-
4.00 Credits
Students gain knowledge of the evolution, anatomy, physiology, and ecology of animals. Students demonstrate the ability to compare, contrast, and classify animals based upon shared derived characteristics. Students dissect preserved specimens using safe procedures. This course has lecture plus three hours of lab time and fulfills a lab science requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 1010.
-
4.00 Credits
Students gain knowledge of how plants and fungi have evolved, what ecological roles they play in the world, and how species are important to humans. Students also contrast and classify plants and fungi and related organisms through their structure and function. This course is offered during fall semesters. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 1010.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of BIOL 1390. Motivated students continue to perform scientific research at a higher level than BIOL 1390. Research II students work more independently in all aspects of research, including designing experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and writing scientific literature. Research II students provide leadership for a small group of Research I students, being a "project leader" for an experiment. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 1390 and instructor consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Ecology is the study of organisms and their interactions with other individuals, species, and their environment through space and time. In this introductory course, students develop a foundation in the theoretical, empirical, and analytic study of ecology. Students demonstrate an understanding of ecological principles through assigned readings, group discussions, review of current literature, exams, and written assignments. This course is offered during fall semesters. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 1010.
-
2.00 Credits
A field course in ecology. Students gain experience in the fundamental methods, techniques, and tools in ecological research including developing testable ecological hypotheses, experimental design, field sampling, data collection, and analysis. Students demonstrate knowledge gained through participation in field studies, readings, group discussions, and oral and written assignments. This course is offered during fall semesters. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 2400 (may be concurrently enrolled) or consent of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Students explore various methodologies employed in biological research, including experimental design, literature searches, data collection, analysis, and research report writing. Students may be required to present their work in a public forum. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A field trip study of the biological characteristics of various locations. Students identify plants, animals, fungi, and/or protists native to the ecosystem as well as these organisms' adaptation to the ecosystem under study. Students utilize the scientific method and access primary literature to complete self-selected research projects. Besides tuition, students pay fees that may include but are not limited to airfare, room and board, classes, local tours, and other activities. Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL 0810 or equivalent placement test score, and MATH 0900 or equivalent placement test score.
-
1.00 Credits
A seminar in which students meet with faculty members in order to review current topics in biology. Students gain a working knowledge and proficiency regarding a previously agreed upon topic. Students demonstrate their understanding of the seminar topic through group discussions, review of current literature, written and oral assignments, and laboratory reports. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 1010.
-
3.00 Credits
Students identify rules, regulations, and practices related to workplace safety in the fermentation industry. Students also become knowledgable in standard brewery sanitation procedures including Clean-in-Place (CIP). Prerequisite: Instructor consent.
-
3.00 Credits
Students learn and practice analysis of fermented beverages for quality and adherence to standard style guidelines, analyzing both the characteristics and flaws resulting from raw materials usage and the brewing, fermentation and sanitation processes. Students discuss the chemistry and biochemistry of off-flavors, and methods to avoid future issues. Students will also acquire knowledge of the history and characteristics of standard beer styles and take the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) Entrance Exam. Prerequisite: Instructor consent.
