3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics techniques using computer statistical software. Topics such as hypothesis testing and interpretation of data from health behavior and epidemiologic research will be provided. The course will also review the methods used in epidemiologic research, including the calculation of rates, sampling theory, and types of studies. Three credit hours. Prerequisites: BIO 161 or BIO 171; and MAT 114. Offered Spring semester .
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the fundamental principles of toxicology. Topics include the history and scope of toxicology, the mechanisms of toxicity, and risk assessment. Depending upon the specialized areas of interest of the instructor, students are also introduced to broader subjects in the discipline such as environmental toxicology, clinical toxicology, and forensic toxicology. Three credit hours. Prerequisites: BIO 161 or 171 and any college-level chemistry course. Offered as needed.
-
3.00 Credits
The course is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge of the current principles of immunology. Both humoral and cellular immune responses will be examined in terms of the cells involved and the method in which the cells recognize and react to foreign antigens. Several disease states that are controlled by host immunity will also be included. Three credit hours. Prerequisites: BIO 200 and any college-level chemistry course. Offered as needed.
-
4.00 Credits
The study of the relationships of organisms to their environment. Topics include the ecology of individual organisms as well as population, community, and ecosystem ecology. Application of ecological principles to issues of environmental concern such as pollution, conservation, and land use will be considered. Additional student time outside of scheduled class and laboratory hours may be required for assignments and/or travel to and from off-campus activities. Four credit hours. Prerequisite: Any college-level biology course. Offered Fall semester. Note: Registration for both the lecture (BIO 320) and the lab (BIO 320 L) is required.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental concepts of transmission, molecular and population genetics. Mendelian principles and their applications are explored; the chemical and physical structure of chromosomes, genetic linkage and mapping are included. Expression of genetic material, chromosomal organization, mutations and mechanisms of recombination are discussed. Three credit hours. Prerequisites: BIO 220. Offered Spring semester.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the natural behavior of animals, providing a broad examination of genetic, neural, developmental, ecological, social and evolutionary aspects of behavior. Specific discussion will focus on sexual and parental behavior, migration, communication and aggression and learning. Summarization will address behavior problems, methods of intervention and solutions pertaining to companion and farm animals. An outside field trip is required. Comparative studies will be used for helping to understand human behavior. Three credit hours. Prerequisite: Any college-level biology course. Offered as needed.
-
3.00 Credits
An investigation into comparative vertebrate physiology of the nervous, muscular, hematologic, cardiovascular, respiratory and excretory systems as they relate to environmental adaptation, health and disease states. Analysis of organ system physiology in whole animal survival is emphasized. Three credit hours. Prerequisite: BIO 171 or equivalent. Offered Fall semester.
-
3.00 Credits
An investigation into comparative vertebrate physiology of the digestive, reproductive and endocrine systems as they relate to environmental adaptation, health and disease states. Thermoregulatory mechanisms are explored. Analysis of organ system physiology in whole animal survival is emphasized. Three credit hours. Prerequisite: BIO 171 or equivalent. Offered Spring semester.
