4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Placement test score indicating ENG* K101 or successful completion of ENG* K100 with a "C" grade or better. Co-requisite: None required; CHE* K121 or CHE* K111 highly recommended. This course introduces the study of plant life, including a phylogenetic survey from algae to the flowering plants. Aspects of anatomy, physiology, genetics, and reproduction of select plant life will be covered. Three-hour lecture; one three-hour laboratory period.
-
3.00 Credits
Co-requisite: ENG* K100 or higher. This course is an introduction to marine science. Topics to be explored include general marine biology, intertidal ecology, plankton biology, marine communities, and the geomorphology of the New England coast. Some field work will be included.
-
3.00 Credits
Co-requisite: ENG* K100 or higher. This is a basic course in environmental studies that introduces ecological principles and a global perspective on environmental problems such as deforestation, droughts, floods, soil erosion, overpopulation, food shortages and pollutants. Some field work will be included. This course is equivalent to ENV* K101 Environmental Studies. Course fulfills International/Intercultural Requirement .

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO* K121 and CHE* K111 or higher passed with a "C" grade or better; or an acceptable grade on the associated challenge exam for Biology and/or Chemistry. This course is a comprehensive study of the gross anatomical structure and physiology of the human body pertaining to cells, tissues, membranes, organs, and the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, articular, muscular and nervous including special senses. Anatomy and Physiology is a two semester course. Students must enroll in both BIO* K211 and BIO* K212 for transfer credits to other institutions. BIO* K211 is offered in the fall semester only. Three-hour lecture; one three-hour laboratory period per week.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO* K211 with a "C" grade or better. CHE* K111 or higher strongly recommended. A continuation of BIO* K211, Anatomy and Physiology I, this course covers the following systems: endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive (nutrition), urinary (including fluids and electrolytes), and reproduction, as well as human development and genetics. Anatomy and Physiology is a two semester course. Students must enroll in both BIO* K211 and K212 for transfer credit to other institutions. BIO* K212 is offered in the spring semester only. Three-hour lecture; one three-hour laboratory period per week.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO* K121 and CHE* K111 or CHE* K121 or permission of the instructor, all courses passed with a "C" grade or better. BIO* K122 is recommended. This course covers a comprehensive study of microorganisms. Topics covered will include the basic characteristics, morphology, physiology, growth, reproduction, and genetics of bacteria, as well as a brief taxonomical survey of the following microbial life forms: Archaea, Eubacteria (Cyanobacteria, Mycoplasms, Rickettsia, Chlamydia), Fungi, Algae, Protozoans, and Viruses. Emphasis will be on species that affect humans. Laboratory activities will include various techniques of staining, culturing, and isolating bacteria. The morphology and metabolic processes of select microbial groups will be studied. Students will learn to apply various modern bio-techniques that are used for controlling the growth of microbes, and to identify unknowns. Three hours of lecture; three hours of lab each week.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENG* K101, MAT* K137, BIO* K121, CHE* K111 or CHE* K121, all courses passed with a "C" grade or better. This course is designed to cover the basic concepts of genetics, including the theory of chromosomes, classical Mendelian inheritance, principles of human genetics, the genetic code, the role of the nucleic acids in gene expression, genetic mutations, and topics in modern genetics in areas such as recombinant DNA, biotechnology, gene mapping and diagnosis of human genetic disease.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO* K121 & K122, MAT* K186 or higher, CHE* K111 or CHE* K121 & K122, or successful completion of BIO* K121, MAT* K137, CHE* K111 or CHE* K121 and the written permission of the instructor, all courses passed with a "C" grade or better. This introductory course covers the basic principles, theories and laws of heredity. Topics to be covered will include mitosis, meiosis, DNA & RNA and their role in protein synthesis, chromosomes, genes, recombinant DNA, and Mendelian and Human Genetics. Laboratory experience will incorporate the use of fruit flies to examine the ways in which traits are inherited, as well as gel electrophoresis and recombinant DNA procedures to explore modern concepts of cytogenetic technology.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENG* K101, MAT* K137 or higher, CHE* K111 or higher, and one of the following: BIO* K121 and BIO* K122, BIO* K155 or BIO* K145, all courses passed with a "C" grade or better. This course looks at a study of the relationship between plants and animals and their environment and is designed to cover ecological concepts and their applications to life in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Laboratory work will include travel to off campus field-study locations. Three-hour lecture; one three-hour laboratory period per week.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: ENG* K101 and MAT* K137 or higher and CHE* K111 or higher and BIO* K121 or BIO* K155 or BIO* K145 required, all courses passed with a "C" grade or better. This course is an ecological study of marine organisms and their environments that includes estuaries, tidal marshes, rocky shores, coral reefs, hydrothermal vents and the open ocean. The interaction of plants and animals with each other and their physical environment will be stressed. Lab fieldwork involves off campus sites to study local marine environments.
