This course considers the human being as a whole organism, with emphasis on human body systems, diseases from malfunctional perspective, environment, and hereditary traits. Laboratory topics cover simple internal anatomy, genetic problems, foodbourne disease investigation, and presentations on human diseases. This course does not satisfy any requirement for the Math/Science, Computer Science or Science degrees. PR: Two years of high school science or math or consent of the department

3.00 Credits
This is a one-semester course which will address some of the major problems and issues in biology. Cell structure and function, the nutritional needs of cells and organisms, the universal nature of the genetic code which allows genetic engineering, the effects of pollutants and the basic concepts of ecology are among the topics which will be covered. An appreciation of the scientific method and the types of questions science can answer will be fostered.

4.00 Credits
This first semester of a one-year course explores in depth, the principles of modern biology. The development of molecular biology and its techniques will be examined along with its impact on modern concepts of cell structure and physiology, cell reproduction and energy transfer. Genetics, including the structure and role of DNA, is examined. Changes in DNA over time, that is, evolution and adaptation, are discussed. The laboratory portion of the course consists of topics correlating with lecture and designed to lead the student into independent and/or team research and thought. There is a semester-long research project on Mendelian Genetics. PR: Three years of high school math, high school biology and chemistry (all taken within the past three years) OR BIO 111 or BIO 112 and CHM 113 (all taken with the past two years.)

3.00 Credits
This second semester of a one-year course explores in depth, the principles of molecular, cellular and organismal biology. Topics included will be the molecular basis of inheritance, evolution, population genetics, microbes, six-kingdom analysis, and the systems of the human body. The laboratory portion of the course is designed in three parts. Part one consists of learning techniques in molecular biology. Part two involves learning characteristics of the six-kingdom system and dissection of the fetal pig for different body systems. Part three consists of conducting a laboratory research project with a formal presentation of the research results. PR: BIO 141

3.00 Credits
Students are introduced to the most popular e-Commerce business models and discuss their strengths and weaknesses. This course is designed to teach students how to create a business plan and form into work teams to operate an Internet-based news company providing information about various academic units such as sports, music, drama, and culinary arts. Students will be required to research, collect, prepare, and enter data into their sites. Students are taught the Web's history, its impact on society, up-to-date techniques for creating revenue-generating Web sites and then apply those techniques to their sites. Students are taught the importance of security, privacy, and social responsibility for successful e-Commerce. Students will be required to make use of computer facilities to complete assignments. PR: CSS 123 and CSS 125
