-
3.00 Credits
3 credits An introduction to the biology of aging manifest in the cells, tissues, and organs of animals and humans. Three hours of lecture per week.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits An introductory course for non-science majors in which students develop an understanding of biological evolution, the molecular basis of heredity, the cell, matter, energy and organization in living systems, and the interdependence of organisms. In addition, students will develop an understanding of science as a human endeavor, the nature of scientific knowledge, and historical perspectives. Through investigative activities, students will develop an understanding about scientific inquiry and develop abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits An introductory biology course focusing on animal form and function. Evolution, genetics, physiology and ecology are emphasized. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits An introductory biology course focusing on plant form and function. Evolution, genetics, physiology and ecology are emphasized. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits An introductory biology course focusing on basic cell biology. Cell diversity and function, genetics and biotechnology are emphasized. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits An introduction to drug discovery and development. Topics include how drugs are used to diagnosis, cure, treat, and prevent disease and how drugs affect body function. The origins of diseases and the early attempts at treatment are also covered. Designed for business majors; does not satisfy requirements for the biology major. Prerequisite: BIO-100 or BIO-101 or BIO-106 or BIO-108 or BPY-107 or CHE-115.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits An internship that provides students with the experience in the practical aspects of medicine. Major departments in the hospital such as the emergency room, operating room, clinic, radiology, and the laboratory will be open for student rotations. Field trips to various medical schools in the area will provide information on professional school educational opportunities available in the health professions. Prerequisites: sophomore standing or above and permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits A comprehensive survey of the structure and function of musculo-skeletal systems, neuroendocrine systems and related tissues and cellular interactions. Physiological applications include homeostasis, muscle dynamics, and cell activities. Laboratory exercises complement lecture material through the use of animal dissections, wet labs, computerassisted investigations, microscopy, and models. Exams, case histories, personal investigations, and lab practicums assess learning. Course emphasis supports allied health and pre-professional training. The course material is sequential: BIO-221 must be successfully completed before admission to BIO-222. Designed for allied health students; does not satisfy requirements for the biology major. Prerequisite: BIO-115.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits A comprehensive survey of the organ systems of the body including special senses, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, excretory, reproduction and development. Physiological components include electrolytes, metabolism, nutrition, and the mechanisms of homeostasis and cell reception. Lab studies support lecture material through dissections, wet labs, computer-assisted learning, microscopy, and models. Assessment includes lab practicums, exams, and reports. Course emphasis supports allied health and pre-professional training. Designed for allied health students; does not satisfy requirements for the biology major. Prerequisites: BIO-221 and CHE-120, CHE-121, CHE-122, CHE-123 recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits An examination of transmission, cyto-, bacterial, molecular, developmental, quantitative, and population genetics. Emphasis will be placed on genetic analysis. Laboratory investigations will include Mendelian, cytogenetic, and molecular analyses of a variety of model systems (Drosophila, ascomycetes, E. coli, plants, humans). Three hours of lecture and one three-hour lab per week. Prerequisites: BIO-115, BIO-116 or BPY-118, BIO-117. Spring.
