Catalog Description In this course, we will be investigating many of the topics covered in BIOL 1103 Environmental Science Lecture using problem-based inquiry and simulations. Investigations include experiments, both field and lab, where we will collect and analyze data and report on outcomes with a lens of how these issues affect various human communities. This course can be used with BIOL 1103 (Lecture) to satisfy a general education lab requirement. There are 3 total laboratory hours per week.
Catalog Description This course is designed to focus on the annual Nobel Conference theme explored at Gustavus Adolphus College. Presenters are internationally recognized to be on the cutting edge of their respective biological science disciplines. Attendance of the conference is required. Five to six weeks are preparatory, and following the conference a discussion-seminar format is used to further explore the conference theme. In a lab-like experience, students will do extensive reading and perform a library research project where results are reported in class.
Catalog Description This course is an introduction to microorganisms, biology and chemistry of cells, genetics, metabolic processes, microevolution, the interaction between pathogens and the immune system, transmission of infections, and control of microbial growth in the body and the environment. The laboratory portion of the course will focus on aseptic technique, microscopy, diagnostic microbiology, antimicrobial resistance, virology, and public health policy development. This course is 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab. This course aligns with the American Society of Microbiology curriculum guidelines as well as the test plan for the National Council Licensure for Registered Nurses. This course is intended for Liberal Arts students and/or students in health fields.

The following topics will be explored: the process of science, introduction to anatomy and physiology, and homeostasis, basic chemistry and biochemistry, cell and metabolism, tissues, integumentary system, skeletal system, articulations, muscular system, nervous system, and special senses. Laboratory work will include animal dissection, data collection and analysis. Course consists of 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab weekly.
Catalog Description This course is an intensive, detailed study of body structure and function utilizing principles of chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology. The following topics will be explored: endocrine system, cardiovascular system, lymphatic system, nonspecific defense and immunity, respiratory system, digestive system, urinary system, fluid/electrolyte and acid/base balance, and reproductive system. Laboratory work will include limited animal dissection. Course consists of 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab weekly.
Catalog Description This course includes a study of general microbiology including bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and mycology. Students will explore the diverse individuals responsible for molding the field, as well as aspects of microbial ecology and epidemiology, including host-pathogen interactions and environmental influences on growth and reproduction. The course emphasis is on bacteria: principles of control and culture, genetics and metabolic processes, and microbiological techniques. The course includes three lecture hours and two 90-minute laboratories per week.

Catalog Description The Independent Research Summer Program (IRSP) is a multidisciplinary initiative where students explore scientific research in molecular and cellular biology, genetics, biochemistry, developmental biology, microbiology, ecology, plant sciences, and/or other fields of student/faculty interest. IRSP includes 1 week of research literature training and orientation conducted by ARCC faculty and 10 weeks of laboratory or field research under the guidance of both a University of Minnesota faculty mentor and an ARCC faculty mentor. Students earn 3 semester credits upon successful completion of their research experience assessed by an oral and/or written presentation of their work. Participating students are highly encouraged to present their work at institutional, regional, or national research showcases or meetings. ARCC is committed to an inclusive and equitable learning environment and encourages students of diverse backgrounds to apply.
Catalog Description This course covers advanced concepts in biology applied to real-life research problems. Under faculty mentorship, students will learn to analyze biological research problems, formulate hypotheses, and use equipment and protocols to gather and analyze data typical to biological research in order to help address ongoing research problems.
