-
3.00 Credits
An intensive course in the field identification, behavior, and life histories of local bird species. Students are expected to provide their own binoculars (contact instructor for specifications if you will be purchasing binoculars). (Shared course in VSC)
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to an integration of biology and chemistry through an overview of the biochemical structure and reactions that occur in living systems. Presentation of the chemical structures of the important classes of biological macromolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids) is integrated with their roles in cellular metabolism.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an in-depth study of biological processes at the molecular level with emphasis on the relationship between structure and function of biological macromolecules. Topics include bioenergetics, enzymes, the genetic system, protein synthesis, biological membranes, cellular organization and chemical signaling. In the laboratory, students will be introduced to modern experimental techniques to analyze cellular functions.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory exploration of microscopic life and an introduction to the principles and concepts of microbiology. Topics include microbial morphology, physiology, ecology, and evolution, and the connections between microorganisms and the sciences of pathology and immunology. (Shared course in VSC)
-
4.00 Credits
An exploration of sensory perception, innate behavior, learning, communication, and social behavior in invertebrates and vertebrates, using taxonomy, ecology, and natural selection as frames of reference. (Shared course in VSC)
-
4.00 Credits
A detailed treatment of the identification, classification, adaptations, physiology, ecology, distribution and evolution of the world's mammals. In laboratory sessions, students engage in the work of professional mammalogists using museum specimens of mammals from all parts of the world.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a study of the structure, function, digestion and absorption of nutrients in the human body, with an emphasis on chemistry, current research, and controversies. The topics of food safety, diet analysis and planning, and the relation between nutrition and diseases are included.
-
4.00 Credits
A review and investigation of the principles of inheritance, including the topics of molecular, Mendelian, population, and human genetics. Current research and controversies will be emphasized. (Shared course in VSC)
-
4.00 Credits
Students gain first-hand experience in the techniques used to sample and analyze aquatic ecosystems. We will discuss the occurrence of aquatic organisms in different systems and the chemical, physical and biological factors which affect their distribution.
