-
3.00 Credits
This course for non-science-major students investigates normal patterns of inheritance and their biologic basis as well as how genetic abnormalities result in inborn genetic disorders. THe course will additionally emphasize the important social, political, legal and ethical issues raised by genetic technology. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in alternate fall semesters.

3.00 Credits
Topics include theories of aging, discussion of organ systems of the body from the standpoint of the normal functions and specific age-related changes and disorders, as well as needs of the older adult. 3 lecture hours per week. Not accepted as credit towards the biology major.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated lecture and laboratory course utilizing case studies to introduce students in the health sciences to the world of microorganisms and issues they may face involving microbes in the field of health care. Topics will include the structure and function of microorganisms, their growth and control as well as their role in infection and human resistance and immunity. Basic handling and identification of microorganisms will be discussed in the laboratory component. For non-biology majors only. 3 lecture hours per week and 5 laboratory sessions/recitations per semester. Offered in the fall semester.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction to life science designed as a molecular investigation into living things, beginning with the cell. Cellular chemistry, structures, and functions will be addressed. Physiological processes such as respiration and photosynthesis are discussed, as are the molecular aspects of cell division, genetics, and gene expression. The course continues with an introduction into how genetics influences development, evolution, phylogeny and speciation. 3 lecture hours per week. Prerequisite: A ""C"" or better in high school chemistry or equivalent. Corequisite: BIO 203L. Offered in the fall semester.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction into organismal biology beginning with basic systematics and species classification with an investigation into the biodiversity of the animal and plant kingdoms. The structure, function and development of animal systems will be discussed, as will plant growth, response and reproduction. The course culminates with an examination of ecology and animal behavior. 3 lecture hours per week. Offered in the spring semester. Corequisite: BIO 204L Prerequisites: BIO 203/203L with a grade of C or better
-
1.00 - 2.00 Credits
A study of the basic hierarchal structure of ecological patterns from the individual organism to the globe. Determination of basic ecology patterns and causes of those patterns will be discussed in terms of abiotic and biotic factors with the underlying evolutionary causes. This class is writing intensive with at least five writing assignments and essay exams. Two lecture hours per week. Corequisite: BIO 230L Pre-requisites: BIO203/203L, BIO204/204L or permissions of instructor.
