4.00 Credits
4 credit hours This scientific literacy course uses the study of animals to emphasize the interrelationship of all life forms and discusses the basic natural and physical laws which govern all life, genetic and developmental processes and evolutionary diversity, interactions of animals with one another and with the environment, and animal classification. Students learn that all living organisms are partners in the sharing of the resources of this planet and that they have special responsibilities toward their environment. The laboratory component uses the scientific method whereby the students make observations, formulate hypotheses and perform tests/experiments. Laboratory included.

4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisite: BIO 103 An introduction to the scope and diversity of photosynthetic monera, photosynthetic protista, fungi and plants with respect to their structure, physiology, ecology and evolution. Laboratory included. It includes an emphasis on student writing and serves as the departmental "W"course.

3.00 Credits
3 credit hours This course in moral responsibility examines the relationship between our biological nature and realistic knowledge of the biological world and the formulation of policies designed to promote the social good. The course introduces the philosophical, moral and ethical foundations for making value judgments, emphasizing the Christian perspective. Some of the major social problems in this and the next century will have significant biological components associated with them. Possible topics include the potential uses and misuses of biotechnology, the appropriate use of natural resources and the role of the public in deciding scientific policy. Students study responses of communities, institutions and governments to these problems and formulate a personal ethic reflecting the concepts presented.

4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisite: Completion of a high school biology course. This course introduces biology majors to study of biology as a process. Students will explore biology at the level of organisms and populations as it relates to homeostasis and physiological systems of organisms, the evolution of life, and ecology. Through lectures, problem-based learning, and inquiry-driven laboratories, students will not only learn information that will serve as a basis for their following coursework, but will become working scientists. Laboratory included.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Completion of a high school biology course. Overview of human anatomy and physiology designed for non-science and non-nursing majors. Emphasis is on an overview of the relationships between the structures and functions in each body system as well as the interrelationships among all body systems in the maintenance of homeostasis. Laboratory included.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours This personal well-being course presents the normal structure and function of the individual organ systems of the human body including the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory and endocrine systems. As each organ/system is discussed, the effects of varying lifestyles, such as substance abuse, exercise, diet and stress, are presented to demonstrate the individual's need and ability to maintain a healthy body. The students also examine the ways that the body compensates for alteration of normal structure and functions through disease, genetic disorders and other means. Laboratory included.

4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: BIO 204. A detailed study of the normal dynamic structure and function of the major homeostatic organsystems (circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems) of the human body. Laboratory included.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credit hours Prerequisite: BIO 204. This course is the study of the nutrients in foods and the healthy body's handling of those nutrients, including the process of digestion, absorption, transport and metabolism. Nutrition is viewed in the context of human need for nourishment which sustains life, promotes growth, replaces loss and provides energy.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 207. This course takes the basic information from Normal Nutrition and describes ways health care professionals assess clients' nutrition status and use this information to make plans for a client's nutrition care. This course explores how disease, signs and symptoms, and treatments influence nutrient needs and how meeting those needs affects recovery. Topics in Biology 3 credit hours This course is designed to encompass beginning topics in biology.
