1.00 - 3.00 Credits
One-Two-Three Credits LA ?pecial topics" courses serve as a vehicle by which a school may offer a topical or thematic study not included in the regular course offerings. The specific content is indicated when the course is listed in the schedule of classes. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor
-
4.00 Credits
Four Credits LA An introduction to the most diverse organisms, animals lacking backbones, i.e., spineless creatures! Groups studied include sponges, mollusks, crustaceans, worms, starfish & kin, and arachnids, plus special emphasis on insects (the most diverse of all). Lectures emphasize morphology, including its progressive specialization, distinctive physiological, reproductive, and behavioral features, and ecology, especially in regard to feeding. Lab includes dissections, observations of preserved and living specimens, insect-collecting field trips, preparation of an insect collection, and term-long study of a species of each student's interest .Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 130-131
-
4.00 Credits
Four Credits LA A study of the biology of parasites of man and other vertebrates. Discussion will include types of parasites, life cycles, pathology caused by parasitism, cure and treatment, and the social and economic impact of parasitism. Laboratory work will study the parasite from slide preparations. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 130-131 and CHEM 131-132 or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
Four Credits LA A study of the principles of growth and development in vertebrates. Emphasis in laboratory is placed on amphibian and chick development. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 130-131 and CHEM 131-132 or equivalent
-
4.00 Credits
Four Credits LA An advanced study of the dynamic processes of growth, metabolism, and reproduction in living plants. Topics will include enzyme kinetics; gene expression and protein turnover; water relations; nutrition; physiological and ecological considerations of photosynthesis; stress physiology; secondary defense metabolites; response of herbivores to toxic secondary compounds; physiology and biochemistry of hormones; development and biochemistry and physiology of phytochrome. Lecture topics are supplemented with weekly laboratory experiments, giving students an in-depth understanding of concepts and hands-on experience in modern laboratory techniques. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 130-131 and CHEM 131-132, or permission of instructor
-
4.00 Credits
Four Credits LA Basic principles of general animal physiology emphasizing integration of organ system functions to maintain the individual under varying conditions. Control by the nervous and hormonal systems connect all topics which will emphasize the human organism. Topics with special emphasis will include: physiology of excitable cells, muscle physiology, circulation, respiration, fluid and ion balance, and nutrient processing. The laboratory will emphasize experimentation, data analysis, and professional writing. Offered every fall. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 130-131 and CHEM 131-132 or permission of instructor
-
4.00 Credits
Four Credits LA An intensive laboratory course covering both basic and advanced techniques in biotechnology. Subcloning, gel electrophoresis, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) will be emphasized. Other techniques will be covered, such as sequencing, DNA and protein blotting, protein isolation, and bioinformatics. Students will apply their skill to a group project. Students will also learn how to find employment or graduate programs in molecular biology. The hands-on advanced nature of this course demands a substantial time commitment outside of normal lecture/lab hours. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 130-131, CHEM 211-213 and CHEM 215-216 or permission of instructor
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
One-Three Credits LA These courses offer the student the opportunity to conduct research in biology under the direction of a faculty member. At the end of her/his work, the student presents a written report and public seminar. Prerequisites: Junior standing and permission of the Biology Chairperson
-
4.00 Credits
Four Credits LA This course is designed to introduce students to the behavior of molecules in cellular systems as well as diversity in gene expression via the processes of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis. Students will participate in an intense weekly analysis of research papers from the current molecular literature. Three-hour lecture, three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 320, and either CHEM 201-202 OR CHEM 212 and 216 BUS 100
-
3.00 Credits
Three Credits This course introduces the student to the global business environment, with particular attention given to the advantages and disadvantages of the corporate form of organization. A major emphasis will be on social, political, and cultural forces influencing global business decisions and operations; ethical challenges in the global marketplace; and other current issues such as diversity, technology, and concern for the physical environment. Offered every semester.
