3.00 Credits
A course for the non-science major. Emphasis is placed upon identifying and studying topics of a biological nature that are relevant to modern society. A laboratory is included. P. McCarthy, S. Mistry.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a cluster course for the non-science major. Historical aspects of organic evolution are examined, from its inception to our current understanding of this unifying theory of biology. The modern genetic theory of evolution as a continuing process is emphasized, as are the ways that evolution as a theory is testable by the scientific method. A laboratory is included. Students must also register for ENG 106. J. Balczon.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of aging as a normal biological process characterized by progressive changes in form and function at all levels of organization—molecules, cells, tissues, organs, and the whole organism. Current models to explain the phenomenon of aging are examined. Larger issues including the moral and ethical implications of increased longevity are considered. A laboratory is included. Students must also register for SOC 301. Not open to biology and molecular biology majors. Prerequisite: none. P. McCarthy.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a cluster course for the non-major. In it, students will learn how scientific discoveries are made and they will use the scientific method to investigate biological systems. Ecological concepts will be used to illustrate biological patterns at the individual, population, and community level and to explain the importance of change in the natural world. A laboratory which emphasizes field work is included. A. Throckmorton.
-
3.00 Credits
A course designed to introduce the student to the workings of the human body. Emphasis will be placed on an understanding of how an homeostatic balance must be maintained for proper functioning of our various organ systems. A laboratory is included. This course is intended for non-science majors and is not open to biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, or environmental science majors. Prerequisite: none.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated study of ocean science for non-majors. The concepts addressed allow students to understand topics of geological, physical and biological oceanography that are important in life. Laboratory activities are diverse and include marine geography, physical and chemical properties of seawater, tides, living plants and animals of the ocean and a required field trip to a seaquarium. Prerequisite: none.
-
3.00 Credits
Our world is increasingly influenced by scientific discoveries and applications of the Human Genome Project. The primary objectives of this course are to provide college students with a fundamental understanding of scientific technologies and concepts underlying the genetic research and to make students aware of the ethical, social, and legal implications of this extraordinary event. Students will also develop an appreciation for the types of questions that science can and cannot answer using the scientific approach. During laboratory sessions, students will study the inheritance patterns of humans and other organisms, extract DNA from their own cells, analyze their DNA using a variety of genetic techniques and participate in a mock trial. Prerequisite: none.
-
3.00 Credits
A biology course for non-majors that will consider biological concepts presented in monster films. The course will consider concepts from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecological principles. The films will be used as points of departure to discuss the reality and fiction inherent in the science that is presented. A laboratory is included. Prerequisite: none. J. Balczon.
