3.00 Credits
The major topics of concern in the multifaceted discipline of environmental science will be examined. Emphasis will be placed on the understanding of environmental problems from the societal, biological, economic, and ecological points of view and the potential or actual solutions to these problems. This course meets for three hours of lecture each week. This course satisfies the ecology/evolution elective area. Alternate years, spring '10.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
As needed.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
For students at the sophomore level or above who wish to arrange a practicum in the laboratory or other appropriate direct-experience learning situation in biology. Prerequisites: 15 hours of related coursework, grade point average consistent with biology program graduation requirements, and permission of the instructor. No more than eight credit hours combined total for this practicum and any internship may be counted as credit toward the major. As needed.

4.00 Credits
Ecology is the study of the diverse interactions between organisms and their environment, both living and non-living. These interactions drive the organization of life at many levels from individuals to ecosystems. This course examines the connection between ecological interactions and the organization of life, including the evolutionary responses of organisms, population dynamics, energy and nutrient cycling in ecosystems, community structure and global ecology. There will be a required field trip early in the semester. The class meets for three hours of lecture each week and one three-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111 and CHE 105, 106, or consent of instructor. Annually, fall.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is an integrated study of basic human anatomy and physiology involving concurrent study of structure and function of human organ systems. Lectures emphasize physiological aspects of organ system function within the context of basic anatomy. Laboratories concentrate on anatomy with an emphasis on dissections and some physiological experimentation. This course satisfies either the cell/molecular or organismal elective area. This course meets for three hours of lecture each week and two two-hour laboratory periods each week. Prerequisites: BIO 101 or 110 or equivalent or consent of instructor. Annually, Spring.
-
5.00 Credits
This course deals with the morphology, genetics, physiology, and ecology of bacteria and other microbes. In the laboratory microbiological techniques and applications are stressed. This course meets for three hours of lecture each week and two two-hour laboratory periods per week. This course satisfies either the cell/molecular or organismal elective area. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111 and CHE 105, 106, or consent of instructor. Alternate years, Fall '10.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the biology of all cells with an emphasis placed on eukaryotic cells. Organelles will be studied with attention to their composition, organization, and function. Additional topics to be covered are protein structure/function, bioenergetics, protein sorting, cell communication, and regulation of the cell cycle. The laboratory will emphasize various methods used by cell biologists as powerful tools for examining cell function. This course meets for three hours of lecture each week and one three-hour laboratory each week. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111 and CHE 105, 106 and junior standing, or consent of instructor. Annually, Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the biology of local flora. Lectures will emphasize the taxonomy, ecology, and evolution of the vascular plants. Laboratory periods will be used to acquaint students with plant species and communities in the area and to give them experience with plant identification. This course satisfies either the organismal or ecology/evolution elective area. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111, or consent of instructor. Alternate years, Fall '09.
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an in-depth investigation of the morphology, physiology, phylogeny, taxonomy and natural history of the invertebrate animals, more than 95% of animal species. Lectures will highlight the distinctive features of animal phyla with an emphasis on major innovations in the evolution of animal life. Laboratories will examine the structure, function and identification of invertebrates. Students will be required to prepare an insect collection. This course meets for three hours of lecture and one threehour laboratory period each week. This course satisfies either the organismal or ecology/evolution elective area. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111, or consent of instructor. Alternate years, Spring '11.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the fundamental events of embryonic development, with an emphasis on genetic and molecular approaches used in modern experimental embryology. As modern developmental biology employs information and techniques from many different fields of biology, this course provides the challenge of learning and integrating diverse topics in biology, including cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and evolution. We explore the common features of development that are shared by different kinds of organisms and emphasize how diverse organisms use the same signaling and regulatory molecules during embryogenesis. This course meets for three hours of lecture each week. This course satisfies either the cell/molecular or organismal elective area. Prerequisites: BIO 110, 111, 211 and CHE 105, 106, or consent of instructor. Alternate years, spring '10.
