Course Descriptions COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ( F = Classes offered in the Fall, S = Classes offered in the Spring, SU = Classes offered in the Summer, D = Classes offered upon Demand, O = Odd years, E = Even years)
disposal of contaminants, sampling body microbes, diagnostic procedures, and use of techniques to isolate and/or identify microbes from clinical samples. Corequisite: BIOL 2354L; Prerequisites: BIOL 1004 & CHEM 1004. F, S, SU BIOL 2503 PARASITOLOGY A study of the identification, isolation, morphology and life cycles of those parasites that affect man; includes both helminthology and protozoology. Prerequisites: BIOL 1004. D BIOL 3012 BIOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY The course is designed to familiarize the students with the terminology used in biological disciplines. This familiarization will be accomplished by learning root words, prefixes, and suffixes from Latin and Greek and by This course introduces the study of molecular, morphological, and physiological aspects of cell biology. Lecture only. Prerequisites: BIOL 1054 and BIOL 1254. F, S BIOL 3074 ANIMAL BEHAVIOR This course is designed for students to develop a thorough understanding of animal behavior. The course will take an in-depth look into several behaviors including communication, antipredator, aggression, and mating to name a few. We will pay particular attention to the underlying mechanisms (e.g., hormones) that drive these behavioral decisions, the theory around the costs/benefits of behavioral decisions, and, ultimately, why and under what conditions behaviors have evolved. In addition to discussion periods (lectures), this course will also contain a fused lab component. Drawing from the Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) model, students will engage in two large-scale research projects. These projects will give students the opportunity to travel to field sites to make observations in nature and collect wild specimens which they bring back for further study under lab conditions. In the lab, students will apply their understanding of the scientific process to design and run behavioral experiments. Corequisite: BIOL 3074L. Prerequisites: BIOL 1254, CHEM 1352, and CHEM 1303. FE BIOL 3152 GENETICS AND CELL BIOLOGY LABORATORY The laboratory study of genetics and cell biology. Corequisite: BIOL 3253 . Prerequisites: BIOL 1054 and BIOL 1254. F, S BIOL 3253 GENETICS An introduction to genetics including Mendelian, molecular, and population genetics. Required for all Biological Science majors and Natural Science Education majors. Prerequisites: BIOL 1054 and BIOL 1254. Corequisite: BIOL 3152. F, S BIOL 3283 ECOLOGY Introduction to population, community, and ecosystem ecology. Lecture only. Prerequisites: BIOL 1054 and BIOL 1254. F, S BIOL 3304 AQUATIC ECOLOGY An introduction to freshwater ecosystems (rivers and lakes) with respect to their physical, chemical, and biological structure. These diverse aspects are united in the concept of trophic status. Adaptations of aquatic organisms to the aquatic environment are emphasized. The laboratory involves extensive field studies in local aquatic environments with emphasis on collection methods, analytical techniques, and data analysis. Fulfills program field studying word analysis techniques. D BIOL 3053 CELL BIOLOGY
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES
BIOL 1004 BIOLOGICAL CONCEPTS An introduction to the concepts and methods of biology needed to understand biological issues faced by society. Upon completion of the course students will be able to apply the scientific method to problem solving and to explain natural phenomena. Students will also understand such concepts as the role of the cell in maintaining conditions essential for life. In addition, students will be able to describe the interactions between living organisms and the environment at the population, ecosystem, and biosphere levels and to identify potential impacts on society of biotechnology, world population growth, and human influences on global biogeochemical cycles. Does not apply to Biology major or minor credit. Corequisite: BIOL 1004L F, S, SU BIOL 1013 CURRENT ISSUES IN BIOLOGY Students will be introduced to how basic knowledge of biological sciences can contribute to their growth as informed global citizens. The course focuses on biological principles that have immediate applications in our everyday lives. The course will also require that students use the knowledge they received to debate important issues, solve problems, and communicate complex issues to their peers. Does not apply to Biology major or minor credit . F, S BIOL 1054 PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGY I Introduction to major molecular, cellular and genetic principles needed to understand the functioning of all organisms. Investigative laboratories introduce important techniques and methodologies used by modern biologists. Students will be introduced to scientific procedure, reasoning, problem solving, and reporting. Required for all biological sciences majors and minors and recommended for pre-professional and other science majors. Corequisite: BIOL 1054L . F, S BIOL 1254 PRINCIPLES OF BIOLOGY II Introduction to major principles of evolutionary theory, the unity and diversity of life, and form and function in living organisms. The course and laboratory emphasize practice of scientific procedure while developing skills in reading, writing, researching, and speaking about science. Students are introduced to biological tools and techniques for understanding form and function. Required for all biology majors and minors as well as programs in medical laboratory science and secondary education. Corequisite: BIOL 1254L . Prerequisite: BIOL 1054. F, S BIOL 2205 HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY A study of the structure and function of the human body. This course is designed to meet the needs of students in Medical Laboratory Technology and Radiologic Technology and others who need a working knowledge of the human body and its functions. This course fulfills the Anatomy and Physiology requirement for Health Information Management majors. Prerequisite: BIOL 1004 or BIOL 2204 or permission of Instructor. F BIOL 2354 MICROBIOLOGY FOR NURSING & ALLIED HEALTH This course emphasizes the interaction of microorganisms with humans and microbe-induced diseases including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Specific areas of focus include: culturing of pathogens; differentiation, classification, and treatment of pathogens; physiology and genetics of disease-causing microbes; mechanisms of pathogenicity; and immunology and vaccines. Includes training in aseptic technique, proper
