data. Frequent lab discussion of relevant issues and literature will be included. Usually taken concurrently with BIOS 111, but may be taken separately if Biology AP credit has been granted. Lab fee: $60 General Biology II. ................................................................... 3 Continuation of general biology emphasizing the principles of human physiology, ecology and homeostatic mecha- nisms. Prerequisite BIOS 111 or signature of instructor. Spring semester.
Philosophy 215 is recommended for Human Biology .
Note:
BIOS 112
All Biological Science majors automatically meet the general education requirement of eight units of science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or first four units in college.
Note:
BIOS 112L General Biology II: Laboratory. ........................................... 1 This laboratory, which accompanies General Biology II, will involve dissection as well as experimentation. A major project involving the Biola Creek is included. Usually taken concur- rently with BIOS 112, but may be taken separately if Biology AP credit has been granted. Lab fee: $60.
Minor A Biological Sciences Minor is offered with the completion of 20 units, 12 of which must be upper division. General Biology (111 and 112) are required. The remaining elective units are to be approved by a department adviser. Please note that many upper division biology courses require chemistry as a prerequisite. Chemistry courses do not count toward the Biological Sciences Minor. Admission Requirements High school requirements are: one year of biology, one year of chemistry, three years of mathematics, and two years of foreign language. One year of physics is desirable. Deficiencies can be ful- filled with permission from the Department of Biological Science. English Requirements Students wishing to enroll in any courses in the Biological Sci- ences must be eligible to take English 100 or 110A or must have the permission of the instructor to take the course.
Current Topics in Biology...................................................... 3 Selected topics of current interest and concern are studied. Sections are offered each year upon sufficient demand. Topics are the following: Human Ecology. An introduction to contemporary environ- mental problems emphasizing man’s role in their cause and responsible stewardship of natural resources, including such topics as biological diversity, cycles in nature, population dy- namics, pollution, progress, energy sources, natural resources, endangered species, and attitudes toward the earth.
BIOS 120
Human Biology. Selected body systems and/or diseases will be studied in detail.
Courses (BIOS) BIOS 100
Biological Principles: Lecture............................................... 3 Unifying principles of biology with emphasis on human organ systems. No lab is required, but Biology 110 is the lab course designed to accompany this course. Biology 100 without the lab (110) will not receive transfer credit at most other universi- ties. Not open to biology majors. Observational Biology—Laboratory. ............................... 2 Observational and investigative approach to surveying a range of biological organisms and examining selected hu- man systems. Three hours lab, one hour lecture / discussion designed to be taken with Biology 100. Lab fee: $40. General Biology I...................................................................... 3 Introductory course for majors emphasizing the principles of cellular and molecular biology, genetics, development.
Nutrition. A detailed study of the basic nutritional needs of humans: water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins and minerals. Also included is coverage of certain nutritional issues such as health foods, megavitamins, obesity and food additives, as well as a computer-aided personal diet-analysis assignment. Plant / Animal Studies. An investigative and/or identification approach to studying selected plant and/or animal groups. Baja Trip fee: $900 (if field taught in Baja). (See also Biology 333). Seminar in Biological Science.......................................... 1-2 Directed research (literature or laboratory) in selected areas of biology with written and/or oral presentations by students; intended to stimulate inquiry and creative thought. Not open to biology majors. Botany.......................................................................................... 4 The study of the organs, tissues, functions and responses to environment of typical flowering plants and the morphology
