-
5.00 Credits
This course is designed for students majoring in biology and other science related fields, including the health professions. Students will explore major biological processes occurring at the cellular level, with emphasis on cell structure and function, metabolism, reproduction, development, genetics and gene expression, and evolution. Students will engage in techniques appropriate to the study of biological processes and gain experience in experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and the communication of results. Lecture 4 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is the second in a sequence designed for students majoring in biology and other science related fields, including the health professions. Students will explore the evolution and diversity of organisms and their interactions with each other and the environment. Students will engage in techniques appropriate to the study of diverse organisms and their interactions and gain experience in experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and the communication of results. Lecture 3 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.
