4.00 Credits
An introduction to biology, this course applies the scientific method of study to cell biology, genetics, and molecular biology. Lectures are integrated with laboratory exercises. Successful completion of this course satisfies the requirements for a major or minor in Biology, and is an option for the "Natural Sciences" component in General Education Requirements. Prerequisite: A minimum ACT mathematics subscore of 16 or an Accuplacer algebra score of 33-120 or Elementary Algebra. Note: Students must first complete or test out of the reading sequence before taking this course: All Semesters.
-
4.00 Credits
Provides an introductory study of animal and plant kingdoms. Course emphasizes structure and function, reproduction, and ecology of animals and plants. Lectures are integrated with laboratory exercises, which include animal and plant dissections. Successful completion of this course satisfies the requirements for a major or minor in Biology. Note: Students must first complete or test out of the reading sequence before taking this course. Course Rotation: All Semesters.

4.00 Credits
Deals with fundamental microbiological principles and techniques, including: structure, function, cultural characteristics, and evolutionary and ecological relationships among microorganisms with a human perspective The laboratory is a two-hour series that correlates with the lecture. Activities include aseptic techniques for use of microorganisms, cultural characteristics and biochemical reactions of microorganisms, classification and identification of unknown microorganisms. High school chemistry is recommended. Prerequisite: BIOL 1214 with a minimum grade of C or permission of the instructor. Course Rotation: Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of animal characteristics and review of animal diversity. Students learn Linnaean classification and use of dichotomous keys, anatomy through dissection, natural selection, and the diversity of Kentucky fauna by participating in The Great Kentucky Critter Hunt. This course employs traditional lecture and laboratory formats; it requires active student participation in developing a field collection. Recommended for science majors only. Prerequisite: BIOL 1204 and BIOL 1214 with a minimum grade of C or permission of the instructor. Course Rotation: Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of plant characteristics and review of plant diversity. Students learn Linnaean classification and use of dichotomous keys, comparative anatomy through dissection, and plant kingdom survey. Students will complete a taxonomic collection of specimens from a species list of representative Kentucky plants. Recommended for science majors only. Prerequisite: BIOL 1204 and BIOL 1214 with a minimum grade of C. Course Rotation: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces students to conservation biology, the science of preserving biodiversity. A major new discipline, conservation biology incorporates biological principles in the design of effective strategies for the sustainable management of populations, species, and ecosystems. In particular, it explores the fundamental problems of habitat loss and fragmentation, habitat disturbance, and the non-sustainable exploitation of species in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Prerequisites: BIOL 1204 and BIOL 1214 with a minimum grade of C or permission of the instructor. Course Rotation: Varies.
-
4.00 Credits
Physical processes of the environment and their interaction with human development, industrialization, and pollution. Labs with special emphasis on environmental ecology, resource management, and aquatic environments from a watershed perspective. Prerequisites: BIOL 1204 and BIOL 1214 with a minimum grade of C or permission of the instructor. Course Rotation: Varies.
-
4.00 Credits
Basic anatomy and physiology course with laboratory designed for students interested in health science careers. Emphasis is placed upon the concept of homeostasis and the relationship of structure and function. This course may be taken at the 3000-level upon approval from the Natural Sciences faculty. Course Rotation: Fall.
-
2.00 Credits
Introduces basic health care terminology. The use of prefixes, roots, and suffixes, along with the breakdown of words into separate definite components, is used to ascertain the meaning of words associated with healthcare careers. Self-paced learning for mastery of the material. Course Rotation: Fall.
-
3.00 Credits
An integration of biological, chemical, and physical aspects of the cell. Lectures emphasize molecular processes in the cell including organelle structure and function, membranes, cytoskeleton, respiration, trafficking, and signaling. Organic chemistry recommended. Prerequisites: BIOL 1204 and 1214 with a minimum grade of C and CHEM 1224 or permission of instructor. Course Rotation: Spring.
