-
1.00 Credits
Corequisite or prerequisite: BIOL 215. Three hours laboratory. The primary goal of the laboratory course is to provide a hands-on opportunity for students to apply the principles and concepts covered during lecture. Accordingly, physiological experiments, physical models, computer software, and Internet resources are used as part of inquiry-based, problem-solving pedagogies in which collaborative learning is emphasized.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: C- or better grade in BIOL 111 & 112, CHEM 103 & 105L. Three hours lecture and three hours lab. This course introduces the student to the connectivity between all cellular forms of life, with its primary focus being the kingdoms of fungi and protists and their evolution from and parallel to prokaryotic organisms (bacteria and archaea). Specific topics include systematics and evolution, endosymbiosis, evolution from single to multi-celled life, and molecular aspects of communication and cell structure. Students will integrate a cellular view into their understanding of biology. Laboratories focus on microscopy, histology, and basic culture, molecular and biochemical techniques for cells.
-
3.00 Credits
Three hours lecture. This course explores the fundamental structure and function of the human body, beginning at the cellular and molecular level of organization and progressing through integumentary, skeletal, nervous, and endocrine systems.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite or corequisite: BIOL 222. Three-hour laboratory to accompany BIOL 222.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 222. Three hours lecture. This course explores fundamental structure and function of muscular, cardiovascular, pulmonary, digestive, renal, and reproductive systems in human beings. Emphasis is placed on interrelatedness of organ systems and applications to allied health professions.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite or corequisite: BIOL 223. Three-hour laboratory to accompany BIOL 223.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L- 112/112L, ENVS 101/101L-102/102L or equivalent. This course examines extremely diverse ecosystems of the tropical forests which provide excellent opportunities to study several basic concepts of biological and environmental science. Students also study the unique fauna and flora of the tropical forest and learn how and why this ecosystem is threatened.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Consent of supervising instructor. This course provides the beginning student the opportunity to conduct lab, field, or library research under the supervision of a faculty member. Credit is dependent upon the scope of the work.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 205/205L, MATH 103 and 222. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course focuses on ecological constraints that plants experience by virtue of their predominantly sessile lifestyle. Populations dynamics, competition, plant-animal interactions, community structure, function, succession, and the influence of abiotic factors will be considered. Lab exercises emphasize problem-solving approaches to a series of field investigations.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L, or by consent of instructor (BIOL 210 recommended). Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. An introduction to insect structure, function, adaptation, and ecology, with an emphasis on insect interactions with their natural environments and with humans. Students will be trained in insect, sampling, curation, and identification during labs, lectures, and field trips. The utility of insects in assessing the health of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems (biomonitoring) will be a key component of the course.
