This course introduces the principles of general bacteriology, morphology, physiology, and bacterial relationships in nature. Students gain experience in laboratory methods for the cultivation of bacteria and their destruction as well as for general laboratory procedures. Lecture and laboratory meet separately each week. Must be concurrently enrolled in lab.
Suffering 3 This course provides the student with knowledge of the basic mechanisms involved in human disease processes. Topics include processes of diseases and disorders, such as inflammation, infection, cancer, aging, genetic disorders, immune deficiency, and autoimmune disorders. Stress and substance abuse-related disorders will also be discussed. Healthy People 2020 initiatives will be used to explore the causes of common healthcare problems and programs to improve the health of our population. Students interested in pursuing careers in healthcare, Dean College Academic Catalog 2025–2026 public health or health education will gain insights into the fundamental concepts germane to human diseases. or better in both BIO 171 and BIO 172, or in BIO 175 or
This course is designed to introduce students in the Biology major to the dynamic relationships between cellular structures and processes and their molecular mechanisms. A foundation in cellular structure and function will be used to explore advanced cellular processes, such as cell signaling between and within a cell, cell movement, division, differentiation and specialization and both apoptotic and necrotic cell death. Laboratories will focus on exercises that will help illustrate cellular phenomena, as well as an introduction to techniques and procedures commonly utilized in modern cellular and molecular research. The development of critical thinking processes and proficiency in scientific reading and writing will be emphasized throughout the course. Lecture and lab meet separately during the week. Must be concurrently enrolled in lab. Prerequisite: a grade of “B–” or better in BIO 151, BIO 171, or BIO 180. Lab fee: $75. Offered every spring semester. G
Medicine in 20th Century America 4 In 1951, Henrietta Lacks, a young African American woman from Baltimore, died of cervical cancer. Tumor cells were taken from Lacks without her knowledge or consent. These cells, now known as HeLa cells, were the first immortal cell line grown in a laboratory, and they continue to contribute to medical discoveries today. This course explores the intersection of the history of medicine with social history in America, focusing particularly on the category of race. We will use a historical lens to discuss broader ethical questions about race and medicine; for example, access to medical care and the use of human subjects in medical research. In the lab, students will have the hands-on opportunity to investigate the connections between cell biology, modern medicine, and social and ethical questions. Lecture and laboratory meet separately each week. Must be concurrently enrolled in lab. This course is cross-listed with HIS 250. Prerequisites: ENG 111, Core Mathematics requirement, and BIO 151, BIO 171, BIO 175, or BIO 180. Lab fee: $75. Offered on an as-needed basis. This course fulfills the Core Distribution Natural Sciences and Mathematics requirement.
