    This course will provide students with the basic knowledge of DNA technology and its application and significant benefits to humanity. The topics include the foundation and methods of DNA technology, pharmaceutical application, DNA analysis and diagnosis, gene therapy, forensics, DNA investigation, transgenic research and the human genome project. The course will also provide the relevant background and understanding of basic molecular biology techniques used in DNA technology. Students may receive Biology credit for this course or BIOL 322 but not both. Prerequisites: BIOL 222. Credits: 3(3-0) Offered every fall.
  • 3.00 Credits

    Focuses on understanding the evolution, distribution and threats to biodiversity. Emphasis is placed on understanding the important aspects of genetics and population biology that impact the management and protection of species and populations of conservation concern. The course will also examine the theory and practice of reserve design and other conservation measures used in a variety of situations worldwide. This course may be used for elective credit in the Biology major. Prerequisites: BIOL 203. Credits: 3(3-0) Offered every fall
  • 3.00 Credits

    An examination of the patterns and processes of evolution from the perspective of several subdisciplines within biology. Prerequisites: BIOL 203 and BIOL 222. Credits: 3(3- 0) Offered spring, odd years
  • 3.00 Credits

    The course addresses the intersection of quantitative genetics, population genetics, evolutionary theory, and genomic analysis. May be used for elective credit for Biology degree. Prerequisites: BIOL 222 and junior status. Credits: 3(2-2) Offered every spring
  • 3.00 Credits

    A lecture and field course treating the nature, methodologies, and problems of plant taxonomy. Aspects of nomenclature, classification, and floristics are treated. Representative families of vascular plants are studied with particular reference to the local flora. (At least two field trips are required outside of class hours.) Prerequisites: BIOL 222. Credits: 4(2-4) Offered every fall
  • 3.00 Credits

    An introduction to the organization and dynamics of the biological communities that dominate freshwater and marine habitats, emphasizing key ecological processes common to all aquatic habitats. Environmental threats to the integrity of aquatic communities and issues related to conservation will serve as a focus for readings and class discussions. The laboratory will emphasize field surveys and practical techniques, both analytical and quantitative. Participation on a field trip to a marine station is required. Prerequisites: BIOL 203. Credits: 4(3-3) Offered fall, odd years
  • 3.00 Credits

    This is an intensive, field-based course that looks at a specific region, its biological diversity and the physical and biotic factors that are significant in controlling this diversity. A variety of organisms will be considered with most attention given to organisms that are most readily observed (common plants, vertebrates and insects). Students will learn about specific organisms and understand how their structure, physiology and behavior influence their distribution and thereby the diversity of a region. The course will take advantage of the unique features of a particular region to consider the processes and the physical and biological attributes that contribute to the biodiversity of a region. May be taken once for major credit. Prerequisites: BIOL 203, BIOL 222, or permission of the instructor. Credits: 3(2-3)
  • 3.00 Credits

    An advanced course dealing with genetic and regulatory mechanisms at the cell and molecular level. Students may receive Biol- ogy credit for this course or BIOL 304, but not both. Prerequisites: BIOL 300, CHEM 300 or CHEM 302. Credits: 3(3-0) Offered every fall
  • 3.00 Credits

    Theory and application of the principles of immunology. Analysis by immune reactions and the use of systems in assessment of biologic function are included, with attention to the specialized procedures of fluorescent antibodies and radioimmunoassay. Prerequisites: BIOL 300. Credits: 4(3-3) Offered every fall
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course looks at the molecular origins of cancer with emphasis on understanding oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and their role in signal transduction and the cell cycle. The course will examine the discovery of viral oncogenes, cellular oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and relate them to current therapeutic approaches. The course will also cover topics in cancer prevention and treatment and look at some of the most common tumor types. Prerequisites: BIOL 300. Credits: 3(3-0) Offered spring, even years
