4.00 Credits
A continuation of BIO 131 Human Biology I covering the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive and endocrine systems. Emphasis on physiology in lectures and on anatomy in laboratory, stressing those aspects which have greatest relevance to the student’s curriculum. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: BIO 131 Human Biology I or permission of chairperson.
-
3.00 Credits
Symptoms, syndrome and etiology of pathogenic processes affecting the function and structure of the body. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: BIO 132 Human Biology or permission of chairperson.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to a basic understanding of the biology of microorganisms, with a focus on bacteria. Course topics include biochemistry, cell structure and function, metabolism, microbial ecology, microbial genetics, applied microbiology, microbial control, epidemiology, pathogenesis and microbial disease. Laboratory exercises reinforce those principles discussed in lecture.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the basics of DNA allowing the student to understand today’s rapidly expanding field of biotechnology. Topics will include: the human genome project, genetic testing, gene therapy, DNA and crime, genetic engineering, agricultural and industrial applications of biotechnology. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: One semester of college biology or permission of instructor.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Special courses covering particular topics in the biological sciences beyond the scope of the normal course offerings. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: Permission of Department Chairperson and one semester of college biology.
-
4.00 Credits
A scientific yet sensitive look at one of the world’s rare and endangered wilderness areas. Everglades ecology is studied through an extensive wilderness camping experience in Everglades National Park, involving a minimum of 90 hours of classroom and field instruction. Offered during the January Intersession. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: One semester of college biology and permission of department chairperson. Corequisite: Laboratory and intersession field trip.
-
1.00 Credits
The course is designed specifically for students interested in pursuing careers in the biological sciences. Students will be asked to critically analyze both current and historical readings, experiments and controversial topics within the field. An emphasis will be placed on showing the special niche of the biological sciences within the context of both the physical and social sciences. A weekend field trip is required. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisites: BIO 117 Principles of Biology I and permission of Department Chairperson.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the fundamental principles involved in the self-organization of living systems, extending from molecules, to cells, tissues, organisms and social systems. Focus on developing an understanding of emergent properties, based on computational investigations of processes such as diffusion, protein folding and clustering. Analytical procedures for characterizing self-organizing systems. Needed by Engineering Science students transferring to BU in Bioengineering. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisites: MAT 181 Calculus and BIO 111 General Biology I or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to basic principles of ecology, including ecosystem ecology, evolutionary ecology, major terrestrial and aquatic biomes, population and community ecology. Labs have an emphasis on those ecosystems found in the N.E. U.S. Field studies will emphasize the use of the scientific method and approaches used by ecologists in the field. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisite: BIO 117 Principles of Biology I. Corequisite: BIO 212L Ecology Laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic concepts in immunology, including development of the immune system, innate immunity, immunoglobulin structure and genetics, antigen-antibody reactions, the major histocompatibility complex and antigen presentation, T cell receptors, T cell activation and effector functions, anergy and apoptosis, adhesion molecules, phagocytic cell function, immune responses to infections organisms and tumors, autoimmune diseases, allergies, immune deficiencies and AIDS. Prerequisite- Corequisite Prerequisites: BIO 131 Human Biology I and BIO 132 Human Biology II.
