Students can obtain information from the Department Chair.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 104/114 The objectives of this course are to provide biology majors with information on pre- and post-graduate opportunities, prepare them for graduate and professional studies related to biology by developing a résumé and Statement of Purpose, and provide them with opportunitiesto speak publicly on biological topics using appropriate technology.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 398 Using the scientific literature and in consultation with a faculty member, students will develop a novel grant proposal for a research project in the biological sciences and publicly present the proposal to their peers.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 210 A study of the basic structure and function of viruses. Emphasis will be placed on mechanisms for cell invasion, viral replication, and pathogenesis. Three lecture hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 215, BIOL 220 This course will take a phylogenetic view of fungal diversity and consider the significance of fungi to humans. Three lecture hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 220, BIOL 225; or permission of instructor A study of the biological, chemical, and physical factors influencing freshwater life. The laboratory will emphasize limnological techniques, biological productivity and communities, pollution, and lake and stream morphometry. Three lecture and three laboratory hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 210, BIOL 215; From primitive neural nets to layer V pyramidal cells of the cerebral cortex, neural language links sensory input with motor output, coordinating homeostatic functions. Neural language will be looked at from first principles. Basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology will be studied at the molecular and cellular levels, paying attention to genetically-based pathologies. Topics studied will include bioelectricity, ion channels, sensory transduction, neurohumors, synaptic transmission and integration, and neural plasticity.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 220, BIOL 312 A course dealing with the biology and economic significance of microscopic organisms from all three domains of life. Three lecture hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 302, BIOL 360 A discussion of the role transcription factors play in determining the fate of a cell. Topics to be covered include a detailed look at the process of transcription, transcription factors, the physical relationship between DNAand transcription factors, and the role of transcription factors in development. Three lecture hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 103, CHEM 102; CHEM 301 highly recommended An introduction to the concepts and principles of toxicology as they apply to humans and environmental health. The course discusses the fate and behavior of chemicals in the environment and the effects of pollutants on ecosystems. It defines the principles underlying the interactions of environmental chemicals with the biological systems, emphasizing chemical distribution, cellular penetration, biotransformation and elimination. Special attention to the genetic basis of toxicity by environmental agents will be given. In addition, monitoring exposure, toxicity testing, and risk assessment are discussed.
