63 courses with the subject BIO, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BIO 101Anatomy & Physiology I (0, 4)
Structure and function of the human body, including cells, tissues, skin, and the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. May not be taken by biology majors except by special permission.
Examination of the major structures and functions of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems in humans. This course is intended for students in programs that require a one-semester anatomy and physiology course.
An overview of the most important concepts in biology with an emphasis on concepts that are fundamental to learning biology in more advanced coursework and an understanding of how biology affects our everyday lives.
This course explores natural processes, ecological principles, and contemporary environmental changes that are significant to science, nature, and human society. Students will study the natural world through hands-on and field-based activities.
Exploration of the nature and historical perceptions of human sexuality, its biological foundations, social and behavioral implications, cross-cultural comparisons, encouraging personal refection and self-discovery while improving interpersonal communication and understanding. Open to all majors but may not count as a major elective for biology major. Same as PSY 207 .
Fundamental principles of human genetics and the social, medical, and moral issues raised by current research in such areas as race, behavior, intelligence, and genetic engineering. (Lecture only). Open to all majors, but may not count as a major elective for biology majors.
This course explores the ways water influences life on Earth, including aspects of ecology, physiology, and biodiversity. Students will learn fundamental concepts of water science and will use hands-on field and laboratory activities to study water in nearby ecosystems.
This course will introduce you to biology, the Biology major, and different options and career paths in biology. We will help you build your academic pathway to achieve your goals, as well as help you to understand how to succeed as a student and in the Biology major.
This course is an introduction to human anatomy and physiology including basic body terminology, biological chemistry, cellular structure and function, tissues structure and function, and structure and function of organ systems including skin, bone, skeletal muscle and nervous system.
Human anatomy with emphasis on structure and function of the neuromusculoskeletal system of the extremities and back. Laboratory involves examination and identification of these structures through dissection of human cadavers. Prerequisite(s); if any: Open only to students accepted in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy programs or with permission of the instructor. BIO 101 and BIO 102 .
Study of life as characterized by cell organization and structure, release and utilization of energy, photosynthesis growth and reproduction, interaction with the environment, Mendelian inheritance, genetic technology, and change over time. Laboratory experiences reflect lectures and expose students to scientific methodology, hypothesis building and testing, various qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis.
Study of the effects that age related and age associated cellular and organismic changes have on the human aging process. Open to all majors, but may not count as a major elective for biology majors. Meets with AGE 214 .
Individually supervised research and study. Provides opportunity for students to engage in original research or to pursue scholarly investigations beyond the boundaries of established courses. Arranged by agreement between the student and the instructor, subject to approval of coordinator and division dean.
Fossil invertebrates and some plants and vertebrates, including dinosaurs. Fossil record as a tool for stratigraphy, paleoecology, paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological reconstructions, and understanding evolution and mass extinctions. Lectures, laboratory, field trips. Same as GOL 313
Contemporary experimental methods using an ecological and evolutionary approach to the study of animal behavior. Observational and experimental procedures will be used to study animal behavior in the laboratory and natural habitats.
Chemical and biological properties of the principal components of cellular metabolism. Emphasis on the interrelation and controls of the metabolic pathways involved in energy utilization. Same as CHE 363
Individually supervised research and study. Provides opportunity for students to engage in original research or to pursue scholarly investigations beyond the boundaries of established courses. Arranged by agreement between the student and the instructor, subject to approval of coordinator and division dean.
Biology of bacterial, plant and animal viruses. Virus structure, infective and replicative cycles, virus-host interactions. Role of viruses in infectious disease and cancer. Viruses as vehicles in biotechnology and gene therapy.
Applied experience in a specific field of study. Interns will work with or shadow a professional in an applied area of biology, prepare a manuscript and oral presentation describing the experience. Prerequisite(s); if any: 25 credits in Biology.
Critical analysis of research literature and integration of diverse disciplines to foster a more comprehensive understanding of issues in the biological sciences. Prerequisite(s); if any: 25 credits of Biology coursework.
Senior Biology majors must satisfactorily complete the Biology Major Field Test on a designated date during the semester of graduation and complete additional evaluation measures (pass/fail). Must be a Biology major in the semester of graduation.
Study of relationship between tropical organisms and their environment, with special emphasis on biological diversity, and population, community, and ecosystem ecology of tropical environments. Required field trip to the tropics.
Evolutionary and ecological approach to the study of animal behavior. Identification of major patterns and processes of behavior and proximate and ultimate factors influencing behavior; discussion of classical and current methodologies for studying behavior. Same as BIO 338
Contemporary experimental methods using an ecological and evolutionary approach to the study of animal behavior. Observational and experimental procedures will be used to study animal behavior in the laboratory and natural habitats. Same as BIO 338L .
The nervous system, from building blocks to brain, including disciplines of anatomy, physiology, cell biology, and psychophysics. Critical analysis of the primary literature. Same as BIO 343 .
Individual reading or research in a topic of interest between the student and the instructor. Must be approved in advance by the appropriate graduate program director.
