-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of BIOL 251. The remainder of the course will include but not be limited to the endocrine, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, urinary, and reproductive systems. These systems will be covered on a cellular, tissue, organ and system level. This course will include a 2 hour lab each week. The lab will include dissection of select organs as well as supplementing and enhancing the lecture material. Prerequisite: BIOL 251 or permission of the instructor. Offered every spring semester. Laboratory fee $50.
-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth study of human anatomy and physiologic processes. This course will include, but not be limited to the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. These systems will be covered on a cellular, tissue, organ, and system level. This course will also include a 3 hour lab each week. The lab will include dissection of select organs. The lab will supplement and enhance the lecture material. The lab will also include application of the material from lecture. Offered every fall semester. Prerequisite: BIOL 130. Laboratory fee $50.

4.00 Credits
A continuation of BIOL 301. The remainder of the course will include but not be limited to the endocrine, cardiopulmonary, gastrointestinal, urinary, and reproductive systems. These systems will be covered on a cellular, tissue, organ and system level. This course will include a 3 hour lab each week. The lab will include dissection of select organs as well as dissection of a cat. The lab will also supplement and enhance the lecture material. Prerequisite: BIOL 301 or permission of the instructor. Offered every spring semester. Laboratory fee $50.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the taxonomy, ecology, and life cycles of major animal parasites. A major part of the laboratory portion of this learning experience is a research project that may be used to satisfy the research component of the senior capstone experience. Students are expected to design and conduct a project involving parasites collected locally. Offered on demand. Prerequisites: NSCI 120, NSCI 190, BIOL 224. Laboratory fee $50.
-
4.00 Credits
A course intended for some majors in the health sciences. It provides an introduction to the microbes of clinical interest. Structure, function, and physiology of microbes and host interactions are stressed. These aspects form the basic foundation to introduce the principles of isolation, identification, infection, pathogenesis, and virulence of microbes. Emphasis will be given to antimicrobial chemotherapy and clinically important microorganisms associated with human tissues. The laboratory will include microscopy, staining, and both physiological and serological methods of identification. Laboratory fees: $50.
-
4.00 - 8.00 Credits
A study of the life histories, ecology, evolution, taxonomy, and behavior of the vertebrates. Emphasis is placed upon groups of local importance. Included will be methods of research, collecting techniques, and preservation of specimens. During this learning experience students have the option of an in-depth study of either the birds or the mammals in addition to the study of the entire vertebrate group. Students desiring to study and research either the birds or mammals may earn an additional four credits of credit in either BIOL 360 (Ornithology) or BIOL 440 (Mammalogy) for the experience. The in-depth analysis of one of the two groups will require field study, collection of specimens, and a hypothesis driven research project which may be used to fulfill the capstone learning experience in science. Offered on demand. Prerequisite: BIOL 224.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a general introduction to microbiology with a focus on prokaryotic organisms. Microorganisms to be examined include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This class will cover a wide variety of topics including physiology, genetics, diversity, pathogens, biotechnology, and ecology. The laboratory will include microscopy, staining, and both physiological and serological methods of identification and independent research projects. Laboratory fee $50.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of Mendelian genetics, the laws governing inheritance, congenital human defects, and the statistical analysis of data collected. Discussions also include molecular genetics, and population genetics. Laboratory investigations of Drosophila provide students with opportunities to test various hypotheses and may be used to generate senior research projects to satisfy the capstone learning experience in science. Offered every other fall semester in odd numbered years. Prerequisite: NSCI 120, NSCI 190, BIOL 224. Laboratory fee $50.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the principles of immunity, pathogenicity, virulence, and toxicities. Cellular and humoral immunity and the interaction of the two will be discussed and a thorough study of antigens, antibodies, and their reactions in vitro and in vivo are considered. The laboratory will emphasize the study and analysis of these reactions, their application to diagnosis, systematics, and principles of immunity. Offered every other spring semester in even numbered years. Prerequisites: NSCI 120, NSCI 190, BIOL 224, BIOL 331. Laboratory fee $50.
-
3.00 Credits
A discussion of evolutionary theory, including the ideas of Plato, Lamarck, Wallace, Bonnet, Linneaus, Van Helmont, Hooke, Cuvier, Lyell, Darwin, Mayr, and Gould. Included in the discussions is evidence for evolution, the scientific concept of a theory, sources of opposition to the theory, the creationist movement, and the role of science in public education. Prerequisite: NSCI 105. This learning experience is an extension of discussions began in NSCI 105. Non-science students are encouraged to explore evolutionary theory and develop critical thinking skills through this course. Offered on demand.
