3.00 Credits
Advanced study in personal art making. Students majoring in Studio Art may work in the 2D media of their choice. Students will rely on self-motivation though meetings with professor are mandatory throughout the semester (may be take up to 3 times for a total of 9 SH) Prerequisite: Junior status and ART 420.

3.00 Credits
Semesters Offered: F Semester Hours: 4SH An introductory level, 2 semester sequence with emphasis on history, philosophy, and methodology of science; cell structure and function of major systems of vascular plants and vertebrate animals, genetics, evolution, and ecology of major groups of plants and animals. The second semester is a continuation of the first semester; thus, the first semester is a prerequisite to the second.* These courses may be used to satisfy the general education requirement in laboratory science and are the first courses for majors in Biology. In the event of transfer credits, permission of the instructor will suffice for prerequisites.

A study of the form and function of major phyla of invertebrate animals with emphasis on phylogeny.

4.00 Credits
Biological Anthropology covers concepts relating to the origin, evolution, and biological nature of the human species. The course explores the fundamental principles of the evolution and biological adaptation of our own species, Homo sapiens. This search takes the student in a number of directions by way of evolutionary theory - through genetics and the diversity of modern human populations, through the fossil record of human physical evolution, to a study of behaviors and physical traits we share with other primates. Finally, the course looks at how paleoanthropologists interpret and reconstruct the biological and cultural adapations of our earliest hominid ancestors. The class utilizes several formats, including lecture, discussion, labs, computer programs, and visits to the Asheboro Zoo and Duke Primate Center. Prerequisite: BIOL 212 or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the major principles of evolutionary biology. Topics covered will include elementary population genetics, the theory of evolution by natural selection, concepts of fitness and adaptation, genetic and developmental bases of evolutionary change, modes of speciation, morphological and molecular evolution, principles of systemic biology, palenotology and macroevolutionary trends in evolution, extinction and human evolution. Lab will include activities and experiments, recent articles and discussions, and student presentations. Prerequisites: BIOL 211and BIOL 212.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students interested in biology, environmental science, or any natural sciences to the breadth and types of potential avenues of studying our earth and its biodiversity. While the course will focus on domestic wildlife, which will be more immediately familiar to introductory-level students, the course will also include a component of international wildlife. Natural history of animal (and, to a lesser degree) plant groups will be a major focus of the course, including terrestrial, avian, and marine/freshwater wildlife. Understanding of conservation and ecosystems will be a capstone goal of the course. At the end of the course, students will have been exposed to the fields of mammalogy, ornithology, ichthyology, herpetology, and invertebrate biology. Charismatic megafauna will be the flagship species most studied in this introductory course. Field trips to Uwharrie National Forest, the Carnivore Conservation Trust, NC Zoo and/or Duke Primate Center will be included in this course. Prerequisites: BIOL 211 and 212 preferred.
-
4.00 Credits
Biology of bacteria, molds, yeasts, and viruses. Fundamentals of immunology. Prerequisites: Two courses in BIOL.
-
4.00 Credits
The principles of heredity; the cytological and molecular bases of genetic phenomena. Combined lecture, discussion, and laboratory. Prerequisites: Two courses in BIOL and CHEM 302.
