4.00 Credits
An introduction to the sitory and diversity of life on earth from its earliest beginnings to the present day. The primary focus of the course is on animals with backbones, although plants invertebrates are also considered. Other topics include systematics, evolution, continental drift, extinction, and biography. Intended to satisfy the General Education requirement.

The focus of this lecture course is on the interactions of humans with their environment. Human impact on the world's ecosystems is emphasized. The theme stressed throughout this course is that every system involving life is dependent upon maintaining balances between nutrient gains and losses, between energy inflows and outflows, and between births and deaths winthin populations. Against this background, various aspects of the human system, such as our use of soils, our disposal of wastes, our use of resources, land, energy, and our population are shown to be out of balance. The consequences of these imbalances are discussed in relation to our political and economic system. Prerequisite: EMS
-
4.00 Credits
Designed to develop lab skills in the basic techniques used to study molecular genetics. Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms are used as models for the experiments. Some of the techniques introduced in the course include DNA isolation, agarose gel electrophoresis, restriction enzymes, gene transfer, gene cloning, southern blot, PCR, RT-PCR, and gene sequencing. In the latter part of the course, the students will be introduced to the Human Genome Project and to some of the techniques used in DNA sequencing and analysis. Prerequisite: EMS
-
4.00 Credits
A regulatory systems approach to the principles of animal physiology, developed through consideration of functioning of cells, tissues, and organ systems with an emphasis on humans. (With 3-hour laboratory). Offered every other semester. Prerequisites: BS2400,BS2410 & CP2110,CP2110 with a grade of "C" or better; ECII placement or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture/lab course designed for students preparing to enter nursing school. The lecture material pertains to structure and morphology of microorganisms, growth and reproduction, bacterial metabolism, diseases caused by microorganisms and various methods of control. The laboratory exercises deal with staining methods, sterilization, identification and characterization of unknowns, and control of microbial populations by physical, chemical, and biological agents. Offered every other year. Prerequisites: BS2400, 2410 with grade of "C" or better; EMS
-
4.00 Credits
The study of plants as biological organisms. Topics include classification and evolution of the plant kingdom: plant anatomy, physiology and reproduction, with emphasis on the flowering plants. Consideration is given to experimental methods used in studying plants and plant studies. Students are expected to complete an experimental project or observational study. Lecture, discussion laboratory and field trips, or audiotutorial in these are presented. Offered on demand. Prerequisites: BS2400, BS2420 with a grade of "C" or better or permission of instructor; ECII placement or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
This lecture/laboratory course introduces the student to the diversity of form and function among the invertebraes using a phylogenetic approach. It emphasizes their importance in ecology, diseases, food sources, and as biomedical models. Laboratory sessions include dissection of representative animals and encourages individual research projects. Prerequisites: BS2400-BS2410 with grade of "C" or better or permission of instructor.
