4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the structure and function of the major organ systems of the human body. The first semester course will focus on the following systems: integument, skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the integrative action of these systems. The lab is devoted to exploring these concepts through experimentation, dissections, and computer simulations. (Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week.) Fall.

4.00 Credits
This is the second semester course exploring the structure and function of the major organ systems of the human body. This course will focus on the following systems: cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, and renal. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the integrative action of these systems. The lab is devoted to exploring these concepts through experimentation, dissections, and computer simulations. (Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week.) Spring. BIO 221 is a prerequisite.
-
3.00 Credits
This course allows for an in-depth exploration of a current biological topic of interest. Examples of potential topics include the environment, biotechnology, or cancer. The class will consist of extensive study through the literature and the Internet. Regular discussion of at least one paper per week by students and professors is expected. (Three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 201, 204 and at least sophomore standing.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the basic concepts, principles and methods of ecology; the subdiscipline of biology dealing with organisms, their interactions with the physical environment and other organisms, and the results of such interactions over time. (Three hours of laboratory and three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 204.
-
4.00 Credits
Genetics is the study of heredity, studied from different, yet integrated, perspectives. The first is a more historical approach (Mendelian Genetics), the second is the heredity of environmental dynamics over time (population genetics), and the last examine genetics at a more molecular level (molecular genetics). Additionally, the class offers opportunities to examine the effects that current genetic discoveries are having on individuals, society, and decision-making. (Three hours of laboratory and three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 204 Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
A systematic survey of the divisions of photosynthetic organisms with an emphasis on evolutionary history and relationships in terms of morphology, anatomy, ecology, and reproductive diversity. Major evolutionary trends will be addressed. (Three hours of laboratory and three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 204. Spring, alternate years.
-
5.00 Credits
This course offers a hands-on approach to techniques commonly employed within a research laboratory. Molecular techniques, through biotechnology, impact areas of life as diverse as agriculture, human health and medicine, and the environment. Emphasis will be on the applications and limitations of molecular techniques in the context of current and historical research. (Seven hours of lecture/laboratory per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 327, CHE 215 or 220. A lab fee is assessed with this course. Spring, alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a thorough, one-semester introduction to the study of plant biology, presented in an evolutionary context and emphasizing the structural and functional diversity of Kingdom Plantae. Morphology, anatomy, physiology, photosynthesis, growth and development will be treated in detail. (Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 204. Spring, alternate years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a thorough, one-semester introduction to mycology, the study of fungi as biological organisms. Fungal diversity is explored in an evolutionary and ecological context, emphasizing morphology, adaptation and taxonomy. (Three hours of laboratory and 3 hours of lecture per week). Prerequisites: BIO 204
-
3.00 Credits
Physiology is the study of the how the body functions through the integrated activity of organ systems. This course will provide an in depth examination of the major physiological systems from established principles in physics, chemistry, and cellular biology. (Three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 204. Spring
