-
1.00 Credits
This course introduces the life sciences as both a creative activity and as a profession. Students will develop proficiency in literature searching, experimental design, data management, research ethics, statistical inference, the proper care and uses of organisms, and conventions and strategies for effective scientific writing. Career options in biology will also be explored. One hour lecture. (Prerequisite: Biol. 130 and 140.) Every fall and spring as required.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the plant kingdom with emphasis on phylogeny, development, physiology, and reproduction. Plant ecology and systematics will be included. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. (Prerequisite: Biol. 130 or permission of the instructor.) Every fall.
-
2.00 Credits
The purpose of this course is to prepare students to take the field studies portion of the class taught in the Bahamas. Students will learn about the various organisms, both plant and animal, that live in the ocean with a major emphasis on the ecology of coral reefs and other tropical ecosystems. This course will include a brief study of oceanography and current environmental issues. Non-science majors are encouraged to take this course. (Prerequisite: one semester of college-level science.) As required.
-
2.00 Credits
This is a descriptive, field-oriented course involving direct observation (by way of ocean snorkeling and land hiking) of the plants, animals, and geologic features on and around a tropical island. Students will study the diversity of life found in various tropical habitats, including, coral reefs, tidal pools, sea grass beds, mangrove swamps, rocky shores, sandy beaches, and terrestrial areas. The cultural and historical uniqueness of the local inhabitants will also be discussed. Students will stay at the Gerace Research Center at the College of the Bahamas on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. Non-science majors are encouraged to take this course. (Prerequisite: Biol. 225 and consent of the instructor.) As required.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Lecture-based studies of plants and animals in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. (Prerequisite: consent of the instructor.) As required.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Field-based studies and experiments conducted at a variety of aquatic and terrestrial habitats. (Prerequisite: consent of the instructor.) As required.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a comprehensive study of the structure and organization of the cell emphasizing the chemical composition of cellular structures, the relationship between molecular structure and function, cellular metabolism and bioenergetics. The dynamic interaction between cellular organelles and their function with particular emphasis on the mechanisms involved in regulating these activities will be studied. Focus on cell cycle regulation and cell signaling will be included. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. (Prerequisites: Biol. 130 with Chem. 103, or Biol 109 with Chem. 205.) Every fall and spring.
-
4.00 Credits
Analysis of the laws of inheritance, including Mendelism, linkage, and cytoplasmic heredity at both the molecular and cellular levels. Genetics, cytology, and reproduction of cell organelles will be included. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. (Prerequisite: Biol. 130 or permission of instructor.) Every spring.
-
4.00 Credits
The biological principles of disease from a molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ-system level. A homeostatic approach will be followed, stressing the dynamic interdependence of physiologic processes involved in human pathology. Three hours lecture, one hour recitation period. (Prerequisites: Biol. 108,109, and 202, or similar background in anatomy, physiology, and microbiology.) As required.
-
4.00 Credits
The functional, ecological, and evolutionary relationships between bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa with emphasis on microbial physiology, genetics, pathogenesis, and immunology. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory. (Prerequisite: Biol. 231.) Every fall.
