-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A continuation course of Biology 206 covering cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems of the human body. Pre-requisite: Biology 206.
-
4.00 Credits
This eight day session at Okaw Bluffs at Lake Shelbyville is an intensive introduction to terrestrial and aquatic life of central Illinois. Students will collect and examine specimens, become familiar with basic field techniques, learn to recognize specific plants, animals, and microscopic organisms, and investigate their habitats. Descriptive and simple statistical observations will be required. Freshwater and forest habitats found in Illinois will be emphasized, but rainforest and desert systems are included briefly to focus on plant and animal relationships. Familiarity with the physical environment and common organisms should increase as specific identification methods are introduced. This course involves you with the process of biology. Your field investigations are the most important activities in this course. Plant collections, insect collections, a research problem, and specific journal entries will be required. This course satisfies the MPSL lab science requirement as well as the off campus learning requirement. It will count as a Biology category 1 class for PT/OT majors.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of bacteria and viruses and their relationship to health and disease including bacterial nutrition, control, genetics, and disease etiology. The course is designed for students in the Biology Allied Health Track and nursing majors. Pre-requisites: one Biology course (Biology 206 suggested).

4.00 Credits
This is a travel course designed to familiarize students with principles of ecology in exotic or unusual environments, with an emphasis on identification of common species and interactions between species. Students are expected to attend all class sessions during the semester as well as make the extended field trip to the off-campus site, such as in Costa Rica, Alaska, and South Africa. Students are required to research and present information to the group about assigned sites before the trip. Students registered for BI 380 will also work together to design and carry out field investigations to be conducted on the trip, and to present the results of those investigations after the trip. Students are responsible for travel costs and for obtaining necessary documents and medical precautions for travel to the specific site. No pre-requisites for Biology 280: Biology 105/155 and 108/158 are pre-requisites for BI 380. Instructor consent is required for all students. This course counts as a lab science and as off campus study for the MPSL and is also a Biology category 1 or 2 class.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is appropriate for students interested in doing undergraduate research at Millikin and/or pursuing a career in scientific research. Students will be introduced to biological literature, experimental design, data collection and analysis, scientific writing, as well as presentation and publication methods. Each student develops a research proposal. Career options in biological research will also be discussed. Pre-requisite: sophomore or junior standing.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies of the structure, function and transmission of hereditary material. Topics include patterns of inheritance and statistical analysis; molecular, biochemical and microbial genetics; gene regulation, mutation and recombinant DNA. Concurrent enrollment in Biology 350. Pre-requisites: Biology 105/155 and/or 108/158 or consent of instructor.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study of the vertebrate body plan emphasizing comparative morphology of the organ systems correlated with change in function and environment. Lectures include general concepts and terminology, protochordates, vertebrate classification, mechanisms of vertebrate evolution, and the comparative morphology of the various organ systems. Laboratory activities include the dissection of the dogfish shark and cat. Pre-requisites: Biology 105/155 and/or 108/158 or consent of instructor.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course addresses the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs. Topics include general principles of light and electron microscopy, cytology, the primary tissues, and organology. Laboratory work involves examination of histological slides of tissues under the microscope. Pre-requisite: Biology 305/355 or consent of instructor. Alternate years.
