4.00 Credits
This course is a survey of evolutionary thought from its beginnings as an explanation for diversity to its acceptance and application by biologists. Contemporary controversies will be discussed in their scientific and sociological contexts. (Three hours lecture, two hours lab per week). No prereq. Does not apply toward a major or minor in biology.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to biological and chemical principles as they apply to the human body. Lectures and laboratory work will cover cellular anatomy and physiology, tissues, and the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine. (Two hours lecture, two hours lab per week). Prereq: college chemistry strongly recommended or concurrent. F, Sp, Su
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of BIOL 121 consisting of lectures and laboratory work concerning the following systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, excretory, and reproductive. (Two hours lecture, two hours lab per week). Prereq: BIOL 121 required. F, Sp, Su
-
4.00 Credits
This lecture/laboratory course will cover biological concepts in the context of current issues in biology. Students will become more familiar with the scientific method as it applies to biology. Toipics to be covered include: science and ethics; evolution and biodiversity; ecology; genetics and cellular biology. The lab will reinforce concepts from lecture. The course will not apply toward a major or minor in biology. (Three hours lecture, two hours lab per week). Prereq: ENG 100 or placement in ENG 101, MATH 100 or Math placement in 111, and GENS 099 or GENS 151 or reading optional, not required. F, SP, SU.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory survey of the fundamental characteristics and processes of living organisms, including cell structure and function, energetics, genetics, development, evolution, and ecology. Laboratories include both didactic and investigative explorations of these processes. (Three hours lecture, three hours lab per week). Prereq: Placement into ENG 100 or higher English writing course, and C or better in Math 100 or placement into higher level college math course, and science major, or consent of instructor. F, Sp, Su
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of plant structure and function are explored in the context of plant diversity and evolution. Consideration is given to variation in plant morphological and physiological strategies for life in a different environment. A course for majors and minors in biology. (Two hours lecture, two hours lab per week). Prereq: BIOL 141. F, Sp
-
3.00 Credits

-
3.00 Credits
The course will address basic principles of wildlife ecology and their application in the management of wildlife populations. Topics include population growth, censusing, food habits, predation, harvesting, disease, exotic and endangered species, captive animal management, and conservation. Laboratories will include indoor and outdoor exercises in sampling, habitat evaluation, censusing, and wildlife observation. (Two hours lecture, two hours lab per week). F, alternate years.
-
3.00 Credits
Introductory survey of the nature and importance of the interactions between organisms and their abiotic and biotic environments. Topics include energy flow, population dynamics, species interactions, community structure and development, and the use of statistics in ecological studies. (Three hours lecture per week). Prereq: BIOL 151 and BIOL 152. F, Sp
