4.00 Credits
A scientifically rigorous and systematic study of the human body, intended for students pursuing careers in the health professions. Emphasis is on both gross and microscopic anatomy. Laboratory includes small mammal dissection, basic histology, and the gross and microscopic study of the human organ systems. Small mammal dissection is required for course completion. Lecture 3 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an integrative understanding of how the human body functions with emphasis on homeostatic mechanisms. Body systems studied include nervous, endocrine, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, immune, and reproductive. Laboratory studies include collecting data from students. Lecture 3 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.
-
4.00 Credits
A rigorous lab course intended for students pursuing careers in the medical professions. This course examines the biology of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, helminths, viruses, and prions. Topics include prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure and function, microbial metabolism, microbial genetics, physical and chemical methods of control, host defenses, and clinical applications. Lab exercises mandate following biosafety level 2 practices for handling microbial pathogens. Lecture 3 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.

-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
This internship course provides career exploration and training in a supervised work setting and combines biological theory with practical experience. A student works 45 hours per credit at the internship site under the direction of the site supervisor and completes academic work in regular consultation with the faculty mentor. A student may choose to earn 2 to 4 credits.
-
4.00 Credits
A laboratory science course intended for biology and related majors. Students will explore evolutionary relationships among animal taxa from morphological, physiological, developmental and ecological perspectives. Dissection of preserved animals is a required part of the laboratory. Lecture 3 hours per week; lab 3 hours per week.
-
4.00 Credits
A majors lab course that introduces the biology of plants and plant-like organisms. Course takes an evolutionary perspective emphasizing morphology, anatomy, adaptations, physiology, reproduction, ecology and economic importance of plants. Lecture 3 hours; Lab requires a minimum of 3 hours per week of scheduled or self-directed laboratory work.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed for students majoring in biology. Students will explore major concepts in Mendelian, molecular, and population genetics, with emphasis on prokaryotic and eukaryotic gene expression, recombination, gene mapping, and chromosome analysis. Students will engage in techniques appropriate to genetic analysis and gain experience in experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and the communication of results. Lecture 3 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed for students majoring in biology. Students will explore ecological concepts and the scientific research that has built our understanding of interactions in nature at the organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and global levels. Students will acquire an understanding of how the different levels of ecology are studied, how these levels relate to each other, and what properties are important at increasing levels of complexity. Additional topics include evolutionary ecology and contemporary environmental change and its consequences. Students will engage in techniques appropriate to ecological study and gain experience in experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and the communication of results. Lab requires field trips on and off campus which might include required field trips on prescribed dates. Lecture 3 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed for students majoring in biology. Students will explore major concepts in cell biology including eukaryotic cell structure and function, the cellular use of biomolecules, membranes, signal transduction, motility, and the extracellular matrix. Students will engage in techniques appropriate to the study of cells and cellular processes and gain experience in experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and the communication of results. Lecture 3 credits, 3-hour lab 1 credit.
