1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Grading Restriction: Satisfactory/No Credit grading only. Repeatability: May be repeated. Maximum 6 hours. Credit Restriction: Maximum 2 hours may be applied toward the biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology concentration. Registration Permission: Consent of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Independent study under the direction of a faculty member.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles of biology from the perspective of the impacts of plants, animals, and microbes on human life, and the impact of humans on the biosphere. Intended for students not majoring in the biological or pre-health sciences. Surveys life from the cell to topics in human health. Topics include – macromolecules and cells, energy flow in biological systems, genetics and information flow from generation to generation, reproduction, biotechnology and genetic engineering, sex and sexuality, and human physiology. Laboratories involve a mix of skills-oriented exercises and assignments.

Introduction to the principles of biology from the perspective of the impacts of plants, animals, and microbes on human life, and the impact of humans on the biosphere. Intended for students not majoring in the biological or pre-health sciences. Focuses on the diversity of the Earth’s biota and the interdependence among components. Topics include – surveys of biodiversity from bacteria to higher plants and animals, genetics and evolutionary processes, population biology, ecology, ecosystems, environmental issues including world population and global climate change. Laboratories involve a mix of skills-oriented exercises and assignments.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the principles of plant biology covering cell biology, respiration, photosynthesis, genetics (including mitosis, meiosis, Mendelian inheritance, recombinant DNA technology) and classification and diversity of the prokaryotes, fungi, protista, and plant kingdoms.
-
4.00 Credits
Topics include development of the plant body, anatomy, hormonal and environmental growth regulation, plant nutrition, regulation of water and nutrients, origin of life and mechanisms of evolution, speciation, and population genetics, ecology including dynamics of communities and ecosystems, the interaction of plants and people including origin of agriculture, the Green Revolution, and plants as medicines, a survey of current environmental issues related to plant biology and tree identification.
-
4.00 Credits
Unifying concepts and principles of biology, illustrated with diversity of life. Properties of life, molecular basis, origin of life, cells, genetics, introduction to kingdoms, origins of multicellularity, multicellular plants and animals, ideas about evolution, man’s place in nature. Emphasis on common themes in living systems (e.g., metabolism, protein and nucleotide sequence similarities, morphology), phylogeny construction, fossils, and the major plant and animal groups. Writing and analysis of lab activities required. Intended for science majors.
-
4.00 Credits
Same as BIOL 130 but designed for high-achieving students.
-
4.00 Credits
Topics include basic organic chemistry and biomolecules, cell structure (membranes, cell walls, and internal organelles); energetics (respiration and photosynthesis); cell division mitosis; and molecular biology. Labs will stress basic laboratory skills and procedures such as measuring pipetting and mixing solutions, as well as introduce modern methods for analysis of cell components such as electrophoresis and centrifugation.
