4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 113, Biology 115, and at least sophomore standing | Pre or co-requisite: Chemistry 122 A phylogenetic survey of organisms traditionally considered plants. Major taxa of cyanobacteria, fungus-like protists, fungi, algae, and plants are examined. Laboratory exercises investigate the distinguishing characteristics of representative members of these taxa.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 113, Biology 115, and at least sophomore standing | Pre or co-requisite: Chemistry 122 An integrative investigation of the biology of the angio-sperms. The relationship between structure and function is examined from germination through development of the primary and secondary body to flowering, fruiting, and seed set. Taxonomy is introduced through the study of selected families. Laboratory exercises investigate the anatomical construction and metabolic processes of angiosperms and introduce techniques for the identification of species native to and naturalized in eastern Tennessee.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisite: Natural Science 150 or other laboratory science course An investigation of the landforms, flora, and fauna of the Southern Appalachians. Topics include: relationships between climate, geology, and topographic features; recognition of common biotic communities; identification of characteristic plants, animals, and fungi along with their habitats; roles played by plants, animals and fungi within communities; and impact of human activity on ecosystems in the region. Laboratory exercises incorporate field work in the Maryville College woods and local points on interest, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 113, Biology 115, and junior standing A comparative study of the animals in the vertebrate classes. Lecture topics include: evolution of the structure and function of the major organ systems of vertebrates; taxonomy and phylogeny of vertebrates; and the major physiological and behavioral adaptations exhibited by the vertebrate groups. Laboratory work includes the dissection of specific organ systems in representative vertebrate species.
-
7.00 - 15.00 Credits
7 to 15 credit hours Prerequisites: At least 2.8 GPA in major/related courses, junior or senior standing and division approval Practical off-campus experiences that apply methodologies and techniques of the biological sciences in actual work settings in academic institutions, government laboratories or agencies, or private companies and organizations. One credit hour is associated with each week of full-time employment.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 113, Biology 115, and junior standing A comparative study of invertebrates. Lecture topics emphasize the evolution of invertebrate groups with discussion of the important characteristics that distinguish each major taxonomic level. The laboratory emphasizes experience in the collection, classification and preservation of all invertebrate groups, culminating with an invertebrate collection. Field experience is an integral part of the laboratory component, and an extended coastal field trip is required.
-
2.00 - 6.00 Credits
2 to 6 credit hours Prerequisites: At least 2.8 GPA in major/related courses, junior or senior standing and division approval Practical experiences, either on or off campus, that apply methodologies and techniques of the biological sciences in actual work settings in academic institutions, government laboratories or agencies, or private companies and organizations. One credit hour is associated with each three hours of work every week for a 14-week semester.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
1 to 4 credit hours Prerequisites: At least 17 hours in biology courses that satisfy major requirements, and junior or senior standing, or permission of the instructor Seminars and laboratory courses involving the detailed study of advanced topics in biology not encountered in other course work. Potential topics could include animal behavior, immunology, and plant ecology.
-
6.00 Credits
6 credit hours Prerequisites: FRS 140, English Proficiency Exam, junior standing, at least 21 hours in biology courses that satisfy the requirements for a Major in Biology, and 8 hours in chemistry The Senior Study requirement is fulfilled with this two-course sequence. Research in biology involves independent research under the guidance of a faculty advisor. The project culminates in formal presentation of a written document with appropriate supporting materials and an oral presentation.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisite: Biology 221 Pre or co-requisite: Chemistry 122 The basic principles and methodologies of the study of microbial organisms with emphasis on the eubacteria. Topics include: cellular ultrastructure and physiology; microbial metabolism and growth; properties and reproduction of viruses; microbial ecology; pathogenicity; and industrial applications of microbiology. Laboratory work stresses basic research techniques: microscopy, culture growth, isolation, and identification of microbes.
