4.00 Credits
4 Credits Introduction to the diversity of the Animal Kingdom, including taxonomy, evolution, and life cycles. This course also covers the structure, function, and integration of the animal body systems. Labs are experimental and descriptive.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits Pre-requisite: Environmental Science This course is designed to provide the student with experience in basic field testing methods for environmental science. The course will introduce field sampling equipment, include instruction on the proper ways to use the equipment, and descriptions on how to collect water, air, and soil samples for testing. Environmental Field Sampling Techniques will include not only ilaboratory demonstrations with sampling equipment but field trips and guest speakers who are experts in the field.

4.00 Credits
4 Credits Pre-requisite: Biology of Animals This course is an in depth study comparative study of the mammalian body, including cell structure and function, and the following body systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, excretory, and digestive. The laboratory covers gross comparative anatomy, and the histology of tissues and organs.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits Pre-requisite is Animal Anatomy or instructor permission This course is an in depth study of mammalian physiology and behavior, with an emphasis on homeostasis and the interaction of the major body systems. The organs and organ systems covered in depth include the nervous system, endocrine system, circulatory system and reproductive system. The relationship between body regulation and the expression of behaviors will be studied

4.00 Credits
4 Credits Pre-requisites: the Biology of Plants and Biology of Animals, and General Chemistry II This course covers general genetic principles and topics specific to human genetics. Topics will include the basic features of DNA replication and gene expression, and the passage of genetic material to daughter cells (cell division). Classic Mendelian inheritance, family pedigrees, and non-Mendelian inheritance are studied by solving problems applying the principles of genetics. The effects of mutation and recombination on human inheritance will be discussed. Molecular genetics topics will include DNA and gene analysis and transfer techniques, gene therapy, genetic cloning, and the Human Genome Project.

4.00 Credits
4 Credits Pre-requisites: The Biology of Plants and Cells and Biology of Animals, and General Chemistry I This course covers the structure, function, physiology, genetics, and taxonomy of microorganisms. It stresses their relationship to the environment and other organisms, their impact on food, water, soil, agriculture, genetic engineering, and medicine is emphasized. The laboratory covers proper collection of specimens, aseptic technique, cultivation, identification, and the application of genetic engineering techniques.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits Pre-requisite : The Biology of Plants and The Biology of Animals A study of the dynamics of population growth, predator-prey interaction, competition theory, and biogeography. The mechanisms that regulate population numbers and species co-existence are examined. Emphasis is placed on the impact of the non-native (invasive) species on native populations. Topics include resource allocation patterns, life-history strategies, breeding systems, competition, stress tolerance, and ecological management practices.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credits Pre-requisites: Ecology and Senior standing or instructor permission An intensive study of a particular problem or topic in the field of Biology to be chosen by the student. The course includes lecture, discussion groups, student presentations, and discussion of recent professional and popular publications.
