4.00 Credits
Biogeochemistry. Four semester hours. (Same as ESci 512) Basics about the effects of life on the chemistry of the earth and the impacts of humans in altering the chemistry of the global environment are introduced. Microbial and chemical reactions that occur on land, in the sea and in the atmosphere, and the synthetic view of global biogeochemical cycles are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the chemical reactions that link the elements that are important to life. Prerequisite: Consent of Instructor.%

3.00 Credits
Ecological Genetics. Three semester hours. Ecological genetics is a study of the genetic processes that occur within and among populations and which contribute to population differentiation and microevolution. Topics covered include measures of genetic variation, genetic drift, natural selection and adaptation, phenotypic evolution, the evolution of life histories, sex and reproductive success. Prerequisite: An undergraduate degree in Biology, Wildlife, or related discipline or permission from instructor %

3.00 Credits
Genetic Analysis and Investigation - Three semester hours This course is designed for students with a thorough background in biology and cell biology. Therefore, this course provides students with an in-depth investigation into DNA technology and practical application of genetic study and hereditary disease. Following a brief review of DNA structure, function, nature of genes and mendelian genetics an extension of mendelian analysis is explored. Emphasis will be placed on eucharyotic mapping, mapping techniques, recombinant DNA technology and practical applications. Next, comprehension of genetic mutations at the nucleotide, and chromosomal level is sought in the context of aging and human disease. Students are expected to gain an in-depth understanding of basic principles and concepts of genetics at the molecular level, to learn to reason scientifically, and to understand and describe the cooperative function of genes in cells. Prerquisites: An undergraduate degree in Biology or related discipline or permission from instructor. %

3.00 Credits
Pharmacology - Principles and Practise - Three semester hours This course is designed for graduate students with a thorough background in biology and cell biology. Therefore, this course provides students with a greater understanding of general concepts of pharmacology. Specific drugs and sites of drug action are examined beginning with the peripheral, followed by the central nervous system. We then will focus on the pharmacology of the endocrine system and conclude with drugs affecting the immune system. Emphasis will be distribution, metabolism and transport as well excretion of drugs. In each system pharmacological effects, cautions and contraindications are discussed. Clinical indications and hypothetical scenarios are discussed. Students are expected to gain an in-depth understanding of basic principles and concepts of drugs at the molecular levels, to learn to reason scientifically, and to understand and describe the cooperative function of pharmacology in body systems. Prerquisites: An undergraduate degree in Biology or related discipline or permission from instructor. %

3.00 Credits
Advanced Cell Biology - Three semester hours This course is designed for graduate students with a thorough background in biology and cell biology. Therefore, this course provides students with a greater understanding of molecular mechanisms of cellular function. Emphasis will be placed on internal organization of the cell. Students are expected to gain an in-depth understand of basic principles and concepts of eukaryotic cells at the molecular levels, to learn to reason scientifically, and to understand and describe the cooperative function of organelles in the specialized cells. Prerequisite: An undergraduate degree in Biology or related discipline or permission from instructor %

3.00 Credits
Pathogenic Microbiology. Three semester hours. A study of advanced contemporary knowledge in pathogenic microbiology. Prerequisite: Graduate standing, An undergraduate degree in Biology or related discipline or permission from instructor.%
-
3.00 - 6.00 Credits
Thesis. Six semester hours. A problem is chosen in the student's major field of interest with approval of the major professor. No credit is given until an acceptable thesis is completed. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.%
-
3.00 Credits
Vertebrate Endocrinology This course is designed for graduate students with a thorough background in biology and cell biology. Therefore, this course provides students with a greater understanding of molecular, developmental, and network mechanisms of endocrine function. After a basic introduction of endocrinology and basic mechanisms, emphasis and focus will be placed on individual tissues and their respective hormones including the pituitary, hypothalamus, neurohypophysial, gastrointestinal, pancreatic adrenal, thryroid and reproductive systems. Medical implications and pathology will be a major area of focus. Students are expected to gain an in-depth understanding of basic principles and concepts of hormones and their various activities and ultimate outcomes, to learn to reason scientifically, and to understand and describe the cooperative function of tissues in this universal system. Prerquisites: An undergraduate degree in Biology or related discipline or permission from instructor. %
