4.00 Credits
Forensic Science takes the student into the world of scientific problem solving by creating new "crime scenes" periodically throughout the semester. Students will be expected to observe the scene, collect evidence, formulate possible hypotheses, analyze the evidence with the appropriate analytical techniques, and draw conclusions based on their results. The course is designed to teach students scientific reasoning, data collection, and the confirmation or rejection of possible hypotheses. There is no prerequisite or co-requisite for this course, other than a strong motivation to learn. This course fulfills the general education lab science requirement.
-
4.00 Credits
An integrated course covering the structure and function of approximately half of the systems in the human body. Organization of the body and principles of support, movement, and control systems will be covered. Prerequisite: Math SAT 400 or above; SAT I 440 or above; ACT 18 or above. Co-requisite: BIO-111L. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement.

4.00 Credits
Basic principles describing the characteristic of micro-organisms with an emphasis on structure, metabolism, and genetics. Microbial diseases and infectious cycles will include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and helminthes. An emphasis will be given to the communicable diseases and the routes of entry for infectious diseases. Antibiotic resistance, immunology, and pathogenesis will also be discussed. Important diseases caused by the major microbial groups will be related to the rationale for vaccinations. This course does not count toward a biology major. Co-requisite: BIO-113L.
-
4.00 Credits
The fundamental principles of genetics, cell development, and structure and function in cells, membranes, and molecules as related to organisms are covered. Representative life processes, organisms, and bio-techniques are studied from the cellular perspective to illustrate biological principles. Emphasis is placed upon man's real progress in coping with the new knowledge of biology and its effects on society's perspective about how the knowledge should be used. Prerequisite: Math SAT 440 or above; SAT I 480 or above; ACT 20 or above; or CHE-110 with a grade of "C" or better. This course fulfills the general education lab requirement.
