BBST 490 - Practicum
Credits 3 A survey of biological principles including: the cell, zoology, ecology, human anatomy, genetics, and origin of life theories.

BIOS 103 - Introduction to Environmental Science Credits 3 An interdisciplinary approach to the study of the environment using concepts from ecology, biology, chemistry, geology, the social sciences and Scripture to understand the interplay of natural resources, how humans are affecting the environment, and how to deal with environmental problems. Notes: Approved for Core Curriculum Science credit. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must be Undergraduate Level. BIOS 110 - Observational Biology Laboratory Credits 2 Observational and investigative approach to surveying a range of biological organisms and examining selected human systems. Notes: Three hours lab, one hour lecture/discussion designed to be taken with BIOS 100. Approved for Core Curriculum Science Credit. Grade Mode: A. Restrictions: Must not be Bio Sci:Secondary Instruction (BISI), Human Biology (BIHB), Biological Science (BIOS), Biochemistry (BCHM) or Environmental Science (BIES); and must be Undergraduate Level. Fee: Lab $95. BIOS 111 - Fundamentals of Cellular and Molecular Biology Credits 3 Introductory course for majors emphasizing the principles of cellular and molecular biology, genetics, and development.
