1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Designed to provide students with a broader knowledge and understanding of biology, this course will involve the study of topics not currently included, or not covered in depth, in the regular curriculum. Possible formats include (but are not limited to) seminar, field study, laboratory study, lecture, or a combination of these, depending on the topic covered. May be taken for additional credit as topic changes. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. One to four semester hours.
-
1.00 Credits
The first in a series of three required academic and professional development courses, this offering will include instruction and active learning in the following areas: careers in biology and admissions requirements for graduate and professional schools, bioethics, plagiarism, finding reputable sources of scientific information, and communication skills pertaining to the sciences. Pre-requisite: "C" or better in BIOL 112. One semester hour.
Prerequisite:
BIOL 112
