Concepts of Biology is a collection of courses that vary in topic but are similarly designed to introduce students to the scientific way of knowing. They are designed for students who do not intend to pursue a career in the biological sciences or related field. The courses are not usually open to students who have completed BIO 150 Principles of Biology I: Organisms & Populations, BIO 151 Principles of Biology II: Cells & Organisms, or BIO 152 Principles of Biology III: Molecules & Cells.

This course covers topics in human structure and function, human genetics, and human ecology. A scientific and bioethical approach is used to study issues related to society as a whole as well as to an individual. The overall goal of the course is to help students become more scientifically literate so that they can make informed decisions. Meets general academic requirement S.

4.00 Credits
This course covers topics related to the science of movement. The structure and function of the skeletal and muscular systems are all studied in detail. The nervous system, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems will also be studied. In addition, students will explore exercise physiology. This course is especially designed for dance majors and others who have a particular interest in the biology of movement. Meets general academic requirement S.
-
4.00 Credits
A general overview of the study of avian natural history. Special attention is given to field techniques to identify, describe, and record the biology of birds in their natural habitat. Four class hours per week and field trips. Meets general academic requirement S.
-
4.00 Credits
A course designed to facilitate learning of biological concepts through laboratory experiences. Critical scientific thinking and science process will be emphasized. Meets general academic requirement S.
-
4.00 Credits
So much of the news concerns biotechnology: cloning, gene therapy, cancer treatments, assisted reproductive technologies, genetically modified foods, the human genome project, bioterrorism. Perhaps the biology you took in high school never talked about such things. Using newspaper articles, an excellent genetic textbook for nonscience majors, and Internet resources, this course is designed to allow the student to explore "the new biology". Most of the students who have taken thiscourse find immediate applications of the course knowledge to their own lives. Perhaps you will too. Meets general academic requirement S.
-
4.00 Credits
Infectious disease has and continues to have a profound influence on humans and the environment in which they live. Bubonic plague, smallpox, syphilis, malaria, and AIDS, as well as other emerging viruses, will be studied as specific examples of infectious disease. The biology of the microbes involved, their epidemiology, resulting pathology, and control will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the historical, political, and social consequences of infectious disease. Offered as a course designed for Muhlenberg Scholars. Meets general academic requirement S.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the diversity of life and its evolution, extinction, and conservation. Readings, lectures, and discussions will cover such issues as ethics of conservation, multipleuse forestry practices, and ecological restoration. This course is intended for students who are not interested in pursuing careers in the Biological Sciences and related disciplines but who have a strong interest in conservation and the natural world. Three class hours plus three laboratory hours per week, including some field trips. Meets general academic requirement S.
-
4.00 Credits
As a basis for understanding marine organisms and their lifestyle, this course will study the geological origins of oceans and plate tectonics, the nature of seawater, ocean bottom sediments, and the atmosphere and its relationship with the oceans, waves, tides, and currents. Studies will include marine ecosystems, open ocean plankton and nekton, and organisms of the ocean bottom. The effects of human activities on ocean life will also be discussed. Course can be used to satisfy the earth science requirement for secondary education. Meets general academic requirement S.
