1.00 - 2.00 Credits
This course focuses on first-hand field experience in the Ozark mountains and valleys. Emphasis will be placed upon field identification of plants and animals associated with the diverse Ozark natural communities and these organisms' adaptations to these ecosystems. This field experience may be taken for 1 or 2 credit hours depending upon the length of the field trip (1 or 2 weeks). Prerequisites: BIO:148 with grade of "C" or better or approval of instructor and Reading Proficiency.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines human health and disease from a biological perspective. We will explore the evolution of microbes and human disease. This course will also look at the influences that regular exercise, diet, and genetic factors have on everyday good health. The mechanisms, manifestations, and prevention of common diseases, such as heart disease and cancer, will also be stressed. Prerequisite: Reading Proficiency.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to instruct students in the common calculations encountered in a cellular-molecular research setting. Prerequisites: MTH:140 and (CHM:101 or CHM:105). Reading Proficiency.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to microbes with emphasis on morphology, culture techniques and biochemical activities of bacteria, viruses and fungi. A consideration of human disease producing organisms with regard to their infection and resistance. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisites: (1) BIO:111 with grade of "C" or better; or (2) one year of high school biology and chemistry (with labs) within previous five years of registration date; or (3) permission of the Department Chairperson of Biology; Reading Proficiency.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the organization of cells into tissues, organs, and organ systems, with special in-depth study of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and endocrine system, and the sensory receptors. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisite: (1) BIO:111 with grade of "C" or better; or (2) one year of high school biology and chemistry (with labs) within previous five years of registration date; or (3) permission of the Department Chairperson of Biology; Reading Proficiency.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of BIO:207 with consideration given to the integrative functions of the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, urogenital and reproductive and endocrine systems. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisites: BIO:207 and Reading Proficiency.
-
3.00 Credits
Kinesiology is the study of human movement. It involves applying the anatomy of the musculo-skeletal system to functional movement as a basis to understanding of exercise. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisites: BIO:207 and Reading Proficiency.
-
5.00 Credits
This course is a study of the organization and integration of the body's systems. The course progresses from the organization of cells into tissues, organs, and organ systems, to an in-depth study of the physiology, diseases, and other abnormal conditions of the body. Additional hours required. Prerequisites: BIO:111 with a C or better, or approval of department chair and Reading Proficiency.
-
4.00 Credits
A course for biotechnology majors providing a detailed exposure to structure, metabolism, genetics and growth characteristics of microbes and viruses as well as the role they play in disease, ecological and industrial applications. The structure and function of the immune system will also be covered. Additional lab hours required. Prerequisites: BIO:140 and CHM:105. Reading Proficiency.
-
5.00 Credits
This course introduces basic biotechnology skills in preparation for Biotechnology II. Topics and techniques may include safety, cGMP, agarose gel electrophoresis, plasmid construction, ELISA, PAGE, PCAR, mammalian cell culture, rapid plant genotyping and other molecular research techniques. Additional laboratory hours required. Prerequisites: BIO:104 with a "C" or better, BIO:140, GE:101. Reading Proficiency.
