4.00 Credits
Lecture/laboratory course presenting the fundamental principles of genetics, the molecular biology of the gene, and heredity in humans. Through lecture, readings, laboratories, and discussions, students examine the the experimental evidence leading to currently accepted concepts, and critically analyze the implications of various findings in human genetics. Offered every other year. Prerequisites: BS2400,BS2410; ECII placement or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture /laboratory course dealing with cellular and humoral aspects of mammalian immune system. Course is divided between study of basic principles governing the immune response, and analysis of molecular immunology. Laboratory component explores modern and technological assays of immunology. Offered every other year. Prerequisites: BS2400,BS2410,CP2120,CP2130 with "C" or better; instructor permission; ECII placement or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
The study of populations and communities of organisms and the interactions of organisms within their environment. Topics include ecosystem analysis, energy flow, nutrient cycles and limiting factors, community structure, biomes, associations, succession, adaptation, and niche analysis, population growth and structure, competition and predator prey relations. Considerations given to experimental investigations, including computer modeling. Students are expected to complete a field or laboratory project, or library report. Field trips and lab excercises comprise important components of this course. Offered every other year. Prerequisites: BS2400,BS2410;ECII placement or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
A lecture/discussion and laboratory course dealing with the structure and function of freshwater systems such as lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. Topics include the study of the physical and chemical properties of fresh water habitats, their biotic composition, and their productivity. Problems related to water pollution are discussed. Field trips and lab exercises comprise important componenents of this course. Students are expected to conduct an independent research project. Offered on demand. Prerequistes: BS2400 BS2410; CP2120
-
4.00 Credits
Focus is on marine ecosystems, with particular emphasis on problems associated with intertidal and shallow water (off shore) habitats. Field trips and laboratory exercises class discussions and reading assignments on such topics as food-chain dynamics (trophic levels); zonation ; population interactions effects of physical factors( temperature, salinity, sediment size, and compostion, etc. ) on marine biota productivity, and pollution. Offered on demand. Prerequisites: ability to swim; by permission of instructor only.
-
4.00 Credits
Intensive five-week course with a ten-day field componenent in Jamaica, West Indies. The subject is examined from both orgasnismic and habitat approaches. The on-campus time will include lectures and labs exploring invertebrate ecology, itchyology, oceonography and the varied habitats of coral reefs, shore zones and mangroves. The pool will be used to check swimming ability and introduce snorkeling. Extra costs include airfare and room and board. Offered on demand. Prerequisites: ability to swim; by permission of instructor only.
-
4.00 Credits
A lecture/laboratory course designed to introduce students to the study of microbial ecosystems. An inquiry-based learning approach will be used. Offered every other year. prerequisites:BS2400-BS2410 with grades of"C" or better; CP2120;EC11.
-
4.00 Credits
A lecture/laboratory course introducing the field of animal behavior. Lectures, discussions and films explore topics including the cultural basis of behavior, the organization and physiology of the nervous system and its role in controlling behavior, the endocrine basis of behavior, genetic basis of behavior and sociobiology. Offered every other year. Prerequisite: BS2400-BS2410;ECII placement or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture course designed to familiarize students with intracellular communication mechanisms and how they are used to promote intercellular interactions. Includes concepts as they relate to neurobiology; ephatic and synaptic transmission; neurophysiology/ neuropharmacology; selected topics relating to mental health, narcotic addiction, etc. Offered every other year. Completion of BS4400 recommended. Prerequisites: BS2400,BS2410;CP2120;ECII placement or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture/laboratory course to introduce students to both the theoretical and practical aspects of molecular biology. An understanding of molecular biology necessiates a synthesis of information from genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, physics and chemistry. The course will include microbial studies, cellular components, genes, regulation etc. The lab component will utilize techniques of genetic engineering. Offered every other year. Prerequisites: BS2400-2410;CP2120-2130 with a "C" or better, or instructor permission
