3.00 Credits
3 credits This course addresses current scientific issues of interest to the general public, ranging from modern medical advances to those affecting the environment. Stress is placed not only on the concepts involved, but also on the social, ethical, political, and economic aspects of these issues. The course is intended for non-science majors.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits A study of the theoretical and practical ecological concepts pertaining to species, populations, communities and ecosystems; stress is placed on the concepts of energy flow, nutrient cycles, limiting factors, population dynamics and succession. Laboratories include both theoretical and practical applications of concepts as well as some plant and animal identifications. Three class meetings and one three-hour laboratory/field trip each week. Prerequisites: B110/111 and B120/121.

4.00 Credits
4 credits This course studies the structure of the human body from the cellular level through the skeletal-muscular, circulatory, respiratory, neuroendocrine, digestive, and excretory systems. The laboratory experiences emphasize basic gross anatomy and its functional relationships. This course is designed to meet the requirement of allied health programs and provide an elective for interested students. Two class periods and two two-hour labs each week. Prerequisites: B110/111 and B120/121.

2.00 Credits
2 credits This course is an organ systems approach to learning and understanding medical terms. A wordbuilding programmed learning format is utilized to understand Latin and Greek prefixes and root words from which our English medical words originate. Common medical abbreviations and case studies are also incorporated into the course. The class meets for two discussion periods weekly.

4.00 Credits
4 credits The principles underlying hereditary variation in living organisms are the focus of this course. These topics are centered about the transmission of hereditary traits, cytogenetics, basic gene concepts, introductory molecular biology, population genetics, and the genetic basis of evolution. Three class meetings and one three-hour laboratory period each week with several laboratory periods replaced with a one-hour lecture/discussion. Prerequisites: B110/111 and B120/121.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course is a study of the cell at the ultrastructural, biochemical, and physiological levels. Special consideration is given to respiration, photosynthesis, secretion, cytoskeleton, cell cycle, cell growth, movement, membranes, and other organelles. Two lectures and one three-hour lab weekly with two laboratory periods replaced with a one-hour lecture/discussion. Prerequisites: B110/111, B120/121, and C321 (C321 may be concurrent).
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits An analysis of the regulation of cellular metabolism at the molecular level is the core of this study. The major themes include the biochemistry of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and the regulation of gene expression in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The laboratory component incorporates genetic engineering techniques. The class meets for two lectures and one three-hour lab weekly. Prerequisites: B110/111, B120/121, B310, B311 and C321 (B311 and C321 may be concurrent).
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits The basic functioning of the human body is studied in this course emphasizing interrelationships of the physiological processes within the whole organism on the organ-systems level. The course is designed to meet the requirements for biology majors. The lab includes an introduction to physiological principles, instrumentation and procedures. Class meets for three lectures and one threehour lab weekly. Recommended: C142/144. Prerequisites: B110/111 and B120/121.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits The first half of this course introduces the basic concepts necessary to an understanding of geographic information systems (GIS) including their purpose, hardware, software, data bases, and applications. Special attention is paid to the concept of map projections, coordinate systems and georeferencing data. The second half introduces and spurs the development of core competencies with the desktop GIA Arcview. Students learn how to conduct queries, undertake simple and complex spatial analyses and develop presentations, incorporating views, charts, and images, among others. Two lecture/mini-laboratory periods per week.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits A study of mostly animal development from genetic and molecular perspectives. A brief account of embryology is followed by gametogenesis, fertilization, embryogenesis, and organogenesis. All topics are covered with emphasis upon differentiation. Class meets weekly for three hours of lecture/ discussion. Prerequisites: B110/111, B120/121, and B310.
