Four Credits LA An introduction to basic interrelationships of plant structure, function, growth, and reproduction. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 130-131 or permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Three Credits LA A course in biological evolution designed for students not majoring in the sciences. Science as a process and how science differs from religion will be examined. Topics include: Darwin, natural selection and other mechanisms that cause change, evolutionary medicine, how life began, and selected examples of animal evolution and adaptation. Three-hour lecture per week.

3.00 Credits
Three Credits LA Dual listed as HLTH 225 This course is designed for non-science majors to learn scientifically supported as well as traditional approaches to nourishing and healing the body which can be incorporated into personal, daily, good health practices. An emphasis is placed on multicultural, political, and ecological dimensions of dietary choices. The concept of food as medicine and the concept of diet as a critical component in healing are fundamental to this course. Included are the exploration of herbal medicine, environmental health, and healing choices. Students also will develop the skills and understanding to analyze, compare, and contrast dietary choices for personal health. Three-hour lecture per week. (Fulfills Core/LS Natural Science requirement.)
-
3.00 Credits
Three Credits LA This course is designed for the non-science major and will examine how natural selection influences the evolution of social behavior in animals (including humans). Topics will include: the physiological basis of behavior, the adaptive value of behavior, learning and instinct, mate selection, parental investment, altruism, infanticide, primate behavior, and human sociobiology.
