4.00 Credits
This course is designed for non-science majors or as a preparation for BIOL 1740. A basic introduction to the principles of cell biology and genetics will be covered. The course will also examine the plant and animal kingdoms and general principles of ecology and evolution. One main goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of biology that will allow them to evaluate and make informed opinions about related current events. Two hours of lab per week are required. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goal 3) 4C/3/1/0
-
5.00 Credits
This course is a study of biological processes including cell chemistry, metabolism, reproduction, genetics, and complex cell physiology. Three hours of lab per week are required; the lab component covers the application of concepts through observation, experimentation, and problem analysis. This course is intended for biology majors and students requiring a strong biological background for selected majors, including nursing and other allied health fields, and interested non-majors. 3 hours of lab required in a 16-week semester. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0722 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0900 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goal 3) 5C/4/1/0

5.00 Credits
This course covers biological processes, including a survey of life forms (viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals), their evolution, and ecology. The laboratory focuses on organism taxonomy, classification, and mammalian systems including comparative anatomy, organism dissections, ecological interrelationships of organisms and their environment. Three hours of lab per week are required and some activities involve the dissection of preserved animals and animal organs. Traditional, hybrid and online sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1740 General Biology 1: The Living Cell with a grade of "C" or better). (MnTC: Goals 3 & 10) 5C/4/1/0
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to procedures and guidelines relating to chemical, biological, physical, and engineering research. Students will conduct a project in three of these areas. Students will utilize literature searches, good laboratory practices, standard operating procedures, clinical research practices, and lab safety related to research. Students will also learn to communicate in a scientific manner. The lab component of the course will provide hands-on experience with the laboratory environment, clean room environment, and instrumentation used in scientific laboratories. 3C/1/2/0

3.00 Credits
This course explores the science of nutrition, including healthy diet fundamentals and the roles of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals in health and fitness. Topics such as dietary guidelines, risk factors for illnesses linked to nutrition, and how the media influences personal diet choices will be covered. Hunger and the global environment as it relates to nutrition will also be covered. This course includes hands-on, lab-like activities related to nutrition and health. Traditional and online sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goal 3) 3C/3/0/0
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to Forensic Science. General biological concepts and their applications to various scientific principles and techniques used in Forensic Biology will be covered. Specific topics include chromatography, hair and fiber analysis, fingerprinting, blood spatter and typing, DNA typing, and forensic entomology. This course is intended for students in liberal arts and sciences, other related science fields, and interested non-science majors and can be used to fulfill the science lab requirement. Two hours of lab per week are required. Traditional, hybrid and online sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goal 3) 4C/3/1/0
-
3.00 Credits
The course is designed to allow students to explore significant facets of woman from many different angles across her life span from conception, through puberty, pregnancy, birthing and aging including specific health concerns ranging from osteoporosis, breast cancer, heart disease mental disorders and other chronic illnesses. Topics that will be covered include reproductive anatomy and physiology of sexes, sexual development and response, genetics, pregnancy, childbirth, reproductive issues & advances in assisted reproductive technologies which include contraceptive methods, infertility, impotency and sexually-transmitted diseases. Open to both male and female students, meant for non-science majors. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better, or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 3 & 9) 3C/3/0/0
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
This course is designed to present additional or unique material and learning experiences within a specified discipline. The course will be based on student need, flexibility, and may be designed to meet various transfer and pre-major course requirements. Please see a current Course Schedule for complete course details. (MnTC: Goal 3) Variable credits 1-6

4.00 Credits
This course covers body organization, tissues, human body systems (integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous), and the special senses, integrating both the anatomy and physiology of each organ system. Dysfunctions may be included, but the body in homeostasis is emphasized. Two hours of lab per week are required. Some lab activities involve the dissection of preserved animal organs. Traditional and hybrid sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1740 General Biology 1: The Living Cell with a grade of "C" or better) (MnTC: Goal 3) 4C/3/1/0
