Epidemiological principles and methods are presented with emphasis on the health status and health needs of a population, on levels of prevention, on susceptibility, communicability, and modes of transmission and on promotion of health using various strategies. Statistical measures are applied to describe the incidence and prevalence of disease, fertility rates, morbidity and mortality rates, health beliefs and behaviors, socioeconomic, ethnic and racial disparities, causality of disease and disability, and risk factors for the purpose of evidence-based decision making in public health. Prerequisites or corequisites: BIO 201 and BIO 202 or equivalent; BIO 205 or BIO 325; MTH 11 0 or MTH 111 ; a research methods course such as NSG 350 or PSY/SOC/CJS 201 or PSC 202, BIO 499 or by permission of the chair. Does not carry biology major credit.

In this class, students will come to recognize that Earth’s biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere operate in complexly linked systems in which various components are exchanged over greatly varying time scales. Using laboratory and field studies, students will measure, discuss and define the impact of global change on natural systems. Prerequisites: CHM 151-152 and a minimum of 15 credits of BIO, including at least one course in the Ecology/Population Biology area.

This seminar will offer advanced students the opportunity to further develop research and presentation skills required in graduate or medical school. Cancer biology is an area of intense research in fields ranging from toxicology and environmental biology to molecular biology. This seminar will examine the cell and molecular basis of cancer as a means to improve students’ ability to critically evaluate the scientific literature. Students will select papers from the scientific literature for analysis and presentation in both written and oral formats. Students may be required to attend a scientific lecture off campus during the semester. Prerequisites or corequisites: Junior or senior standing in biological sciences or biochemistry or permission of the instructor. Thre hours of lecture per week. Carries biology major credit.

This seminar will offer upper level students in the sciences the opportunity to develop or enhance research and presentation skills required in graduate or professional school. Improper use and disposal of chemicals and physical agents by humans have caused a number of adverse effects in all living things. This seminar will specifically focus on environmental contaminants what have been shown to alter the function of the endocrine system in wildlife and humans. Although this course will utilize textbooks, it will rely heavily on the scientific literature for additional readings and assignments. Students may be required to attend one scientific lecture off campus during the semester. Prerequisites or corequisites: junior or senior standing in biological sciences, biochemistry or permission of the instructor. Carries biology major credit.
