All arrangements must be completed in the semester prior to registration.
  • 15.00 Credits

    Individual studies in biology. Students design and conduct a reading project or research project in an area of biology. The research project must include library, laboratory and/or field research, and a written report in the format of a scientific publication. The project is done under the guidance of one faculty member and may be conducted for more than one term. Arrangements with the faculty supervisor are required prior to registration. Grade is IP until project is finished. (P: 15 credit hours in biology) (WIC)
  • 3.00 Credits

    Cooperative Education
  • 2.00 Credits

    Integration of key ideas of biological science and processes of life into a philosophy of biology. Emphasis on constructive criticism of scientific arguments. Presentation of formal papers and talks. Participation in discussion. Two hours of seminar class. Offered each fall term. (P: senior biology major or 24 hours of biology and permission of instructor) (WIC)
  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    Intensive readings in a specialized aspect of biology under the supervision of a biology faculty member. Available only when faculty load permits. Arrangements must be completed at least one term before the course begins. Formal report is required. Weekly meetings with instructor. A minimum of 40 hours of study per credit hour is required. (P: 20 hours of biology)
  • 15.00 Credits

    Individual studies in biology for students who have achieved a 3.25 GPA in their biology courses. The opportunities are the same as those for Biology 582. Students design and conduct a reading project or a research project in an area of biology. The research project must include library, laboratory and/or field research, and a written report in the format of a scientific publication. The project is done under the guidance of one faculty member and may be conducted for more than one term. Arrangements with the faculty supervisor are required prior to registration. Grade is IP until project is finished. (P: 15 credit hours in biology) (WIC)
  • 4.00 Credits

    A course intended for the non-major who has little or no chemistry background. Included are semi-technical discussions of plastics, drugs, food additives, detergents, energy sources, air and water pollution, and related chemical phenomena. Three 55-minute discussions and three hours of laboratory each week. (P: Permission of the instructor required for students who have credit for CHEM 140 or higher)
  • 4.00 Credits

    The first of a two-semester sequence which introduces the student to the principles of chemistry. Topics covered include stoichiometric calculations, introductory atomic theory, chemical bonding and molecular structure, oxidation-reduction, acids and bases, and the descriptive chemistry of selected main group elements. The laboratory emphasizes the development of manipulative skills. Three 55-minute lectures and three hours of laboratory each week. (Corequisite: MATH 141 or satisfactory performance on math placement examination.)
