-
3.00 Credits
Principles underlying gene expression in higher eukaryotes, examined through selected genetic pathologies. The course seeks to increase students' facility in making creative use of the primary scientific literature. Three lecture hours per week. Prerequisite(s): Biology 201. Unit(s): 1
-

Regular attendance in program seminars and written analysis of presentations. May be repeated for credit, normally taken in junior year. Meets one hour per week. Prerequisite(s): Instructor approval Unit(s): 0.25
-
1.50 Credits
Supervised independent work under field conditions. Designed to give student applied experience in biological specialty. No more than 1.5 units of internship in any one department and 3.5 units of internship overall may be counted toward required degree units. Prerequisite(s): Biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, or environmental studies major at junior or senior rank. Unit(s): 0.5
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth study of biological topics not included in other courses. Students work independently, but under the supervision of a faculty member. Must be approved by department chair and instructor. Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor. Unit(s): 0.25-1
-
3.00 Credits
Special topics for junior and senior students with emphasis on topics presented in the Biology Seminar Series. One lecture hour per week. Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor. Unit(s): 0.25
-

-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory or field-centered independent study. May be taken twice for credit. Will be graded on a pass/fail basis. Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor. Unit(s): 1
-
3.00 Credits
Sources, behavior, and effects of chemical pollutants in the air, water, and soil. Topics include global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, pesticides, and radioactive waste. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Does not count toward the chemistry major or minor. Prerequisite(s): None (high school chemistry desirable). General Education Requirement: (FSNC) Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: Chemistry 110 will not count towards the major.
-
3.00 Credits
A laboratory-based course in which students learn the language and techniques used in industrial and forensic laboratories to conduct organic chemical analysis. Students become "chemistry detectives," able to solve the types of "chemistry puzzles" that are characteristic of the fun part of doing chemistry (e.g. how chemists, such as forensic and pharmaceutical chemists, determine the structure of real-world unknown compounds). A range of applications of this chemistry is discussed, including such topics as environmental, medicinal, polymer, forensic and industrial chemistries, government regulations, natural products, pheromones, and information retrieval. In the process, students will gain hands-on experience using modern instrumentation, including IR, NMR, GC-Mass Spec, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Does not count toward the chemistry major or minor. Prerequisite(s): High school chemistry or permission of instructor. General Education Requirement: (FSNC) Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: Chemistry 111 will not count towards the major.
-
3.00 Credits
The genomics revolution of the last 10 years has given birth to the "proteome," emphasizing the central role that proteins play in virtually all life and death processes. This course will explore central features of what proteins look like and how they perform their varied functions in a variety of biological and chemical processes. These will include aspects of cell differentiation, cell death, and disease states such as cancer, Alzheimer's, and viral infections by Epstein-Barr virus, papillomavirus, and AIDS. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Does not count toward the chemistry major or minor. General Education Requirement: (FSNC) Unit(s): 1
