4.00 Credits
This is the first part of a two-semester sequence of an introductory-level biology course for science majors. This course is designed for students who want to major in biology or another science, or who plan to attend dental, veterinary, or medical school after graduation. It will cover the fundamentals of biomolecules, cell physiology, respiration and photosynthesis, and genetics. In laboratory, students will perform experiments including analysis of biochemical reactions, photosynthesis and fermentation, a microscopic study of cell and nuclear division, and genetics techniques including DNA electrophoresis Students will learn to write laboratory reports in the same format as professional journal articles. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Course fee: $ 75
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of BIO 107 and is designed for students who want to major in biology or another science, or who plan to attend dental, veterinary, or medical school after graduation. It will cover the fundamentals of evolution, comparative biodiversity, human and animal anatomy and physiology, and ecology and environmental science. In laboratory, students will perform experiments including the analysis of skull fossils, cultivation, growth and analysis of bacteria, human anatomy and physiology, water analysis, and an analysis of the effect of pollution on aquatic organisms. Students will continue to practice writing laboratory reports in the same format as professional journal articles. Field trips are a part of the lab requirement. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 107 Course fee: $ 75
-
2.00 Credits
Internships provide intellectually enriching work experiences related to the student's major and/or career interest. They enhance and integrate academic study with supervised practical experience and training. Students may receive course credit for internships by enrolling in this course either concurrently or in the semester after the internship experience. Prerequisite: BIO 108 or permission of the major advisor
-
4.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of modern genetics, beginning with classical Mendelian genetics and continuing through molecular genetics. Laboratory activities will introduce students to techniques currently used in genetics laboratories, including gel electrophoresis, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and DNA fingerprinting using STR polymorphism analysis. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 100
-
5.00 Credits
A general survey of the microorganisms, with emphasis on their morphology, physiology, growth, and methods of isolation and identification. Three hours of lecture and two two-hour laboratories per week. Prerequisites: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 100
-
4.00 Credits
Advanced survey of the biology of invertebrates with an emphasis on comparative and functional morphology to include major features of body plans (multicellularity, symmetry etc), physiology, evolution, systematics, behavior of the invertebrates, a study of the reproductive strategies, development and diverse ecological strategies invertebrates exhibit. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 75
-
4.00 Credits
A comprehensive course with emphasis on major body systems including musculoskeletal, nervous, digestive, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. This course is designed to give Physical Education majors a strong foundation for PED 341 (Kinesiology). Field trips that have direct applications to the course are arranged, dependant on availability. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 105 Course fee: $ 75
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the interrelationships between organisms and physical factors in and with the natural world. The course discusses ecological parameters (physical factors, nutrient cycles, energy flow), organisms (life histories, evolutionary fitness), populations (population growth, temporal and spatial dynamics), communities (predator-prey interactions, competition, co-evolution, succession), ecosystems (biomes, biodiversity, species-area relationships). Laboratory experiences will include both field trips and modeling exercises. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 75
-
4.00 Credits
Through a combination of lectures, laboratories, field trips and independent research projects, this course will provide a general overview of the many aspects of vertebrate biology to include: comparative anatomy of the vertebrates, function of organ systems, developmental pathways, evolution, physiological, ecological and behavioral adaptations. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 50
-
4.00 Credits
Molecular, cellular, physiological, morphological, ecological, systematics, and evolutionary principles of plants, with special reference to their economic importance, genetics, and ecology. The course also includes brief discussions on algae and some bacteria, as well as fungi. The course consists of tightly linked lecture and laboratory laboratory learning experiences. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIO 108 Course fee: $ 75
