-
4.00 - 16.00 Credits
This opportunity is specifically required for Community Arts majors or minors as well as Design majors. It establishes advanced field study in the discipline in a setting outside the campus context. The internship will be arranged by the student in consultation with the advisor and assessment will be through contractual arrangement with the guiding mentor. (Community Arts majors are encouraged to do this through HECUA.) (Prerequisite: consent of advisor)
-
1.00 Credits
This course serves as the capstone experience in the Art Department. The course will vary somewhat based on the student's degree sought. It will normally be the production of a solo exhibition, or of a professional design portfolio, or a Community Arts experience. The work produced and presented must be the student's current work. Individual directions will be developed with the professor and student's advisor. (Prerequisite: senior status)
-
3.00 Credits
This course challenges students to confront, evaluate, and integrate the major discoveries and principles of the biological sciences within their world view as members of contemporary society. Major themes of the course include the role of genes and inheritance in human growth and development; health and behavior; human origin and relationship to the Earth's biodiversity; and human impact on, role within, and responsibility for the integrity of the biosphere. Lectures, readings, discussions, films, and laboratory activities comprise the course. (Prerequisites: none. Students planning further study in biology or other natural sciences should complete BIO120 and BIO130.)
-
4.00 Credits
Emphasizing inquiry and investigation, this course introduces students to the discoveries, both historical and contemporary, that support the unifying theories of modern biological science. Topics considered include the nature and methods of modern biological science; the basis of life in terms of matter, energy, cells, genetics, and reproduction; and the impact of evolution on the unity of life. The course is comprised of lectures, readings, discussions, written assignments, films, and an inquiry-based laboratory component. (Recommended prerequisites: one year of high school biology and chemistry and four years of high school mathematics) )
-
4.00 Credits
Current and competing hypotheses explaining the origin, development, and maintenance of the Earth's biodiversity are critically evaluated. Employing a phylogenetic approach and emphasizing the Eukaryota, the major lineages of life are surveyed and compared by considering evolutionary trends and the relationships between structure and function within and among lineages. Abiotic and biotic factors, including human activity, influencing populations, communities, ecosystems and the biosphere are explored. The course is comprised of lectures, readings, discussions, written assignments, films, and an inquiry-based laboratory component. (Recommended prerequisites: one year of high school biology and chemistry and four years of high school mathematics)
-
5.00 Credits
This course is a study of the principles of heredity based upon concepts and principles of the gene. Major topics include Mendelian genetics, sex determination and sex linkage, gene mapping, structure and function of DNA, translation, transcription, recombinant DNA technology, chromosome mutations and aberrations, transposons, extranuclear genomes and quantitative genetics. Problem solving will be emphasized. Three lecture/discussion sections and one three-hour laboratory period per week. (Prerequisite: BIO120)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a study of botany based primarily upon morphological and physiological concepts and principles. Major topics include the plant cell; the ontogeny, structure and physiology of plant tissues and organs; and the forms, phylogeny and life cycles of representative plant groups. Three lecture/demonstration sessions and one two-hour laboratory period per week. (Prerequisites: BIO120 and BIO130 or instructor consent)
-
5.00 Credits
This course provides a comparative study of major animal groups within a taxonomic, morphological and physiological framework. Major topics include animal cells, animal tissues, organ systems, animal phylogeny, life cycles and development. Three lecture sessions and one three-hour laboratory period per week. (Prerequisite: BIO120)
-
5.00 Credits
This course provides the students with an opportunity to master a number of molecular biology techniques that are used in modern research laboratories. Major topics may include DNA isolation, Polymerase Chain Reaction, Gel Electrophoresis, DNA binding assays, DNA sequencing, Southern blot analysis and Western blot analysis. Five hours laboratory/lecture periods per week. (Prerequisite: BIO120)
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is designed to give second and third year students the opportunity to work on a research project with a faculty mentor. Projects will vary depending on the faculty member. Students will spend three hours in the laboratory with the professor per credit earned. Students are limited to a total of 10 credit hours to count towards graduation. (Prerequisite: BIO120 and/or instructor consent)
