4.00 Credits
This course focuses on physical and biological aspects of freshwater lakes and streams, emphasizing the application of ecological theory. Lectures will cover lentic (lake) and lotic (stream), wetlands and groundwater ecology. The laboratories are fi eld-oriented and allow students the opportunity to use state-of-the-art instrumentation while applying lessons learned in the classroom. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 3306 with a C or better. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will start with the foundation from Fundamentals of Ecology and examine more closely the relationships between organisms and their terrestrial environment. A number of different ecological sampling and research methods will be studied and utilized. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 3306 with a C or better. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.

4.00 Credits
This course is a study of general principles of biochemistry, including the synthesis and metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. The course integrates theory, concepts and applications. It encompasses the molecules of life, the dynamic function of biomolecules, the storage and transfer of biological information and bioenergetics of cells and organ systems. 4 hours of lecture per week. PR: CHEM 2202, and either MATH 1185 or MATH 1190. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
4.00 Credits
This course explores the fundamental functional processes of animals. Major topics may include energetics, digestion, neurology, endocrinology, immunology, muscle physiology, circulatory physiology, respiratory physiology, osmoregulation and thermoregulation. The emphasis will be on the investigation of physiological processes as evolutionary adaptations. Students will cooperatively design and complete research projects. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour lab per week. PR: BIOL 2203 with a C or better, CHEM 1106 and 1113. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
4.00 Credits
Plant physiology is the study of how plants function. Major topics will include transpiration, plant nutrition, photosynthesis, hormone regulation of plant development, plant movement and responses to environmental stresses. Students will be expected to design and complete physiology research projects. 3 hours of lecture and one 3- hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 2202 with a C or better, and CHEM 1106 and 1113. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
4.00 Credits
This course builds upon genetic principles introduced in Biology 105 and 106. Topics covered include extensions of Mendelian genetics, gene mapping, chromosomal structure and mutation, DNA replication, mutation and repair and gene expression and its regulation. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory session per week. PR: CHEM 1106 and 1113, BIOL 1105 and 1106. Fall semester only.
-
4.00 Credits
Writing Intensive This course is a study of the theoretical basis of techniques used in biotechnology, and the application of these techniques to biological research in academic and industrial settings. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 3380, CHEM 2201, and either MATH 1185 or MATH 1190. Spring semester only.
-
4.00 Credits
This course contains a detailed study of gametogenesis, fertilization and embryonic development patterns of organisms. The role of gene expression in these events will be emphasized. 3 hours of lecture and one 3-hour laboratory per week. PR: BIOL 2202 and 2203 with a C or better. Offered on rotation. See Biology program website for rotation schedule.
-
2.00 Credits
This culminating experience requires students to utilize their knowledge of biology, as well as their analytical and critical thinking skills, to explore important topics in the biological sciences in a cooperative learning environment. Students will be expected to read, interpret, moderate discussions and formally present information from current research and review papers to an audience of their peers and biology faculty. Two hours of class meeting per week. PR: Senior standing. Spring semester only.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed for students who have interest in a specifi c problem in biology. It should not be used as a means of meeting requirements but rather as a research course that goes beyond the usual courses in developing the student’s body of knowledge. PR: 20 hours of biological courses and instructor’s consent.
