4.00 Credits
This course covers the basics of human physiology. Students will learn to identify major organs of body systems, significant subdivisions of these organs, and the etiologies of many disease states. Students will gain skills in determining heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, testing simple reflexes, determining blood type, measuring respiratory volumes, and conducting urinalysis tests. Finally, students will gain an appreciation of the intricacy and detail of the human body, the importance of precision and accuracy in experimental work, and the value of collaborative learning. Prerequisites: BIO 120, 260. Offered spring term.
-
0.00 - 1.00 Credits
A seminar which will introduce students to current work in biomedical research. Specific topics will be selected by students and can include any research that has biomedical application.

Animal development is a fascinating process that begins with a single cell and ends with a complex multicellular organism. This course examines the genetic and cellular mechanisms that guide development in vertebrate animals. Upon successful completion of this course, students will understand the importance of egg preparation and the stages of development, including fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, neurulation, organogenesis, and gametogenesis. Students will also be able to integrate their knowledge of genetics and cell biology to understand the complex interplay of signals that direct the organization of the developing vertebrate. Prerequisite: BIO 120, 121, 260. Offered alternate spring terms.

A one semester laboratory or field research project required of all biology majors seeking teacher certification in biology. Students will complete the research project they proposed in Biology Research I (BIO 351 or CHM 351). To successfully complete this course students will conduct their scientific study by carrying out laboratory or field experiments, taking appropriate notes, analyzing their data, and presenting their findings in a written thesis and oral or poster presentation. Prerequisite: BIO 351 (or CHM 351) and admission into teacher education program. Offered spring term.
-
2.00 Credits
A two-semester laboratory or field research project required of all biology majors. Students will complete the research project they proposed in Biology Research I (BIO 351or CHM 351). To successfully complete this sequence of courses students will conduct their scientific study by carrying out laboratory or field experiments, taking appropriate notes, analyzing their data, and presenting their findings in a written thesis and oral or poster presentation. Prerequisites: BIO 351 (or CHM 351). Offered: BIO 495 every fall, BIO 496 every spring.
-
1.00 Credits
Presentation of the Senior Research project at a professional scientific meeting such as that of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences. The presentation may either be oral or in a poster format. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in BIO 496 and minimum GPA of 3.00 overall and in the natural sciences. Offered spring term.
-
3.00 Credits
An examination of effective written communication in organizational contexts through realistic applications relevant to the current business environment. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: 1) use technically correct, clear English in the preparation of business documents, including letters, memoranda, and reports; 2) analyze and synthesize information to write a focused, effectively organized report for a designated audience; and 3) document research sources appropriately.
