4.00 Credits
An introduction to the complex interaction of cellular signals and events that constitute the human immune response. Humoral and cellular mechanisms of immunity, histocompatibility, hypersensitivities, cytokine signaling, and the complement system will be examined in some detail. The laboratory will introduce the elemental methods of immunology and the immunological diagnosis of diseases. Prerequisites: BIOL 204, 205 (pre-2011: BIOL 105, 106, 331); CHEM 111, 112, 303. BIOL 303 is recommended.(4)

4.00 Credits
The focus of this course is molecular and cellular neurobiology, including neuronal differentiation, cell structure, function, and connectivity. We will focus on how neurons are made, communicate, and are connected into circuits. Model systems used to study neuroscience will be introduced and we will use primary literature throughout. The laboratory will include research projects that are designed and carried out by the students. Prerequisites: BIOL 204, 205 (pre-2011: BIOL 105, 106, 331); CHEM 111, 112, 303.(4)

4.00 Credits
A discussion of the basic principals of plant and animal ecology and the processes that maintain the structure and function of ecosystems. The course examines connections between ecology and some pressing environmental problems, and includes ecological phenomena that require background understanding of chemical and physical processes. Class and lab projects involve reading of primary literature, experimental design, data analysis, and independent research. This is a senior level course that builds on other course information and skills. Prerequisites: BIOL 202, 203 (pre-2011: BIOL 105, 106); CHEM 112; MATH 240.

4.00 Credits
Nearly every structure and process in healthy cells is affected in cancer cells. This course is an exploration of cell structure and function with a molecular focus, including in-depth discussions of cell polarity, migration, division, and death, and how these processes are affected in cancer. We will read and present the primary literature throughout the class. The laboratory emphasizes current techniques in cellular biology and includes research projects that are designed and carried out by the students. Offered even Spring semesters.
-
2.00 Credits
This seminar style course examines current research at the intersection of psychology and neurobiology. A variety of topics (e.g., learning and memory, addiction) are explored across multiple levels of analysis, including molecular genetics, neurobiology, animal behavior, and human neuroimaging. Students are expected to propose novel research incorporating interdisciplinary methodology. Prerequisites: BIOL 204 (pre-2011: BIOL 105); PSYC 205, 390, or instructor permission. (2)
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed as a senior level capstone in the Biology curriculum. Students will develop a sense of significance of communication of data in fields of science. They will learn how to use the current databases, journals, and Internet to access scientific literature. They will also build a proficiency in writing and communication skills with regards to sharing scientific information. (2)
-
1.00 Credits
Students undertake a portion of a research project and learn all aspects of scientific inquiry. One credit hour equates to three hours per week in the laboratory. This course may be taken one credit at a time. Permission of a faculty member is required.
-
1.00 Credits
Offers students the opportunity to integrate classroom knowledge with practical experience. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing (for transfer students, at least 15 hours completed at Westminster), minimum 2.5 GPA, and consent of program director and Career Center internship coordinator. A maximum of 4 hours of BIOL 440 may be applied toward the major or minor. REGISTRATION NOTE: Registration for internships is initiated through the Career Center website and is finalized upon completion of required paperwork and approvals.
