3.00 Credits
An introduction to environmental problems designed for students with no science background. This course presents an overview of current environmental issues with an emphasis on understanding the cause-effect relationships inherent in many of the environmental challenges we face today. Emphasis is placed on use of case studies, class discussions, laboratory investigations, and student presentations to study and analyze the issues. This course is engaging, but a serious course that requires considerable critical reading, an innate interest in the subject, and self-discipline to attend all the lectures and laboratories to do well. Business students are encouraged to learn concepts that can be applied to many current environmental fields. 2 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory. Students enrolling in BIOL113 cannot enroll in BIOL112.

3.00 Credits
Designed for students in business and those interested in the modern-day applications and controversies of biotechnology. This course will identify and explain the multi-step process of recombinant DNA technology and expression of a protein product and develop a business plan for its marketing. This course will also investigate biotech stocks and the use of bio-organisms as producers of energy. (Fulfills a core requirement) 2 hours of lecture, 2 hours of laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the basic principles of microbiology for students interested in the allied health professions, nutrition and food service management fields. This course is designed to provide a solid working knowledge of microorganisms and their relation to food, sanitation, health, and industry. 2 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory
-
3.00 Credits
A study of basic human genetics with a primary focus on gene transmission from generation to generation.
