3.00 Credits
Superlab is a research-oriented course in which students carry out laboratory and field-based investigations into research areas such as ecotoxicology, plant physiology, ecology, phylogenetics, molecular biology, and cancer biology. In this course, students have one hour of classroom instruction per week during the regular semester followed by ten days (over a period of two weeks) of intensive laboratory work after the end of the semester. During that second phase of the course, students design and implement experiments and carry out research discussed during the first phase with the aid of their instructors. Offered each year.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-225]], [[BIO-226]] or [[BIO-226]] as co-requisite.
-

Prerequisite:
Will vary according to the specific topics course.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a study of the major invertebrate phyla with respect to their taxonomy, evolution, morphology, physiology, and ecology. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered in alternate years. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-121]]- [[BIO-122]], [[BIO-225]] - [[BIO-226]], or permission of the instructor.

Comparative Physiology encompasses the study of organ functions and organ system functions in different animal groups. Emphasis is on the systemic physiology of vertebrate animals. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered every spring semester. Offered in alternate years. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-121]]- [[BIO-122]], [[BIO-225]]- [[BIO-226]], or permission of the instructor.

Parasitology is the study of organisms that live on or within other organisms and the relationship of these organisms to their hosts. This course deals with the common parasites that infect humans and other animals. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered in alternate years. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-121]]- [[BIO-122]], [[BIO-225]]- [[BIO-226]], or permission of the instructor.

4.00 Credits
This course deals with the evolution and anatomy of the organ systems of vertebrates. Lectures survey the comparative anatomy of the vertebrate classes. Laboratory dissections include the lamprey, shark, mud puppy, and cat in detail. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered in alternate years. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-121]]- [[BIO-122]], [[BIO-225]].

4.00 Credits
This course examines the function of mammalian systems with regard to homeostasis, metabolism, growth and reproduction. Normal physiological processes as well as some pathophysiological situations are covered. While the emphasis is on human physiology, other mammalian systems are discussed to demonstrate physiological adaptability to various environmental situations. Laboratory exercises include physiological experimentation in living systems and in computer simulations. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered in alternate years. This course satisfies the requirement for a course with an emphasis in quantitative biology. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-121]]- [[BIO-122]], [[BIO-226]], or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course emphasizes the microscopic examination of mammalian tissues from morphological and physiological perspectives. Reference is made to organ embryogenesis to support the understanding of organ form and function. Tissue preparation for histological examination is included. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered in alternate years. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-121]]- [[BIO-122]], [[BIO-225]]- [[BIO-226]], or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to modern concepts and techniques in molecular biology through a genuine research experience in using cell and molecular biology to learn about a fundamental problem in biology. Rather than following a set series of lectures, we study a problem and see where it leads us. We use the information given in lectures and reading assignments to solve research problems and, in the process, learn a lot of molecular biology. Offered every spring. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-225]]- [[BIO-226]], [[CHM-231]]- [[CHM-232]].
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the structure, biochemistry, and function of mammalian hormones and endocrine glands. Avian, amphibian, and invertebrate hormones are also discussed, where relevant. Clinical pathologies resulting from excess or insufficient hormones are discussed, as this is essential to mastering an understanding of Endocrinology. Laboratory exercises include experimentation in living systems and computer simulations. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. Offered in alternate years. Click here for course fee.
Prerequisite:
[[BIO-121]]- [[BIO-122]], [[BIO-225]]- [[BIO-226]], or permission of instructor.
