4.00 Credits
A study of the nature of scientific inquiry and basic biological principles in the context of issues relevant to women. Areas of study include reproductive anatomy and physiology, the cardiovascular system, genetics and sexual differentiation, women and cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, infertility, contraception, menopause, women and exercise, women and nutrition, and women and aging. Three hours of class and two hours of laboratory per week. Designed for nonmajors. Also offered as WOST. Also offered in Weekend College and during the summer. Some sections are writing intensive.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the nature of scientific inquiry and the fascinating world of plants, delving into their structure (anatomy), function (physiology) and importance to life on earth. In addition, horticultural topics such as proper nutrients, water and light necessary for good plant growth are interspersed with discussions of environmental issues such as acid rain, global warming and pollution. Laboratory sessions encompass field trips, soil and water testing, and hands-on horticultural procedures. Three hours of class and two hours of laboratory per week. Designed for nonmajors. Offered in alternate years. Also offered in Weekend College.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of classical and molecular genetics in the context of human genetic analysis, with particular emphasis on issues relevant to women and the impact of gender on genetics. Topics covered include Mendelian genetics, human pedigree analysis, human genetic disease, gene and chromosome structure, gene expression, regulation of gene expression, mechanisms of genetic variability, cancer genetics, recombinant DNA and genetic technology. The course also looks at the ethical, legal, economic and political dimensions of modern genetic technologies such as gene therapy, prenatal genetic screening, gene cloning, the human genome project, gene mapping and DNA fingerprinting. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Designed for nonmajors. Offered in Weekend College.
-
4.00 Credits
The initial course in a two-semester series of general biology classes designed for science majors. BIOL 1210 is taught as a theme-based course focusing on the nature of scientific inquiry and women's biology. This course provides an introduction to anatomy and physiology, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, microbiology and immunology in the context of women's biology. Class meets three hours per week and involves lecture, discussion, and case studies. Laboratory involves semester-long research projects conducted by teams of students and meets for three hours each week with additional time as needed. Offered fall semester.
-
4.00 Credits
Continuation of the general biology series. BIOL 1220 is taught around the theme of environmental issues and provides an introduction to ecology, plant biology and evolution in the context of major environmental problems. Class meets three hours per week and involves lecture, discussion and case studies. Laboratory involves investigative research projects conducted by teams of students and meets for three hours each week with additional time as needed. Offered winter semester. Prerequisite: Satisfactory completion of BIOL 1210 (C- or better) or instructor permission.
-
6.00 Credits
This course satisfies the BIOL 2400 (Anatomy and Physiology I) requirement. Summer Science Immersion provides you with the opportunity to learn about human anatomy and physiology in an interactive way. This course integrates fundamental understandings of biochemistry, physical principles, lab exercises and effective study strategies with a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology. This course serves as an essential link to the healthcare and human-service programs. Laboratory and recitation are included in this course.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of microorganisms with special reference to those that cause disease. Topics include microbial structure, physiology, growth, genetics, mechanisms of pathogenicity, host defenses, and bacterial, viral, protozoan and fungal diseases. Three class and two laboratory hours per week. Intended for majors in health professions and foods and nutrition. Does not fulfill the requirements for the biology major. Offered fall semester, winter semester and during the summer. Prerequisite: One course in chemistry or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
(BIOL 2000 or BIOL 2400 is required for all students in A.A.S. and A.S. programs.) The content of this course includes the basic anatomy and physiology of the body. After a preliminary introduction to such areas as terminology, overview of the body, the chemical basis of life, and morphology of cells and tissue, the larger interactions between structures and functions of the different body systems are summarized and integrated. You will then apply this knowledge to critical questions. There is a laboratory requirement for the course. This course serves as an essential link to the College's healthcare and human-service programs.
-
4.00 Credits
(Required for associate program nursing and sonography students.) This course is designed to enable you to gain a comprehensive, correlated knowledge of the anatomical structures and physiological mechanisms of the human body. The course provides an organizational framework of unifying principles and concepts together with factual data presented in a way that facilitates application to subsequent pathophysiological and clinical courses. The course format includes both lecture and discussion. You will learn anatomical and physiological concepts through structured collaborative learning exercises, including the analysis of case studies. There is a laboratory requirement for this course. Prerequisite: BIOL 2000 or 2400.
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces the fundamental concepts of disease. You will study a range of infectious, chronic and genetic diseases; you will learn the etiology of these diseases, their clinical manifestations, principles of treatment and prevention where applicable. Prerequisite with concurrency: BIOL 2000 or 2400.
