Prerequisites: BIOL 103/113, BIOL 104/114, CHEM 101/111, CHEM 102/112 An introduction to microbiology, biochemistry and bacterial physiology of concern to environmental science. Focuses on interrelationships between microorganisms and the environment, particularly aquatic systems, and the role of microorganisms in environmental degradation and in bioremediation of contaminated soil and water. Six class and laboratory hours. (NOTE: BIOL 312 and BIOL/ENVR 353 may not both be used to meet graduation requirements.)
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 104/114 The first half of the semester will be a comparative morphological study of the major extant plant groups with focus on those structures that distinguish the groups into evolutionary lineages. The second half will be a systematic study of the morphological features of members of our local flora and the system by which they have been taxonomically arranged.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 355 An introduction to the systematic study of vascular plants native to the area. Offered Spring semesters during the second half of the semester. Six laboratory and class hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 210, BIOL 215 An introductory course dealing with the laws of heredity, chemical basis of heredity, gene structure and function, population genetics, and the genetics of humans. Six class and laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 104 or permission of instructor An examination of the ethical dimension of topical issues in biomedical science. Topics are chosen based on current events and student interest.

-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 225 Two lecture hours and two laboratory hours. Lectures take place during the spring semester while the laboratory portion requires 12-14 field days in Florida during the second half of May. Lecture topics include ocean zonation, habitats, biota, wind, currents, waves, and tides plus the discussion of primary literature dealing with estuaries. The laboratory component will survey marine biodiversity using shoreline and boatbased collection techniques, and requires a research project dealing with marine ecology, behavior, anatomy, physiology, or physical oceanography. Food, lodging, transportation, and laboratory fees are in addition to tuition.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Eight hours of biology or permission of instructor An introductory study of the geology, climate, soil, flora and fauna of the Appalachian range, with emphasis on Virginia. Three hours lecture, plus local field trips.
