BIOL 100General Biology I– Lecture & Lab4
This course is an introduction to the structure and function of living systems with an emphasis on cellular and molecular biology. Fundamental concepts include the chemical basis of life, cell structure and function, cell division, metabolism, classical and molecular genetics, and biotechnology. This course includes a laboratory component incorporating experimental design, microscopic work, and cellular and molecular biology techniques. Along with General Biology II, this course is part of a two-semester sequence of general biology that can be taken in any order. Lecture and laboratory. Goal Area: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 (Biological) Core Competencies: 2a, 2b Prerequisite: None
This course is an introduction to plant identification, ethnobotany and ecology. Laboratory activities and field trips will focus on the local flora and vegetation. Goal Area: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 10.1, 10.4, 10.5, & 10.6 Prerequisite: None Core Competencies: 2b
This course is an introduction to the scientific study of our environment. This course examines Earth’s natural systems and human impacts on those systems, including the associated technological, socio- economic, and political challenges. Selected topics include sustainability, environmental justice, ecosystems, conservation, impacts on human health, food security, water quality and usage, climate change, and renewable energy. Applications focus on the ecosystems and natural resource challenges of the White Earth Reservation. Goal Area: 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, & 10.6 Core Competencies: 1b, 2b Prerequisite: None Academic Catalog 2023-2024 20
This course is designed for students who do not anticipate pursuing further studies in biology but want a basic understanding of how the human body works and how humans fit within the rest of the living world. This course will study human biology from the molecular and genetic to organ system levels, with emphasis placed on human disease prevention and treatment, nutrition, and environmental effects on health. A key objective of the course is to raise students' science literacy to enable them to understand scientific issues for making personal and public policy decisions. Lecture only. Lab simulations will be used to supplement lecture. Goal Area: 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 Prerequisite: None Core Competencies: 2a & 2b BMGT – BUSINESS MANAGEMENT
