This course serves as an introduction to basic concepts in cell biology such as cell-cell interactions, cell association with extra-cellular matrix, transport, intra-cellular compartments, protein sorting, cell signaling and the cytoskeleton. Equally emphasized is the molecular basis of gene regulation and its role directing normal and abnormal (i.e. cancer) cell processes. Laboratory experiments will reinforce the lecture. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Lab Fee. Prerequisites: BIO 263 and co-requisite (or prerequisite) CHE 112. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Lab fee. Offered spring. 4credits.

This is a field ecology course being offered in collaboration with Ecology Project International. Part of the course will take place in Costa Rica where students will collaborate with sea turtle biologists and local Costa Rican communities to monitor a population of critically endangered leatherback sea turtles on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Data collected during the course will be utilized by scientists to improve conservation efforts for leatherback sea turtles. Under the leadership of local experts every student will conceive, develop, analyze, and present a field-based research project. Students also will attend biology, tropical ecology, art, and journaling classes. Limited to non-science majors. Prerequisite: Completion of quantitative literacy requirement. One and one-half hours lecture, 8+day study abroad experience. Offered as needed. 4 credits

Ecologists have long used the small watershed as a unit of analysis of terrestrial ecosystems. This course aims to give students the skills and background they need to understand the physical, chemical, and biological components of their local watershed, and the interactions among those components, as well as a variety of human impacts on the watershed. This course will be open to both science majors and non-majors and will integrate both field and laboratory components. Topics to be covered will include hydrology, soil science, nutrient transformations, pollutant transport, decomposition, macroinvertbrate population dynamics, and sustainability science. Satisfies part of the Science Literacy requirement. Three hours integrated lecture/lab. Lab fee. Offered as needed. 3 Credits.

This course examines the structure and function of the human body with a goal of appreciating how coordination of all the systems work to maintain homeostasis. The first course will focus on cell physiology, tissue structure and function, the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. The laboratory will employ microscopy, animal dissection and computer-based labs to emphasize principles introduced in lecture. Open to science and exercise science and health promotion majors only. Prerequisite: BIO 101, earning a 'C-' or higher. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. Lab fee. Students may not receive credit for BIO 230-231 and BIO 177 or 301. Offered fall. 4 credits
