail.
-
6.00 Credits
1-6 credits An opportunity for a qualified student to explore work in an area of individual interest, selected and pursued in consultation with a faculty member. Consent required of the instructor, who will supervise the independent study. May be repeated to a total of 6 credits. Fall, Spring.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab course focusing on invertebrate anatomy, physiology, behavior, development, ecology, natural history, evolution, and systematics. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
Integrated lecture, laboratory, and field course focusing on vertebrate anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, natural history, evolution, systematics, and conservation. Students will become acquainted with local vertebrate communities and with primary research literature and research methods. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
Integrated lecture, lab and field activities introduce important features of avian anatomy, physiology, behavior, life histories, breeding, ecology, conservation, evolution, and systematics. Students will gain experience in ornithological research and will practice species identification and field observation and reporting. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
This integrated lecture-lab course focuses on the controls and dynamics of ecosystem function and community structure. Some of these fundamental concepts are discussed in the context of human-caused environmental problems. In guided research projects students will learn and apply state-of-the-art methodologies and further develop their skills in scientific investigation. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, BIO 212 or ENST 220, ENST 240, and BIO 210. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture-lab course that examines how interactions between genes, physiology, development, and the environment determine animal behavior; the adaptive value of behavior; and how behavior has changed over evolutionary time. This course will also involve exercises designed to instruct students in the process of conducting independent research in animal behavior. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on functional differences that allow plants to grow and reproduce under extreme environments (deserts, tundra, forests). It also addresses the effect of human-caused environmental changes on plant function. In research projects students will learn and apply state-of-the-art methodologies and further develop skills in scientific investigation. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212 or ENST 220, BIO 110, and BIO 210. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
An exploration of genetic variation and equilibrium in populations, the evolutionary processes responsible for changes in allele and genotype frequencies, and methods of measuring genetic variation and testing population genetic theory. In this integrated lecturelab course, students will develop and evaluate mathematical models and collect and analyze population data. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and MATH 141. Occasionally.
-
3.00 Credits
A lecture-lab course emphasizing the fundamental principles in plant biology, including systematics and evolution, anatomy and morphology, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, conservation biology, and ethnobotany. Lab and field projects will provide first-hand experience with organisms, the process of scientific inquiry, and scientific writing skills. Prerequisites: BIO 210, BIO 211, and BIO 212. Occasionally.
