3.00 Credits
Biological Basis presents an in-depth focus on neuroanatomy, the nervous system, and other biological processes relevant to human thought and behavior. Students will learn the structure and function of the nervous and endocrine systems, with a specific focus on how biological systems influence psychological functions and vice versa. Students will become familiar with the terminology and research methods of both biology and psychology, and will be introduced to exciting interdisciplinary neuroscience fields. 3 credits PREREQUISITE: PY 101 WITH A GRADE OF C- OR HIGHER OR PERMISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR. FULFILLS SOCIAL/BEHAVIORAL OR NATURAL SCIENCES LAI REQUIREMENT WHEN TAKEN WITH BIO-231.
-
1.00 Credits
A hands-on laboratory course that covers all human body systems (i.e. skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, and reproductive) with special emphasis placed on the structure and function of the nervous and endocrine systems. This laboratory course, along with the lecture topics covered in BIO 231I provides a basic understanding of the structure and function of the human body
-
4.00 Credits
An investigation into the maintenance, inheritance, transfer, and expression of genetic information at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and population levels. Includes Mendelian genetics, bacterial genetics, the structure and function of chromosomes and genes, recombination and mutation, the control of gene expression, and population genetics. Provides a brief introduction to genetic engineering and biotechnology. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week
-
4.00 Credits
A broad survey of the study of interactions of organisms with each other and their physical environment. This course addresses the dynamics of energy flow and nutrient cycling through ecosystems, as well as ecological processes operating at the individual, population, and community levels of organization. Emphasis is placed on the methods ecologists use to conduct their research. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week
-
4.00 Credits
A course designed to provide the biology major with an understanding of the diversity, taxonomy, ecology, and behavior of many phyla of animals, especially emphasizing the invertebrates. Allows the student to survey the diversity of animal forms in the environment and the contributions, both positive and negative, that they make in our everyday lives. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week
-
2.00 Credits
An opportunity for junior biology majors to research current trends and topics in their discipline and present a seminar devoted to the topic of their choice. Junior presentations may be on any topic approved in advance by the seminar director
-
3.00 Credits
The science of biochemistry covers the arena where molecular and cell biology and chemistry interrelate. This course is an interdisciplinary (same as CHM 306I) one-semester introduction to selected areas of biochemistry. The course will allow an in-depth examination of the structure and function of biological molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Also covered are the metabolic processes of organisms and bioenergetics
-
2.00 Credits
A course examining the underlying processes and effects of disease at the level of cells, tissues, organs, and systems. Cellular mechanisms lay the foundation for examining pathophysiological changes in organs and systems. Three hours of lecture weekly

-
4.00 Credits
A study of the basic cellular and molecular mechanisms by which cells function: membrane transport, metabolism and ATP production, DNA replication, protein synthesis, cell movement, and division. Laboratories introduce students to cell culture, microscopy, centrifugation, electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, and other techniques used to study cells. Three hours of lecture; one three-hour lab per week
