3.00 Credits
This student-designed sequence of courses ex-tends the advanced work of the art student in fine arts, commercial art, or interdisciplinary fields through a research-structured project de-veloped from a previous work. Prerequisite: Permission from the Chair of the De-partment of Art and Music.

3.00 Credits
The first part of a two-term class experience, Se-nior Seminar I begins the process of creating a thesis body of work that will represent both the technical and intellectual summation of the art major's academic experience as well as a bridge to their professional future. Starting with this class and extending over two terms, students will develop an advanced project or series of projects in their chosen concentration; fine arts, graphicdesign, or interdisciplinary fields. Components of Senior Seminar I include: creating a thematically unified series of works, assisting with the design and publication of the Senior Seminar II gra-duates' postcard and catalogue, and developing a portfolio of writings that culminates in an artist's statement and thesis. Regular readings will be assigned and discussed in class. A museum or gallery field trip may also be included. NOTE: This course must be taken in the fall semester before ART 450 Senior Seminar II and one semester prior to graduation

3.00 Credits
Senior Seminar II completes the process of creat-ing a representative body of work that was begun in Senior Seminar I. In this concluding term, stu-dents will finalize their thesis exhibition projects. Components of Senior Seminar II include mounting a professional exhibition of the thesis body of work, writing a thesis paper, and deliver-ing an oral presentation of the thesis exhibition to the College faculty. Regular readings will be assigned and discussed in class. A museum or gallery field trip may be included as well. Prerequisite: ART 449

3.00 Credits
This course affords the student the opportunity to earn college credit while gaining practical ex-perience in the workplace. An experiential learn-ing process, the student may either work with an outside vendor or within the College community on a project or job that relates to their own field of study. Students must complete 90 hours of work and complete specific objectives set down by the assigned mentor. Prerequisite: Permission from the student's advisor or the Chair of the Department of Art and Mu-sic.

4.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure and function of the human body. The course will survey the major systems, including some aspects of genetics, growth and development, nutrition, health and disease. Designed for the non-major. Three lecture-hours and one 150-minute laboratory session weekly. Course in-volves vertebrate dissection. (every semester) (Note: This course cannot be applied towards the biology course requirements of the Biolo-gy degree.) Prerequisite: Competency in basic English skills, as shown by a passing grade in ENG 002 or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
The first of a two-course sequence (BIO 103-104) required for biology majors, providing a foundation for subsequent biology courses. BIO 103 focuses on scientific method, cell structure and function, molecular biology, principles of genetics, evolutionary mechan-isms, and classification and phylogeny of ma-jor groups of organisms. Three lecture-hours and one 2 ? hour laboratory session weekly. Prerequisites: Competence in mathematics and basic English skills, as shown by grades of C or higher in MATH 002, ENG 002 or equiva-lent.
-
4.00 Credits
The second of a two-course sequence (BIO 103-104) required for biology majors. BIO 104 provides a detailed comparative study of anatomical organization, physiological func-tions, development, and reproductive biology of plants and animals, with emphasis on vas-cular plants and vertebrates. Students also in-vestigate ecological interactions and adapta-tions of organisms, population maintenance, and diversity of biological communities. Three lecture-hours and one 2 ? laboratory session weekly. Laboratory includes plant and animaldissection. Prerequisite: A grade of ?C? or higher in BIO 103, or equivalent.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the biological aspects of the aging process: how aging is defined and characterized, biological theories of aging, how aging differs from diseases, and the bio-logical research dealing with the average life expectancy and the individual's life span. In-cluded in the development of these aspects is the biological background content necessary to understand these processes. The biology of selected diseases (cancer, diabetes mellitus, and osteoporosis) and strategies for disease postponement or prevention to maximize human life expectancy are considered. (Note: This course cannot be applied towards the biology course requirements of the Biology degree.) Prerequisite: Competency in basic English skills, as shown by a passing grade in ENG 002 or equivalent
-
1.00 Credits
This course is an exploration of the effects that disease had had on history. Basic con-cepts of disease will be discussed, and their relevance to historical occurrences will be ex-amined. Diseases of influential persons, as well as diseases of groups of people, will be examined. Prerequisite: High School Biology
-
4.00 Credits
A course designed for non-majors that ex-amines the processes that support life, the structure, function, adaptations, and diversity of organisms, and their ecological interactions. Students develop an understanding of the re-lationship of humans to other organisms and discuss examples of current biological disco-veries and how this knowledge is being used to improve human welfare and the environ-ment. Three lecture-hours and one 2 ? hour laboratory session weekly. (every semester) Prerequisites: Competence in mathematics and basic English skills, as shown by a grade of ?C? or higher in MATH 002 and ENG 002 or equivalent.
