3.00 Credits
It is an interdisciplinary, introductory course taught by a team from the biology and psychology departments. The course will focus on using the processes of addiction to alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, and psychomotor stimulants to teach the basics of biological and psychological sciences. Example topic areas include neurological/ brain function, impact on cognitive function, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, emotion and motivation, learning and memory, physiology and pharmacology, and the psychosocial aspects of addictions. Cannot be used as A or B elective for biology majors. Preparation for Course P: Placement at or above ENG W131. Cr. 3.

3.00 Credits
Advances in genetics will be examined using diverse topics such as cloning and alteration of human genes and/or embryos, genetic screening, and genetic manipulation of other organisms. Students will gain understanding of basic methods utilized by geneticists and learn to critically analyze published data. Reading the discussions related to ethical, social, political, and economic issues will help assess the impact of current developments in genetics. Research on a selected topic leading to an oral presentation and a term paper will provide opportunities for synthesis. Some hands-on laboratory experience will also be an integral part of this course. Cannot be used as a group A or B elective for biology majors. Preparation for Course P: 100, junior standing, and completion of General Education Area I or instructor's permission. Cr. 3.

3.00 Credits
This course presents a basic understanding of how the human body ages from the biological standpoint. The student will gain an understanding of biological and physiological changes associated with aging in various organ systems. Discussions of potential intervention strategies and ways to extend the quality of life during aging will be presented. The course is primarily geared toward the student interested in obtaining a certificate in gerontology. Cannot be used as a group A or B elective for biology majors. Cr. 3.
