Schedule of Classes

Principles of ecology and ecosystem function and diversity for non-science majors. BIO 101 is not a prerequisite.

Basic bacteriology, parasitology, virology, genetics, and principles of infection and immune response. Emphasis on application to health and disease. May be taken with or without laboratory: with laboratory, 4 credit hours; without laboratory, 3 credit hours.

A continuation of BIO 230 designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of human physiology and pathophysiology. Lectures will address the function of all major organ systems of the body from a molecular and cellular perspective. Students gain an understanding of organ system integration in supporting homeostasis and also of how the disease process interrupts physiological systems.

Basic functions and related anatomy of a variety of organisms at various levels of organization. With laboratory.

Individual reading and research projects for qualified underclassmen. Repeatable up to 3 semester hours. Pass/Fail.

Ecosystem; how people interact with their environment. Emphasis on population, pollution, disease, and land use.

Provides students with an understanding of a content area of Biology that they cannot experience through any course currently offered in biology at the level appropriate for the minor. The courses will be organized, taught, and graded in a manner that is consistent with the other courses offered for the Biology Minor and as consistent with the practice of the Biology Department. Priority for enrollment will be given to students in the biology minor. BIO 359 will not count towards the biology major.
