4.00 Credits
Contemporary environmental concerns on global, national and local levels are examined to increase awareness and scientific literacy and to promote stewardship in the understanding of their impact and application to human existence. In order to understand these environmental concerns it is important to study the nature of our environment, biodiversity, biogeochemical cycles, populations, and our renewable and non-renewable resources. The laboratory is an integral part of the course and will reinforce lecture material. (Not accepted as credit toward a Biological Sciences major.)
-
4.00 Credits
The application of biological principles to contemporary health issues are examined in this course to provide awareness and scientific literacy about their potential impact and importance to our well-being and the choices we make. Students will gain an appreciation of the design of the human body through a study of its organization, the interrelationships among the many organ systems, patterns of chromosome and genetic inheritance and cancer. (Not accepted as credit toward a Biological Sciences major.)
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the unity of structure and function with clinical applications, this course will provide the foundation for understanding the design of the human body from the cell to the system level under the unifying theme of homeostasis. Topics include anatomical terminology, chemistry, cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and sensory systems. The laboratory component will focus on anatomical principles and complement lecture through microscopic and macroscopic observations. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. (Not accepted as credit toward a Biological Sciences major.)
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of the study of structure and function with clinical applications important to understanding the human body under the unifying theme of homeostasis, this course will continue using physiological principles to study the endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive systems, metabolism and development. The laboratory component will focus on anatomical principles and complement lecture with microscopic and macroscopic observations enhanced with dissections. Lecture 3 hours, Laboratory 3 hours. (Not accepted as credit toward a Biological Sciences major). Prerequisite: BIO117 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic, unifying principles of biological systems, this course emphasizes the building blocks of life, cellular metabolism and processes, patterns of inheritance and human genetics and molecular mechanisms of heredity and gene function. The laboratory consists of investigative research and emphasizes skills and techniques. This course is designed for science majors, allied health and pre-professional students. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. BIO121 and 122 may be taken in either order.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to evolutionary theory and principles, this course emphasizes plant diversity, structure and function, animal diversity, vertebrate animal structure and function, human structure and function, and an overview of ecology and animal behavior. The laboratory includes student/faculty research and emphasizes skills and techniques. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. BIO121 and 122 may be taken in either order.
-
4.00 Credits
The general characteristics of bacteria, protozoa, yeasts, molds and viruses are used to understand the role of microorganisms in human health and disease. The interactions between the host and the microorganisms are emphasized as well as the physical and chemical methods of control. Infectious disease agents are covered by body system. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. Prerequisites: college-level chemistry course appropriate for intended major. (Not accepted as credit toward a Biological Sciences major.)
-
3.00 Credits
This introductory course covers many aspects of neuroscience including synaptic transmission, psychopharmacology, sensory systems, cognition, learning and basis of neurological disease. Prerequisites: BIO 121, 122 or PSY 100, or permission of the instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Research Directors (RD’s) lead a team of 3-6 Principles of Biology II lab students through the many steps of scientific research. Developing a research plan and schedule, teaching laboratory and/or field techniques, critiquing oral presentations and a written abstract are the primary responsibilities of an RD. Prerequisite: BIO 122 and permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of plants from the green algae through the angiosperms. Plant structure, function, physiology, ecology, and conservation will be addressed. The laboratory portion of the course will focus on the evolutionary relationships among different plant families and the learning of key characteristics to aid in plant identification. The lecture and laboratory sections of the course must be taken together. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. Prerequisite: BIO111 or BIO122 or permission of the instructor.
