  • BL 112: Understanding Biotechnology

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Vincent College

    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.

  • BL 116: Bacteria,Friends or Foes?

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Vincent College

    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.

  • BL 117: Animal Behavior

    3.00 Credits
    Saint Vincent College

    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.
