    This course focuses on current environmental issues, and examines both their scienti?c foundations and their human impacts. Students will study the science behind contemporary environmental problems through hands-on laboratory and/or ?eld research. They will then use this foundation of scienti?c knowledge in considering the political, economic, and ethical rami?cations of these environmental issues, and investigate potential solutions. Issues covered in this course could include global warming, air and water pollution, species extinction, land degradation, and resource depletion. Limited to non-science majors. Satis?es part of the Scienti?c Literacy requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of quantitative literacy requirement. Three hours integrated lecture/lab. Lab fee. Offered fall and spring. 3 credits
  • 3.00 Credits

    This non-majors course will review the basic applications of the biological, physical and chemical sciences to the study of forensics. Specific topics include chemical and instrumental analyses of physical evidence, principles of serology and blood analysis, DNA analysis, forensic anthropology, ballistics, drug analysis and toxicology. The course will be taught using an intergrated format that includes lecture, laboratory experimentation, and crime scene construction and analysis.Limited to non-science majors. Satis?es part of the Scienti?c Literacy requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of quantitative literacy requirement. Three hours intergrated lecture/lab. Lab fee. Offered as needed. 3 credits
  • 3.00 Credits

    This non-majors course provides an overview of human genetics, from constructing and interpreting human pedigrees, applying Mendel's laws, discussing the relationships of DNA, RNA, and proteins, analyzing the effects of mutations, evaluating phenomena that distort Mendelian ratios, designing gene therapies and applying new genomic approaches to understanding inherited disease and the genetics of cancer. Classroom discussions and assignments will focus on current issues in human genetics. Limited to non-science majors. Satis?es part of the Scienti?c Literacy requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of quantitative literacy requirement. Three hours integrated lecture/lab. Lab fee. Students may not receive credit for both BIO 173 and BIO 263. Offered as needed. 3 credits
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course for non-majors examines the application of biological principles to human issues by studying human physiology, from organ systems down to the cellular level. Topics could include the cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal systems. Emphasis is placed on current diseases and medical problems relating to these systems and to societal implications of various health-related issues. Limited to non-science majors. Satis?es part of the Scienti?c Literacy requirement. Prerequisite: Completion of quantitative literacy requirement. Three integrated lecture/lab hours. Lab fee. Students may not receive credit for both BIO 177 and BIO 230/231. Offered fall and spring. 3 credits
