4.00 Credits
This course is designed for science majors and for students enrolled in the Environmental and Earth Sciences Option. Through laboratory exercises and classroom experiences, the student will investigate and demonstrate an understanding of the processes regulating the distribution and abundance of living organisms. Topics include interactions among organisms and their environment, population ecology, community ecology, and the energy flow and trophic structure of ecosystems. Lecture, laboratory experiences and field trips are designed to introduce qualitative and quantitative methods for the measurement of factors and populations in field situations, procedures for recording and analyzing data, and coverage of current topics and trends in ecology. NOTE: This course is offered only in the Fall Term. (Prerequisites: BIOL 102, MATH 131; Prerequisites or Corequisites: MATH 151 or MATH 152 or appropriate score on the CLM placement test)

4.00 Credits
The biology of pathogenic micro-organisms will be stressed, emphasizing their microscopic and molecular aspects. Students will describe, in detail, the relationship existing between the host-parasite complex during the diseased state. They will also become acquainted with those characteristics which endow certain microbes with a pathogenic nature. Students will be able to list and characterize various pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan parasites. Isolation and identification techniques in microbiology will be mastered by the student in the laboratory. The role of chemotherapy, immunology and serology used to combat pathogens will be examined thoroughly. Finally, the homeostatic defense mechanisms of the body, especially those against invading micro-organisms, will be discussed in great detail. (Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher in BIOL 102 or BIOL 112)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed for the student majoring in science or health science. The course introduces students to the basic principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. These basic principles of pharmacology are covered through discussion of the responses of biological systems to drugs and chemicals. (Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher inBIOL 102 or BIOL 112)

4.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide biology majors with a broad, integrated understanding of contemporary cell and molecular biology, biochemistry and biotechnology. Lecture topics will include: structure and function of biological macromolecules; subcellular aspects of biological organization; gene organization, expression and regulation; recombinant DNA technology, genetic engineering and gene therapy; cell signaling; and cellular aspects of motility, development and cancer. Experimental laboratory exercises will focus on modern, fundamental techniques of molecular biology. Techniques will include: electron microscopy; bacterial culturing; isolation, cloning and sequencing of DNA; plasmid manipulation; gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids; restriction enzyme mapping; methods for analyzing gene expression; computer modeling of protein structure; and DNA database analysis on the Internet. (Prerequisites: A grade of "C" or higher inBIOL 102, CHEM 102 and CHEM 235 or CHEM 203)
-
4.00 Credits
The classification of pathogenic, mycological, protozoan and helmenth forms will be discussed. The student will be required to recognize major morphological structures of the eucaryotes for the purposes of identification. Proper specimen collection and transport will be emphasized for all classes of eucaryotes. Composition and use of various mycological and protozoan culture media will be mastered. (Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher in BIOL 131)
-
4.00 Credits
Students interested in pursuing a particular aspect of biology which extends beyond the scope of existing biology courses may develop a proposal, subject to the approval of a biology department faculty member.
-
6.00 Credits
Students will work in an internship job related to biology and complete internship learning objectives under faculty supervision. Approval of instructor, Department Chairperson and Division Chairperson. (Prerequisite: A grade of "C" orhigher in BIOL 102 or BIOL 112)

The student will be able to use credit judiciously and make rational decisions in utilizing his purchasing power. In addition, the student will be able to identify the basic elements of will and estate planning. The student will have the opportunity to utilize current, userfriendly computer software and instructorcreated exercises to apply the above concepts to their personal financial situation. Field trips may be required. (Prerequisite: MATH 012, MATH 015 or passing score in computation on Basic Skills Test)
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory level course for students with basic computer knowledge and provides a "hands-on" laboratory experience. Thestudent will develop a working knowledge of the computer and work with a variety of software programs such as word processing, spreadsheets, database construction, and income tax preparation. The student will also learn programs such as graphic presentations, record keeping, and loan analysis, as well as learn how to conduct research on the Internet and communicate via email. Students will demonstrate the use of these computer software applications and programs to interpret and analyze diverse economic and financial situations in their personal and professional lives. (Prerequisite: MATH 012, MATH 015 or passing score in computation on Basic Skills Test and READ 092, READ 095 or passing score in reading on Basic Skills Test)
