3.00 Credits
An examination of the biology of disease in developing countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. This course will explore the biology of infectious diseases and their influences on history and culture of these regions as well as the social and economic impact of disease for contemporary societies. Topics addressed will also include prospects for change through current scientific research on treatment and control. Prerequisites: BIOL 117 and BIOL 119. Credits: 3(3-0) Offered every spring
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of structure, classification, ecology, evolution, and physiology of the major groups of invertebrate animals. (Field trips are sometimes scheduled outside the regular class period.) Prerequisites: BIOL 117 and BIOL 119. Credits: 4(3-3) Offered every spring
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the classification, structure, physiology, behavior, and ecology of the classes of vertebrates is presented through lectures and laboratory exercises. Prerequisites: BIOL 117 and BIOL 119. Credits: 4(3- 3) Offered every fall
-
3.00 Credits
Quantitative analysis in the biological sciences involves understanding the scientific method, experimental design, sampling theory, graphs, and data analysis and interpretation. Students will develop and test hypotheses using statistics and graphing techniques in computer-based laboratory exercises. This course may count as a Biology elective (but it does not count toward the laboratory course requirements) OR serve as the computer science/statistics related requirement. Prerequisites: BIOL 116. Credits: 3(2-2) Offered spring, odd years
-
3.00 Credits
A general course in ornithology to permit the student to identify local species of birds in the field. Lectures cover classification, migration, coloration, song, nest building, care of the young, methods of attracting birds, and economic and ecological importance of birds. (Field laboratories are emphasized. One or two optional Saturday field trips are included.) Prerequisites: BIOL 117 and BIOL 119 or permission of instructor. Credits: 3(2- 3) Offered when demand is sufficient
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the fundamental principles and facts of Human Physiology with a focus on the methods of biological control present in the main organ systems. This will be coupled to an understanding of the major concepts of animal physiology. The lab will consist of experimental work examining the major physiological systems of the human using both computer and bench work using human and animal models. This course may not be used for the major if taken after Biology 364 - Animal Physiology. Prerequisites: BIOL 117 and BIOL 119. Credits: 4(3-3) Offered every spring
-
3.00 Credits
For the non-major or Biology minor who is interested in the genetics of humans and the impact of genetics on human life. Topics such as human genetic disorders, social genetics, race and speciation, mutations, and agricultural genetics are discussed throughout the course. May not be used toward the major. Prerequisites: One 100-level course in biology or permission of instructor. Credits: 3(3-0) Offered every fall
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to molecular and structural organization of the eukaryotic cell. Topics include: the plasma membrane, internal membranes, synthesis of proteins, membrane bound organelles, photosynthesis and respiration, the cytoskeleton and motility, cell growth and division, hormones and receptors, and nerve cells and electrical properties of membranes. Prerequisites: BIOL 222 and CHEM 211. Credits: 3(3-0)
-
3.00 Credits
Selected experiments in cell biology that illustrate some of the basic principles, techniques and experimental models in current use. Prerequisites: or co-requisite: BIOL 300. Credits: 1(0-3) Offered every fall
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the interactions within biological populations and communities. Emphasis is placed upon the dynamics and evolution- ary consequences of these interactions. Prerequisites: BIOL 203 and BIOL 222, MATH 221 recommended. Credits: 3(3-0) Offered every fall
