4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 113, Biology 222, and junior or senior standing An integrative study of a particular group of vertebrate animals. This course may be taught as ichthyology (study of fishes), herpetology (study of amphibians and reptiles), or ornithology (study of birds). Taxonomic,physiological, behavioral, ecological, and population aspects of the animals will be examined. Laboratory work emphasizes identification and characterization of animals in southern Appalachian Mountains through extensive trips in the field.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 221, Chemistry 224 and at least one course from among Biology 301, 355, and Chemistry 311 A survey of molecular biology which emphasizes traditional research areas such as DNA, RNA and protein structure and function. The uses of molecular biology techniques in such diverse fields as immunology, genetics, and animal and plant physiology are examined. In the laboratory students learn methods used to isolate and manipulate DNA.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 115, Chemistry 122 and junior or senior standing An advanced study of the major physiological systems including respiration, circulation, excretion, osmoregulation, sensory physiology, neurophysiology, muscles, endocrinology, reproduction and integrative system function (growth, metabolism, temperature regulation). Emphasis is placed on human homeostasis and deviation from homeostasis (disease), as well as on comparative physiology. Laboratory work employs methods used in animal physiology and involves both student and animal subjects, and emphasizes all aspects of the scientific process (hypothesis, experimental design, data analysis and presentation).
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 221, 222 and Chemistry 122 Structure, function, and diversity of the protists with an emphasis on evolutionary history and ecological significance. Laboratory work includes identification of organisms and recognition of common structures related to evolutionary history.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisites: Biology 115, Chemistry 122, and junior or senior standing A study of the developmental biology of animals, primarily vertebrates, from fertilization through organogenesis. This course will investigate the events and mechanisms fundamental to the development of animal form and function. Laboratory work includes both classic embryology study and modern experimental methods in developmental biology.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Prerequisite: Chemistry 316 and Biology 221 The molecular mechanism regulating metabolism, catabolism and the flow of genetic information in response to cellular stimuli are explored. Applications of biochemistry and molecular biology are discussed in the contexts of biotechnology, disease, and drug design. In the laboratory, students build on techniques introduced in prerequisite course to complete bioinformatics and molecular cloning projects that culminate with the expression, purification, and functional analysis of a selected protein.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credit hours Prerequisite: Sophomore standing Study of modern managerial principles and processes relating to business, government, non-profit organizations, churches and schools. Emphasis on the basic management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and evaluating and on the evolution of management theory and practice.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credit hours An introduction to the process of analyzing and recording financial transactions for the purpose of preparing financial statements, cash flow budgets, ratio analysis, and other financial tools. Emphasis on how transactions affect the financial position of the organization.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credit hours Survey of American economic development from colonial times to the present. Special emphasis on the economic development of the South, the industrialization of the American economy, the development of banking and the impact of international trade.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credit hours Prerequisites: Sociology 101 and junior standing Analysis of complex organizations and bureaucracy. The goals, design, internal structure and environmental relations of organizations. The focus is on the individual, the group and the organization as units of analysis.
