Anatomical structure of the human body. Fundamentals of cell structure and function. Major tissues of the body and their organization to form the organ systems: skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive. Does not fulfill the requirements for the biology major. Three class and two laboratory hours per week, with additional time for lab practicals. Offered fall semester and during the summer. Prerequisite: Sophomore status or permission of instructor.

4.00 Credits
This course deals with the basics of clinical research and how the efficacy and effectiveness of drugs, devices and other medical therapies are tested. The course also includes a section on drug physiology and reviews the specific physiology underlying representative clinical trials. Students should be able to critically evaluate clinical trial literature at the end of the course. Not recommended for majors. One three-hour lecture/lab session per week. Also offered in Weekend College. Does not meet core lab science requirement. Prerequisites: BIOL 2520 or equivalent (Human Physiology) and one statistics course. Recommended: BIOL 2510 or equivalent (Human Anatomy).

4.00 Credits
Study of the interrelationships between organisms and their environment within the framework of the various levels of ecology: organismal (including physiological and behavioral ecology), population, community and ecosystem ecology. Class periods are a mixture of lecture, discussion based on text readings and current literature, and problem-based learning. Laboratory includes lab and field investigations and the use of computer simulations and modeling, with a focus on developing skills in hypothesis formation, observation and measurement, data analysis and presentation in ecological systems. Three class and three laboratory hours per week, with additional time for field trips. Offered fall semester in alternate years with BIOL 3300. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900 and a course in statistics.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of plants in which all representatives of the kingdom are included with special emphasis on flowering plants. Such areas as physiology, morphology, reproduction, life cycles and ecological implications are covered in-depth. Three class and three laboratory hours per week. Offered fall semester in alternate years with BIOL 3450. Prerequisites: BIOL 1220, 2800, 2900.
