4.00 Credits
Prerequisites/corequisites: BIO 211, 221, 231; other prerequisites as determined by the department, dependent upon the topic. Selected topics which may vary from year to year.
-
4.00 Credits
(same as CSC 471) Prerequisites: BIO 185 (grade of C- or higher); prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 211, BIO 221, BIO 231. (Note: For students who enroll in CSC 471 only BIO 185 and CSC 230 or 250 are prerequisites.) This course will cover theoretical and practical components of genomics and bioinformatics. The major topics will include mapping and sequencing genomes, sequence alignment of nucleic acids and proteins, haplotype maps, analysis of complex traits, parallel profiling of gene expression, proteomics, phylogenetic analysis, and data mining. The laboratory will begin with the in silico analysis of gene families, continue to the formulation of a testable hypothesis about gene function, writing a mini-grant for peer review, testing of the hypothesis in a model organism, and conclude with a formal presentation of the data generated during the semester. This course is best suited for undergraduates who wish to continue with a career in basic science or biomedical research.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 211; prerequisite/corequisite: BIO 221, BIO 231. A detailed examination of nervous system function at the cellular, molecular, system and organismal level, including neuronal signaling and synaptic transmission, sensory and motor systems, sensorimotor integration, synaptic plasticity in learning and memory and mechanisms of neural development. Emphasis will be placed on how elements of the nervous system interact to produce or modify behavior. In the laboratory component of this course, students will work in small research teams to conduct open-ended multi-week research projects of their own design, using the crayfish tail as a model neural system.
-
8.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Meeting all criteria for admission to student teaching Student teaching during the senior year. Teaching is conducted in approved public schools, and supervised and observed by college and public school teachers. Students learn through observation and participation in the classroom, and through supervised teaching.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites/corequisites: BIO 211, 221, 231; minimum overall GPA of 2.5 overall Pursuit of an original research project under the direction of a supervising professor. Results and conclusions serve as the basis of an oral or poster presentation to faculty and students as well as a written paper submitted to the faculty mentor and archived by the Department of Biology. May be taken for credit more than once. Only one course unit of research courses (BIO 393, 394, 399, 493, 494) can count as a biology option course.
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Prerequisites/corequisites: BIO 211, 221, 231; minimum overall GPA of 2.5 Only for students in college-wide honors program or pursuing honors in biology. Pursuit of an original research project under the direction of a supervising professor. Results and conclusions serve as the basis of an oral or poster presentation to faculty and students as well as a written paper submitted to the faculty mentor and archived by the Department of Biology. May be taken for credit more than once. Only one course unit of research courses (BIO 393, 394, 399, 493, 494) can count as a biology option course.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Completion of at least one course unit of BIO 493/494 under the same instructor and a minimum overall GPA of 2.5 May substitute for BIO 498 Biological Seminar as the capstone course, but not as a biology option course. Pursuit of an original research project under the direction of a supervising professor. Results and conclusions serve as the basis of an oral or poster presentation to faculty and students as well as a written paper that has gone through multiple drafts and submitted to the faculty mentor and archived by the Department of Biology. Students should enroll in this course during their final semester of independent research.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 211, 221, and 231 This is the biology capstone course. Students deliver and develop oral presentations and write a comprehensive and current literature review on a research topic oriented around a unifying theme in biology or within a broad area of biological research. Topics vary each semester and with different instructors. May be taken for credit more than once. Courses offered in the summer at the Marine Sciences Consortium in Sandy Hook, NJ
-
0.00 Credits
(8 weeks) Required for all freshmen biology majors. This course provides an orientation to higher education, to The College of New Jersey community, and to the major programs offered by the biology department.
