4.00 Credits
Zoology is a systematic study of animals with emphasis on evolution, ecology and comparative physiology. The laboratory is devoted to systematic, field, and experimental studies. (Three hours of laboratory and three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 204. Fall, alternate years.

4.00 Credits
Animal behavior is a broad discipline of biology integrating mechanisms of behavior with the ecological and evolutionary consequences of behavior. The course will introduce principles of neurophysiology, endocrinology, and development, which control and influence the expression of behaviors. The ecological aspects of behaviors will be considered, especially those that influence reproduction and foraging such as communication, territoriality and migration. A major focus will be on the evolutionary implications of animal behaviors with a strong emphasis on the concepts of sociobiology. Laboratories will involve both experiments and field observations. (Three hours of laboratory and three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisite BIO 204. Fall, alternate years.

4.00 Credits
Microbiology is the study of unicellular microscopic organisms. This course will deal with microorganisms and their activities. It is concerned with their form, structure, reproduction, physiology, metabolism, and identification. This course also includes the study of their distribution in nature, their relationship to each other and to other living organisms, their beneficial and detrimental effects on human beings, and the physical and chemical changes they make in their environment. (Three hours of laboratory and three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 327. Spring, alternate years.

3.00 Credits
Cell biology is an in-depth investigation of the fundamental unit of life, the cell. In addition to describing cellular components and their functions, organelles will be examined at the molecular level. Cell similarities will be explored as well as the crucial differences which result in the formation of tissues. (Three hours of lecture per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 327, CHE 215 or CHE 220. A Chemistry course at the 300-level or above is also highly recommended. Spring, alternate years.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is open to and is required of all senior Biology Majors. Topics for class discussion will include the philosophy, history, and profession of modern science. Students will develop a working resume, letters of recommendation, and/or graduate/professional entrance materials. Each student will be required to complete a final project involving review and analysis of primary literature, development of a research based proposal, and a written paper and oral presentation of their proposal. (Open to students with senior standing.) Fall
-
4.00 Credits
From medicine to criminology, to engineering of plants and animals, humans are increasingly able to manipulate DNA and its expressed protein products. This course will cover the methods behind gene cloning, restriction digest and analysis, PCR, DNA synthesis, regulation of gene expression, methods of gene delivery, and introduce students to genomics and proteomics. (Three hours of laboratory and three hours of lecture.) Prerequisite: Chem 365 Biomolecules.
-
3.00 Credits
It is the purpose of this course to provide a framework within which to understand the dynamic operation of an organization (profit and not-for-profit), to begin to develop skills and techniques which are necessary to manage an organization, and to provide a base from which to plan a program of study to prepare for successful organizational leadership. The student will learn the primary functions of a business organization.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will assist business and non-business students in their future financial well being. The curriculum will consist of topics such as understanding the economic environment of personal finance, achieving one's personal financial goals, understanding financial activities over the life cycle, managing cash, and resolving conflicts in one's budget, credit use, and income taxes. The knowledge acquired in this course will help students avoid the financial pitfalls that they will face as adults. The course does not count towards the business major.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of statistical methods used for business decisions is covered. Topics include descriptive statistics, probability, estimation, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and forecasting.
