10.00 - 12.00 Credits
A work-oriented experience for junior or senior students interested in environmental science. Students work on projects jointly sponsored by the Clean Water Institute and a public or private agency. The practicum is designed to integrate classroom theory with field and/or laboratory practice. In addition to attendance at a weekly seminar, students spend 10-12 hours per week at the sponsoring agency or project. Academic work includes, but is not limited to a log, readings, recitation and an assigned research paper related to the specific agency or project activity. May be repeated once for credit with consent of instructor.

3.00 Credits
Detailed examination of the origins, structure, and functions of the principal organs of the vertebrates. Special attention is given to the progressive modification of organs from lower to higher vertebrates. Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110-111. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the basic body tissues and the microscopic anatomy of the organs and structures of the body which are formed from them. Focus is on normal human histology. Three hours of lecture and one four-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110-111. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the genomes of humans, other animals, plants, and microbes to identify characteristics unique to specific groups as well as genomic features shared by multiple groups. These genomic studies include analysis of gene expression and networks of interacting proteins. The application of this information in the fields of medicine, agriculture, and evolution will be emphasized. The laboratory integrates experiments at the lab bench with a substantial bioinformatics component. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111 and 222. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
An intensive study of the cell as the basic unit of life. Topics will include: origins of cellular life, biochemistry of the cell, enzymatic reactions, cellular membranes, intracellular communication, the cell cycle, the cytoskeleton and cell motility, protein sorting, distribution and secretion. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110-111 and one semester of organic chemistry. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the origin and modification of life on earth. Topics discussed include molecular evolution, population genetics, gene flow, natural selection, sexual selection, kin selection, neutral theory, extinction, coevolution, and the evolution of man. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110-111, or consent of instructor. Alternate years.
-
2.00 Credits
An in-depth analysis of fundamental cellular information flow processes with particular emphasis on how these processes have been applied in the laboratory, resulting in technologies such as DNA cloning and sequencing, the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), genetic testing, gene therapy, genetic engineering, DNA forensics, and microarrays. Two hours of lecture, a onehour lab and a three-hour lab per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110 - 111 and 222. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is concerned with the relationships of heredity to disease. Discussions will focus on topics such as chromosomal abnormalities, metabolic variation and disease, somatic cell genetics, genetic screening, and immunogenetics. Laboratory exercises will offer practical experiences in genetic diagnostic techniques. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110-111. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
The biology of parasites and parasitism. Studies on the major groups of animal parasites and anthropod vectors of disease will involve taxonomy and life cycles. Emphasis will be made on parasites of medical and veterinary importance. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 110-111. Alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
Emphasis is given to the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids; integration of metabolism; and biochemical control mechanisms, including allosteric control, induction, repression, signal transduction as well as the various types of inhibitive control mechanisms. Three hours of lecture, one three-hour laboratory and one hour of arranged work per week. Prerequisite: CHEM 221, or consent of instructor. Cross-listed as CHEM 444. Alternate years.
