4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits ( Natural Science Core*) Represents the second semester of the introductory biology course intended for science majors. Materials covered include the biology of populations and communities; including topics in evolution and their ecological interrelationships. Laboratory work consists of manual and visual experience with these topics. Prerequisites: BIO 103; chairperson permission required for non-science majors. * See page 43-44 for specific policies related to the Natural Science Core requirement.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) Information is necessary in order to understand and act upon problems associated with overpopulation, resource depletion, air and water pollution, acid rain, ozone depletion, desertification, or nuclear wastes. Aims to develop a perspective based on fundamental properties of mass and energy flow through ecosystems. Intended for non-science majors only.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) Intended to present the principles of human biology designed to promote the understanding of the body. Subject matter will provide students with the ability to make informed decisions in their lives.The course will present cell theory, genetics, evolution, and human ecology. An analysis of the organ systems of the human body and their diseases are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) This course will examine the intimate relationship between humans and plants. Students will explore the origin, history, and use of food plants,medicinal plants, and ornamental plants.These plants will be placed not only in a cultural context, but in a biological context as well. A component of this course is occasional field trips.This course is intended for non-science majors.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) This course considers the microbial world and its interaction with human life. Although the beneficial aspect of microbes is considered, the emphasis is on the role of microbes as causative agents of disease from a public health point of view.Topics include the biology of microbes, a survey of major microbial diseases, antibiotic resistance, biological warfare and terrorism, and immunization.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) An explanation of evolution at the non-technical level: DNA, proteins, gene mutation, variation, natural selection, and speciation. Digressions include viruses, cancer, genetic engineering, and topical issues. In the second half, macroevolutionary patterns from the history of life on Earth focus on human ancestry but with attention to diversity and extinction events in other kinds of organisms through time.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits ( Natural Science Group II Core) Explores the role of genes in the construction of gender stereotypes. A foundation in both classical and molecular genetics will be laid as the basis for consideration of the extent to which gender is determined by genes and environmental influences. Intended for non-science majors. Open to science majors as a free elective only, with permission of the instructor. Same asWMS 127.
-
3.00 Credits
1 semester, 3 credits This course provides an introduction to cell biology and molecular genetics and is intended for sophomore biology majors.The course focuses on four major areas: fine structure of cells, intra- and intercellular communication, energetics, and the molecular organization and transfer of genetic information. Experimental design,methodology, and current biotechnological applications will be considered. Prerequisites: BIO 103-104.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits A lecture and laboratory course emphasizing evolution of general body plan, adult anatomy, and organ system homology. Laboratory dissection includes cats, sharks, and others, plus demonstration specimens. Although premedical students often have an interest in the course, it is intended as a general gateway for all further studies of vertebrate biology without special emphasis on human anatomy or clinical application. Prerequisites: BIO 103-104.
-
4.00 Credits
1 semester, 4 credits Human organ systems from an integrated and functional perspective, especially for students preparing for nonmedical- school or allied health programs.The laboratory includes cat dissection and human anatomical models as well as latest software technology. Prerequisites: BIO 103- 104.
