  • 4.00 Credits

    A comprehensive examination of the biology of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminthes, and viruses. Emphasis is placed on the bases of microbial diseases, their control, prevention, and treatment, as well as immune responses and immunotherapies. Includes practical experience in bacteriological lab techniques. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week
  • 3.00 Credits

    A one-semester course designed to provide the biology major with an in-depth understanding of the pharmacologic principles regarding particular medical issues. Receptor mechanisms are applied as they relate to the therapeutic application of drugs and the major side effects and adverse reactions of commonly used drugs. Descriptions of drugs classified as autonomic, central nervous system, cardiovascular, endocrine, and chemotherapeutic agents are studied
  • 2.00 Credits

    This is the first part of two course sequence designed to provide the biology major with the unique opportunity to explore the details of human anatomy through cadaver dissection. BIO-357 emphasizes cadaver preparation, the muscular system, and the nervous system. The other body systems are examined in BIO-358 Gross Anatomy II. A minimum of four hours of dissection time per week is required. Students enrolled in BIO-357 are expected to enroll in BIO-358 in the spring term
  • 2.00 Credits

    This is the second part of a two course sequence designed to provide the biology major with the unique opportunity to explore the details of human anatomy through cadaver dissection. BIO-358 emphasizes the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems. A minimum of four hours of dissection time per week is required
  • 1.00 - 4.00 Credits

    A "one time only" course on a special topic selected by the instructor. Repeatable for maximum of 4 credits if topics are substantially different. Variable 1-4 credits
  • 4.00 Credits

    An examination of cell and tissue structure primarily at the light microscopic level, although some electron microscopy of cell structure will be considered. The focus is on major tissue groups that make up the vertebrate body, and examines the contribution of each to the structure and function of the organism as a whole. Emphasis will be placed on the technology and histological methods used in preparing tissues for microscopic examination and study
  • 1.00 - 13.00 Credits

    A student-designed course of study in an area of biology not covered by current courses, under the guidance of a faculty member. Requires the approval and sponsorship of a faculty member prior to registration. FOR BIOLOGY MAJORS ONLY. Credits vary.
  • 4.00 Credits

    A comparative approach to the adaptive nature of animal function. This course addresses the diversity of solutions that have evolved in animals in response to environmental conditions presented in their natural habitats. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week
  • 4.00 Credits

    Provides the research-oriented student with an in-depth exposure to the tools and techniques of molecular biology and biotechnology. Includes molecular cloning, genetic engineering, DNA sequencing, protein expression and purification, immunological techniques, electrophoresis, and blotting. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week
  • 4.00 Credits

    The capstone course for biology majors is an independent experience within the field of biology that involves the composition of a grant proposal comparable to proposals submitted to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The proposal is constructed in consultation with a faculty mentor. REQUIRED OF ALL SENIOR BIOLOGY MAJORS
