Emphasizes the concept of biological molecules and discusses the role of these molecules in the genetics and cell biology of the organism though inquiry based laboratory exercises.

Basic bacteriology, parasitology, virology, genetics, and principles of infection and immune response. Emphasis on application to health and disease.

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.

Introduction to the fundamental principles of how the environment functions and how people interact with their environment. The emphasis will be on populations, resource use, pollution, disease and land-use and the associated ethical, economic and political concerns. The course is designed to integrate an understanding of the way in which people interact with their environment and use resources, the consequences of this interaction and mechanisms by which the impacts can be mitigated and sustainable systems achieved.

Research and thesis preparation. Repeatable to a maximum of six hours of credit.
