4.00 Credits
This course provides a study of the diversity of life, life cycles, development, evolution, and ecology of living organisms and their systems. These major themes are explored through a survey of organisms within the three domains (Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya), with emphasis on protists, plants, fungi, and animals. The course emphasizes concepts underlying living systems and the use of the scientific method for problem solving.
-
4.00 Credits
This course addresses the evolution, taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and ecology of animals. The course emphasizes concepts underlying living systems, especially as they relate to animals, and the use of the scientific method for problem solving.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the diversity of organisms that may be categorized as plants or fungi with explorations of structure and function, genetics and evolution, ecology and conservation, and cultural and technological uses. This course is intended for students who want to gain scientific knowledge about plants and fungi and who may be pursuing careers in biology or agriculture.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of cellular, physiological, anatomical, and nutritional aspects of aging, which includes current theories of aging Changes seen with aging for each body system are covered and the distinction of normal versus abnormal aging is made. The interrelationships between biological aging and the psychological, social, and economic factors of aging are discussed. (3 lect hrs/week)
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces biological bases of behavior. It includes ethology and comparative behavior, psychobiological development, physiological and sensory mechanisms of behavior, and evolution and behavioral genetics. It presents basic structural and functional properties of the nervous system.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces principles of heredity and variation in living organisms, including a study of the nature of the genetic material and its influence on heredity, evolution and artificial selection of organisms. The process of gene regulation and the role of gene expression on the development and environmental response of organisms will be evaluated as it relates to modern day applications in biology, agriculture, and medicine.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will introduce genetic engineering techniques used in the production of recombinant proteins and novel microbial traits. Students will learn techniques in genetic microbial transformation, DNA manipulation, recombinant protein production, and protein purification. Students will also be introduced to database systems used to organize, track, and share genomic and proteomic information. Issues of quality control, regulation, marketing, and ethical concerns will be explored.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will introduce the student to the diverse and dynamic field of biotechnology by exploring career opportunities and developing skills in SLOP (Standard Laboratory Operating Procedures). Biotechnology applications, job responsibilities, and bioethical issues will be discussed. Students also will learn how to safely apply common biotechnology laboratory techniques.
