. Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) A detailed study of the structure and function of the human body. Homeostatic mechanisms are emphasized. Laboratory experiences include dissection of the cat, study of human anatomy, microscopic anatomy of both the cat and human, and quantitative studies of the physiological processes taking place in the human body. Available for biology option credit only for secondary education students and students with post-graduate education goals that requires these courses. Not recommended for students who plan to attend medical school.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher); CHE 202 An introduction to the fundamental concepts in microbiology and the relationship of microorganisms to disease, and the balance of nature. Laboratory emphasis is on the physiology of bacteria, preparation and use of selective and differential media, and related methodologies.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) Integrates the fundamentals of plant growth, reproduction, metabolism, and disease with the utilization of plants by people by focusing on agriculture, medicinal plants, and plant conservation biology. Addresses history and methods of agriculture with attention to modern plant breeding, genetic engineering, and comparison of chemically intensive and organic cropgrowing techniques. Also considered are the central role of plant secondary metabolites in traditional healing and modern drug development. Explores different approaches to the conservation of useful plant biodiversity. Laboratory component includes experimental group projects in the laboratory and greenhouse, preparation of an herbarium collection of useful plant specimens collected and identified from the field, and selected trips to see plant sciences in action. *Field trips may be required at the student's expense.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) This course explores the form and function of vertebrate anatomy, physiology and behavior, which is specifically discussed in light of the ecology and evolution of this diverse group of organisms. A strong emphasis is placed on general principles of ecology and evolution, such as how different taxa impact their respective ecological communities, the key innovations that promoted various adaptive radiations, and how recent studies of vertebrate developmental genetics are expanding our broader understanding of phenotypic evolution. The material is presented via lectures, laboratory activities and discussions of primary literature. *Field trips may be required at the student's expense.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) The integration of form and function in angiosperms and gymnosperms emphasizing evolutionary patterns of development in vegetative and reproductive organs. Topics include plant anatomy and physiology, growth and development, plant classification, and plant ecology. Laboratory includes macro- and microanatomy, physiological experiments, outdoor studies, and field trips to plant habitats and gardens. *Field trips may be required at the student's expense.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) A detailed consideration of the functional morphology and evolution of the animal phyla from the protozoa through the echinoderms. Adaptive radiation within the major groups is discussed and the interrelationships of the various phyla are analyzed. The laboratory experience encourages individual investigations of representative animals.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 221 Ecology In this course students will investigate the behavior, ecology, evolution, morphology, and physiology of birds. While some course goals, such as being able to identify a variety of bird species, are rooted solidly in the field of avian biology, other course goals, such as being able to apply broader concepts in organismal biology, are common to a wide variety of organisms. Field-based and literature-based research are major components of the coursework. *Field trips may be required at the student's expense.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) An introduction to the structure, physiology, ecology, genetics, classification, and economic importance of representative taxa of fungi. Laboratory topics parallel those of lecture but also include the initiation and maintenance of axenic fungal cultures. *Field trips may be required at the student's expense.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher) Introduction to the use of statistical methods in the biological sciences. Emphasis is placed upon the application and interpretation of statistical analyses as an aid to drawing meaningful conclusions from field and laboratory investigations. Topics include: sampling methods, descriptive statistics, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, correlation, regression, frequency analysis, and the design of experiments.
