Work experience program extending the learning experience beyond the college into the world of work, through internships, field work, and cooperative programs. Students may or may not be paid depending on the site. May be repeated. Variable credit.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides insight into the organization of living systems at the molecular, cellular, organismal and population levels. Emphasized are the structural and functional characteristics common to most organisms, organismal diversity, biological evolution, and interactions between organisms and their environment. The laboratory is designed to introduce the process of science and the characteristics of scientific knowledge. Students learn to formulate questions and hypotheses, design simple experiments, interpret results, draw conclusions and present their work in scientific formats. For non-science majors. Tier 1 course, no prerequisite. Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This combined lecture/laboratory course is designed to introduce non-science students to the study of living organisms through direct observations in streams, pastures, lakes and forests. We will follow examples of ancient and modern field biologists as we develop background knowledge and skills in natural history, field collection methods and modern analysis of field data. Be prepared to work outside during each class, wearing old shoes, hip boots, or a life vest. For non-science majors. Tier 1 course, no prerequisite. Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This integrated lecture-laboratory course is focused on the ways in which our understanding of biological systems is applied for practical purposes. The lecture portion addresses the basic biology and theory behind topics such as genetic engineering of microbes, plants, and animals for agricultural, industrial, and medical purposes; cloning of genes, plants and animals; as well as DNA analysis in forensic science and medicine. Special consideration is given to the ethical issues raised by the application of these technologies. The laboratory component is designed to reinforce the scientific method while providing hands-on experience with DNA technologies and forensics analyses. For non-science majors. Tier 1 course, no prerequisite. Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Almost all of us use drugs, whether over-the-counter drugs, prescription drugs, or recreational drugs. Drugs impact our lives, as well as the lives of our family and friends. In this course, the pharmacology of drugs, including their mechanisms of action, side effects, and therapeutic uses will be discussed. The abuse potential of recreational drugs, tolerance and addiction, and the ethical issues surrounding modern drug discovery also will be discussed. The laboratory component is designed to reinforce lecture concepts. For non-science majors. Tier 2 course, any Tier 1 course serves as the prerequisite. Four credits.
-
2.00 Credits
A study of the structure, function and development of the human body. The laboratory consists of microscopic studies, gross dissections and demonstrations. For non-science majors. Tier 2 course, any Tier 1 course serves as a prerequisite. Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will include discussions, lectures, and laboratories to study the tiny creatures that surround us known as microorganisms, particularly bacteria and viruses. The course will study the two-sided relationship between microorganisms and man. Most people think of bacteria and viruses as harmful because they cause disease. On the other hand, these tiny entities have many positive roles in our society including advancing biotechnology, food and beverage production, and roles in the environment including degrading of materials and cycling of nutrients. These and other topics will be discussed. For non-science majors. Tier I course, no prerequisite. Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the study of animal behavior. The course will provide an overview of the mechanisms that animals use to sense and interact with the environment and with each other. There will be extensive examination of the various behaviors that animals have evolved as means for survival in a challenging world. The course will discuss how these behaviors give insight into human behavior and psychology. Additionally, there will be a component of the course that involves the discussion of the sociobiology debate and the ethical issues that accompany the study of animal behavior. For non-science majors. Tier 2 course and Tier 1 course serve as a prerequisite. Four credits.
