This course is a survey of form and function of the major plant groups as well as the bacteria, algae, water molds, slime molds and fungi within the overall framework of a modern phylogenetic system of classification.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce the basic concepts of cell chemistry and biology as well as introduce the concept and skills of cellular and molecular biology. It examines structures and functions common to all organisms; cell structure and function, the central dogma, and biochemistry.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the theoretical foundations of bioethics, including the most influential schools of moral philosophy and their practical implications in life sciences. It discusses professional ethics, such as the ethical issues that arise from conflicting professional responsibilities and topics such as abortion and euthanasia.
-

This course introduces students to the tenets of Sustainability: economic viability, environmental protection and social equity and how these tenets work together to not only help the current populations, but future generations as well.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of biotechnology, its impacts on individuals, society, and the environment, and surrounding ethical, social, and economic issues. The course examines how biological processes, organisms, genes, proteins, and cells are used to develop technologies, and their applications in medicine, research, industry, agriculture, and forensics.
-
3.00 Credits
Biomedical Terminology and Usage is a course designed to provide students in the pre-health sciences and interested in a career in biomedical sciences with an opportunity to learn relevant terminology in the areas of medicine, microbiology, immunology, genetics, and cell/molecular biology. The course will examine the most common terms used in these fields of study and allow the students an opportunity to use the terms to successfully communicate complex scientific and medical concepts.
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Genetics plays an important role in all aspects of biology, acting on molecules, cells, organisms and populations. Genetic analysis also provides a powerful approach to address biological questions, and its methodologies are employed in fields as diverse as biotechnology, forensics, medicine and conservation. This course introduces students to the principles of classical and molecular genetics. Emphasis is placed on understanding the basic concepts of genetics and on using genetic analysis to study biological problems, developing analytical and problem-solving skills. BIO 218 will provide students with a strong background in genetics, which will be useful for those interested in pursuing a career in the life sciences, conservation and population biology, health sciences, biotechnology or medical professions.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the scientific principles, research methods, commercial applications, societal impacts, and business environment that impact and define the operation of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Students will learn how genes, proteins and cells work, how biotechnologists study and manipulate living organisms, and how those methods are used to solve problems and create products in medicine, agriculture, industry, criminal justice and the environment. Students will examine ethical, social and economic issues affecting the use of biotechnologies, and the business and regulatory environment in which biotechnology companies operate. The course gives a detailed industry overview relevant to science, engineering, computer science, information management, and business majors considering technical or business careers in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies or any student interesting in biotechnology's impact on the human condition.
