-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the structural aspects of tissues and organs with emphasis on mammalian systems. Substantial time is spent on examining the arrangement and interactions of cells in tissues and organs. The laboratory portion of the course includes microscopic examination of tissue and organ sections as well as the methods of making sections for microscopic study.
-
4.00 Credits
This is a writing intensive course that emphasizes the importance of plants in the ecosystem and takes an in-depth look at plant morphology, physiology and development. It also covers the evolution of plants with a focus on vascular plants. In lab, the plant body and physiological processes are explored, with an emphasis on the integration of structure and function. Field trips will be conducted to survey the local flora.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the major invertebrate phyla with respect to phylogenetic relationships, evolutionary history, anatomy, physiology, and ecology. The laboratory portion of the course includes field work, microscopic examination, dissection, and selected physiological and ecological experiments.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the preservation of biotic diversity. Topics covered include ecosystem structure and function, the extent of biotic diversity, the natural history of diversity on this planet, past and current extinctions, human impact on diversity, and methods to preserve diversity.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed for both majors and non-science majors. It introduces the student to basic concepts of ecosystem and community structure, energy transformations, nutrient cycles, population dynamics, animal behavior, and pollution. Current topics of ecological importance are covered.
-
3.00 Credits
Principles of Medical Pharmacology will cover the concepts of pharmacological sciences as they relate to biochemistry, cell biology, and drug therapy. In general, Pharmacology is the study of how drugs act in biological systems to affect their function. It is the study of how the body reacts to drugs. This field is usually referred to as the marriage between chemistry and biology. At the end of this course, you should be familiar with the principles behind drug action and development, dose-response relationships, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will educate students on various genetic and molecular changes normal cells undergo during transformation into malignant cancer cells. These modifications include unregulated cell proliferation, evasion of cell death, and metastasis. This course will describe factors that contribute to cancer development and discuss cancer prevention and currently available therapeutic treatments.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
See Requirements for Graduation in Academic Regulations. University Seminar II courses are designed to serve as a capstone experience. Students must take a University Seminar II in a department other than the department of their major. The courses are not intended to provide complete coverage of the topics reflected in the titles of the courses.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the importance and applications of microbiology in food production, industry, environment, and human, veterinary and plant health. The mechanisms of pathogenicity of harmful organisms as well as methods of control will be explored. Students will be introduced to methods of cultivating microbes including nutritional and environmental needs of some common microbes. Identification of common microbes by macroscopy, microscopy, morphology, biochemical reactions and serology will also be explored.
-
4.00 Credits
This course considers pathogenic organisms, immune mechanisms, the pathogenic state, and serology. Laboratory exercises include the cultivation, isolation, and physiology of a representative number of forms, and immunological and serological exercises.
