BIOL 1020 Life Science (3L,3LB,4CR) [E] [SB] This is an introductory course emphasizing principles of biology including cell structure and function, genetics, ecology, evolution and organismal biology. The applications of these principles to societal issues such as the conservation of biodiversity, overpopulation and global environmental changes, biotechnology, and human wellness and disease are also considered. This course fulfills a laboratory science requirement for non-biology majors such as those in the social and behavioral sciences, humanistic studies, etc. This course is a requirement of elementary education majors and should be taken prior to or concurrently with EDCI 1430.

BIOL 2022 Animal Biology (3L,3LB,4CR) This course addresses the evolution, anatomy, physiology and ecology of animals. It is intended as a continuation of BIOL 1010 generally for students majoring in the sciences. Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 or BIOL 1000 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
BIOL 2023 Plant and Fungal Biology (3L,3LB,4CR) An introduction to the principles of botany and mycology.Topics discussed include cell structure,anatomy,diversity,taxonomy, physiology, reproduction, genetics, evolution, and ecology of plants and fungi. Prerequisite: BIOL 1000 or 1010, or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
BIOL 2110 Yellowstone Field Science (3L,3CR) A field approach to the ecology, natural history and politics of Yellowstone National Park. Students spend a hiking-intensive week and write about the experience under the guidance of an English instructor (ENGL 2055). Concentration will be on plant and animal identification, natural history, and interactions with each other and their environment. Political issues in Yellowstone, i.e., snowmobiles, bison migration and wolf restoration will be discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Wildlife Techniques (2L, 1LB, 3CR) A class to prepare potential future professional wildlife biologists. We will cover wildlife techniques and methods used in both the field and the laboratory, including research and experimental design, capturing and handling wild animals (birds, mammals, and herpetofauna), techniques for marking wildlife, aging birds and mammals, radiotelemetry, and more. This course is meant to provide practical information on methodology that would better prepare students for wildlife jobs. There will be a strong emphasis on hands on learning opportunities through labs and field trips.
-
3.00 Credits
BIOL 2120 Biomedical and Environmental Ethics (3L,3CR) This course will examine ethical issues related to medicine, biological technology and the natural environment. During the first half of the course, ethical theory is introduced, and the class will read, discuss and debate material on medical and technological issues such as defining life, abortion, euthanasia, biomedical research, genetic engineering and speciesism. The second half of the course will be devoted to issues such as animal rights, land ethics, crop engineering and the value of wilderness and biodiversity. Much class time is devoted to debate and discussion. College biology recommended.

3.00 Credits
BIOL 2325 Tropical Ecology (6LB,3CR) Tropical Ecology utilizes on-site instruction to introduce students to the fundamental principles of tropical biology, the natural history of important tropical plants and animals, and their conservation. Students will be introduced to a variety of habitats, depending on the country visited. Field orientation at each site visited includes identification of plants and animals and general ecology and natural history, area management, history and cultural considerations necessary for conservation and research in the tropics. Financial assistance may be available for interested and qualified students. Prerequisite: BIOL 1000 or BIOL 1010, and permission of the instructor. Students must complete an application form, available from the instructor.

Cross-listed: LIFE 2400
-
2.00 Credits
BIOL 2410 Intro to Field Ecology(5LB,2CR) [E] A field and laboratory course to introduce research methods in general ecology. Includes required field trips. Prerequisite: BIOL 1010 or BIOL 1000 permission of the instructor.Cross-listed: LIFE 2410.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
BIOL 2465 Research Problems in Biology (1-3CR) (Max. 3) A comprehensive research study is required. Upon completing the project, the student should present a paper and oral seminar to a committee selected by the project instructor.
