-
1.00 - 15.00 Credits
Project individually arranged by student and faculty sponsor. Requires completion of the Independent Study form and approval by the Faculty Sponsor, Academic Advisor, Department Chair and Academic Dean.
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, viroids, protozoa, and algae (with a focus on bacteria). The course will introduce fundamental aspects of microorganisms, including their structure, growth, metabolism, genetics, and diversity. The course will then build on these fundamentals to discuss applications of microbiology, including health, disease, food production, industry, ecology, and laboratory methods in microbiology. Lecture/laboratory. (Fall). Liberal arts. Prerequisite: BIO101 or CHE271.
-
3.00 Credits
Anatomy, morphology, genetics, physiology, development and evolution of fungi and flowering and nonflowering plants emphasizing the relationship of structure to function. Lecture. (Every Two Years). Liberal arts. Prerequisite: one course in biology.
-
3.00 Credits
Origin and evolution of major groups of organisms, and the genetic and environmental factors involved. Major topics include the origin of life, sources of genetic variation, mechanisms of selection, phylogeny and human evolution. (Spring). Liberal arts. Prerequisite: BIO102
-
3.00 Credits
Survey of the major groups of invertebrate and vertebrate animals, emphasizing their diverse structural and physiological adaptations and their interactions with humans. (Fall). Liberal arts. Prerequisite: BIO100 or BIO102.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Undergraduate project individually arranged by student and faculty sponsor. (Fall - Spring). Liberal arts.
-
1.00 - 15.00 Credits
Project individually arranged by student and faculty sponsor. Requires completion of the Independent Study form and approval by the Faculty Sponsor, Academic Advisor, Department Chair and Academic Dean.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of the interactions between organisms and their environments. Topics include the ecological principles of energy flow, biogeochemistry, global climate change, adaptation by individual organisms to their environment, properties of population, community structure and dynamics, ecosystem productivity and functions and review of ecological literature. Laboratory includes field illustrations of ecological habitats, experiences utilizing methods and techniques to conduct ecological measurements, and ecological data analysis. Lecture and laboratory. (Fall - Spring). Liberal arts. Prerequisite: BIO102.
-
4.00 Credits
An overview of the major concepts in genetics will be presented. Topics include: Mendelian genetics, gene interactions, linkage and chromosome mapping, mutations, population genetics and evolution, quantitative inheritance, molecular biology and bacterial genetics. Lecture/laboratory. (Fall). Liberal arts. Prerequisites: BIO101, CHE112.
-
4.00 Credits
An exploration of the diversity of plant life on Earth. All major higher plant groups are covered, but the primary focus is on the families of flowering plants. Students will learn to recognize the characteristics of the major families while learning about their distributions, natural history, evolutionary relationships, and ethnobotanical uses. Late-semester field trips will focus on local representatives of families covered in class. Liberal Arts. (Every other Spring Semester). Prerequisites: POI or junior standing, BIO205 and BIO208.
