6.00 Credits
(1-4 Units) For the student capable of independent specialized work in studio and/or history and criticism. Students would normally be senior art majors with one year of study in the department. A written outline of the proposed independent study must be submitted and approved by the instructor under whom the student wishes to work. May be repeated for a total of 6 units. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Development of astronomical thought from Ptolemy to Einstein; the Earth and the moon; atoms; light and the tools of astronomers; planets, comets, and meteors; the sun, stars, stellar evolution; galaxies and cosmology. Satisfies G.E. area B1. (Lecture, 3 hours) (Fall, Spring)
-
1.00 Credits
(1 Unit) Telescope observations of the moon, planets, their satellites, and sunspots. Laboratory experiments related to astronomy. Satisfies G.E. area B1. Prerequisites: ASTR 2100 or concurrent enrollment in ASTR 2100.
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) A survey of recent developments in astronomy; gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet, infrared, and gravitational astronomy; stars, interstellar molecules, stellar evolutions, neutron stars, pulsars, and black holes; galaxies, radio galaxies, quasars; new trends in cosmological thinking, new findings of space programs about the planets and the sun. Satisfies G.E. area F1. Prerequisites: Upper-division standing or consent of instructor. (Lecture, 3 hours)
-
1.00 Credits
(2 Units) Theory of the photographic process; astrophotography of the moon, planets, star clusters and galaxies; photographic photometry; reduction of photographic data. (Lecture, 1 hour; activity, 2 hours)
-
1.00 Credits
(1 Unit) Basic laboratory and/or field studies in various biological areas. (Topics to be specified in Class Schedule) Satisfies laboratory requirement in natural sciences. Different topics can be taken for credit under this number, but may be taken only once for GE credit. Satisfies G.E. area B2. Prerequisites: BIOL 1010 or concurrent enrollment. (Laboratory, 3 hours) (Fall, Winter, Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Basic concepts of human genetics will be covered including inheritance patterns of traits, genetic diseases, chromosome aberrations, prenatal diagnosis, the Human Genome Project, and evolutionary genetics. Emphasis will be placed on DNA technology as it relates to current genetic issues. This course will not meet the upper-division genetics requirement, nor may it be used as an elective for the genetics concentration. Satisfies G.E. area B2. (Lecture, 3 hours) (Fall, Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Basic ecological concepts as they apply to present-day resource management and human environmental problems, including wildlife, forest, soil, water, air, and mineral resources.

-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) Consideration of different topics of biology that are currently in the forefront of research and public awareness. Emphasis is on further development of biological principles learned in lower-division general education courses in natural sciences and in preparing people to deal with questions and decisions relating to biological developments affecting their lives. Topics vary from semester to semester but may include genetic engineering, ecology, cancer research, agricultural developments, disease treatment and control, wildlife and endangered species. May also be used to count towards electives in the major. Satisfies G.E. area F1. Prerequisites: Junior standing. (Lecture, 3 hours) (Fall, Spring)
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Units) An introduction to organic evolution for students unacquainted with the subject. Its implications extend far beyond the confines of biology, ramifying into all phases of human life and activity. May also be used to count towards electives in the major. Satisfies G.E. area F1. Prerequisites: Junior standing. (Lecture, 3 hours) (Fall, Winter)
