1.00 Credits
An introduction to classical and current molecular genetics techniques for studying reproduction and inheritance patterns in living organisms. Designed to provide the "hands-on" experience to facilitate understandingof genetic phenomena. The format is flexible to allow adequate time for the needs of the organisms and procedures. Required of Biology majors. Can be scheduled anytime concurrent with or after passing BY 2003 Genetics.3 hours Laboratory - 1 credit
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the science of aquaculture. The course reviews the history of the science and examines both warm and cold water species. Different rearing systems are studied for the various species. Production, nutrition, diseases, and marketing are also examined. Prerequisite: High School Biology and Chemistry required, Introductory College Biology and Chemistry preferred. 3 hours lecture - 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the characteristics of populations and how populations of different organisms are integrated to form natural communities. Emphasis is placed on freshwater and terrestrial ecology. The laboratory is concerned with methods used to collect and evaluate ecological data. Prerequisite: Biology II or Biological Science II.3 hours Lecture and 3 hours Laboratory— 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
This course presents a comparative study of the structure and evolution of vertebrate organ systems. The laboratory involves a detailed anatomical study of the lamprey, shark, perch, necturus, frog, turtle, pigeon, and cat. Prerequisite: Biology II or Biological Science II. 3 hours Lecture and 3 hours Laboratory - 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the components, structure, integration, interactions, habitats and requirements of native plant communities with emphasis on those of the Mid- Atlantic region. Laboratory includes identification and vegetation analysis of local plant communities. Prerequisite: Biological Science 1. 2 hours Lecture and 3 hours Laboratory - 3 credits
-
3.00 Credits
A review of the biology of birds, including their evolutionary history, anatomy, physiology, and, especially, their behavior. Special attention will be paid to the plight of endangered species and related conservation measures. Students will learn to identify many of the common bird species of eastern North America through slides and frequent bird walks on or near the campus. There will be up to two Saturday field trips. In addition to the textbook and field guide, binoculars will be required. 3 hours Lecture - 3 credits
-
4.00 Credits
Each student in Biology is required to spend 500 hours in approved jobs related to the student's major.

Registration materials are available from the Office of Career and Life Education, located in Segal Hall. 24 weeks of On-the-Job-Training - 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to microorganisms, including their classification, life processes, and ecology. Emphasis is placed on the procaryotic forms of life such as the bacteria. The laboratory involves the study of representative microorganisms as well as the demonstration and use of microbiological techniques. Prerequisites: One semester of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry; Biology II or Biological Science II.3 hours Lecture and 3 hours Laboratory - 4 credits
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of insects, focusing on their uniqueness and importance to the terrestrial biosphere. Topics include systematics, morphology, physiology, and ecology with an emphasis on adaptation. The laboratory work includes the creation of a collection of locally occurring insects and their relatives. Prerequisite: Biology II or Biological Science II. 2 hours Lecture and 3 hours Laboratory - 3 Credits
-
3.00 Credits
This course develops an appreciation and understanding of the scope and organization of the solar system, Milky Way galaxy and the Universe.
