4.00 Credits
This is a laboratory-oriented course in which gross anatomy and design of the mammal is studied by techniques of dissection and observation. Emphasis is on the spatial relationship of organs and tissues. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit. Not open to students who have taken BIO 135 or BIO 201-202.

3.00 Credits
Aimed at providing students, especially those who are planning to teach, with additional laboratory and field experience, this course explores empirical techniques currently used in a variety of biological subdisciplines. Formulation and testing of hypotheses, experimental design, data analysis and interpretation of results will be addressed. Students will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with various techniques as well as methods of data analysis. A major objective of the course is the development of exercises utilizing these techniques to foster inquiry-based learning in biology. Writing techniques appropriate to the discipline will also be an important component. Two hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or 193, BIO 218.
-
4.00 Credits
A course in development in which the classical approach to the study of vertebrate embryogenesis is presented in the context of developmental biology. Experimental data are underscored in the analysis of differentiation and developmental processes. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193, BIO 218. Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
Following a consideration of fundamental tissues, most of the organ systems of the mammalian body are studied showing how these systems are actually combinations of the basic tissues. Prerequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193, BIO 218. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
This course emphasizes bacteria, but also deals with other groups of organisms recognized as microbes. Topics include the structure, physiology, differentiation and genetics of microorganisms, as well as ecological, industrial and disease relationships. Prerequisites: BIO 191- 192 or BIO 193, BIO 218. CHM 223-224 recommended. Three hours lecture and four hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
The activities of plants support life on earth. An understanding of the biology of plants influences the welfare of humans and other animals. This course explores the diversity and basic biology of plants. Topics include classification, physiology, morphology, evolution, and life cycles. Prerequisites or corequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193, BIO 218, CHM 151-152. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
-
4.00 Credits
Tropical ecology differs in many respects from that of temperate regions. The most striking of these differences occurs in the marine environment. Semester activities will include weekly meetings in which we will examine the flora, fauna and processes that characterize tropical marine systems. The course will end with 10-14 days of intensive field work in the Bahamas, studying the principles discussed in class with special attention to field and lab work as well as an individual research project. Prerequisite: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193 and permission of the instructor. Separate fees will be required for the field portion of the course. Carries biology major credit.

3.00 Credits
See course description for NSS 335.
-
4.00 Credits
Parasitism is the most prevalent and one of the most biologically complex of all symbiotic relationships. Parasites historically have had and continue to have a tremendous impact on the health and welfare of humans and other animals. This course explores the diversity of parasitic organisms and the adaptations which permit them to live in or on other organisms, as well as consequences to the host. Prerequisites or corequisites: BIO 191-192 or BIO 193 and one 200-level course. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week. Carries biology major credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a comprehensive coverage of the basic pathophysiology mechanisms and specific diseases and disorders affecting all of the major organ systems of the human body. The concepts of pathophysiology, especially for the most commonly encountered diseases and disorders, are covered in detail, including such important topics as genetics/heredity, immune system problems, inflammation and infection, endocrinology, and malignant processes. The etiology and progression of disease and disorder states are examined from the micro (cellular) and macro (organ) level. Prerequisites: BIO 201, BIO 202 and BIO 205. Does not carry biology major credit.
