0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: High school Biology or higher Provides framework for understanding the concepts of evolutionary biology. Offers an overview by focusing on the nature of species and how they interact in ecological systems to drive evolutionary change. Students examine the genetic nature of evolution and recognize the role of DNA and proteins in development of new features in an organism. Other subjects include the role of biodiversity, development, evolution of sex, cooperation and behavior, infectious disease, and human evolution. Course is intended for both major and non-major biology students. (6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: high school chemistry or CHEM 1100, high school biology in the last five years; or BIOL 1200 This course introduces the organization of the human body in the context of the unifying concepts of feedback regulation and homeostasis. The course assumes a general knowledge of cell structure and function and begins with a study of tissues and a general introduction to organs and systems. It then provides detailed study of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. This course has both a lecture and laboratory component. This course and BIOL 2220 Anatomy and Physiology II provide students with a general introduction to the biology of the human body. All students are strongly encouraged to take BIOL 1200 Fundamentals of Biology for the Health Technologies or BIOL 1510 Principles of Biology I prior to taking this course. (6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 2210 This course continues the study of the human body begun in BIOL 2210 Anatomy and Physiology I. The course examines the relationships between endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, reproductive and urinary body systems along with the regulatory mechanisms which integrate them. The course also includes considerations of nutrient absorption and delivery, metabolism, excretory function, and acid-base balance. This course has both a lecture and laboratory component. This course and BIOL 2210 provide students with a general introduction to the biology of the human body. (6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab)
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 1520 or BIOL 2210 or admission to the Biotechnology Science program This course, designed for allied health and biotechnology science students, introduces the study of microorganisms and their impact on human health. It focuses on the interactions between human hosts and microbes as well as microbial cell organization, patterns of growth and metabolism, and identifications of medically important microbes. Topics include bacterial cell structure and function; bacterial growth and reproduction; physical and chemical control methods of microbes; relevant characteristics of medically important bacteria; general characteristics of fungi, protozoa, and viruses, and human diseases caused by these microbes; disease transmission; microbial pathogenesis; host defense mechanisms; antimicrobial drugs; and microbial drug resistance. This course has both a lecture and a laboratory component. (6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab)
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 1510 or equivalent This course introduces the principles and applications of immunology for science majors. It provides basic knowledge of the human immune system, including the molecules, cells, and processes involved in the body's defense against infections. Topics include homeostasis, microbial pathogenicity, structures and functions of the immune systems, immunization, monoclonal antibodies, techniques and applications of immunological tests, immunodeficiency and hypersensitivity, transplantation immunology, and cancer immunology. This is a non-laboratory course. (2 contact hours)
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
These specialized courses provide in-depth examinations of biology concepts at the cellular, ecological, or organismic level, which are not covered in detail elsewhere in the curriculum. BIOSCIENCE TECHNOLOGY
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the field of biotechnology. The course addresses applications of biotechnology to the medical, agricultural, environmental and chemical industries. Discussions will include the safety, ethical, regulatory, and proprietary issues of the application of biotechnology to industry and healthcare. (3 contact hours)
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Bioscience Technology Program entry requirements This course introduces students to the fundamental knowledge and techniques associated with the operation of a laboratory engaged in biotechnology. The course includes the instruction and application of laboratory mathematics, biostatistics, good laboratory practice, and laboratory safety. Students will record the procedures, data, and analysis of laboratory activities. Students will learn experimental techniques, including reagent preparation, cell culture, filtration, centrifugation, spectroscopy, and microscopy. Students must supply a scientific calculator. (9 contact hours: 3 lecture, 6 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 1510, BIOS 1200, CHEM 1500; or permission of instructor This course introduces students to the chemistry of biological systems. It emphasizes the chemical structures, regulation, biological roles and metabolism of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Laboratory exercises will focus on basic techniques of isolation and characterization of biomolecules, including separation, chemical reactivity, and kinetics. Students will record experimental procedures, data, and interpretations. (6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOS 1500 or permission of instructor This course includes specialized study of the theory and methodology of the separation and some subsequent characterization of biomolecules. Chromatographic techniques discussed and employed will include affinity, thin layer, paper, gas, ion exchange, and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The course emphasizes separation and specific identification of proteins. Students will record experimental procedures, data, and interpretations. (8 contact hours: 2 lecture, 6 lab)
