2 courses with the subject MCB, 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.
MCB 400EExperiential Component in Molecular & Cellular Biochemistry. (M) Zero units. This zero-unit
course is the experiential component of the senior learning community and is linked to Senior Thesis in Biological Sciences (BI 400). It includes at least 100 hours of experiential, which must be completed prior to BI 400, as determined by the chair of the student’s senior thesis committee. This experiential component serves as the basis for the research paper completed in BI 400. Permission of Departmental Senior Learning Community Coordinator required. Offered fall, spring, and summer.
MCB 491Advances in Molecular & Cellular Biochemistry. (M)(O)(R) One unit. Three hours of lecture each
week. This course introduces students to key concepts and advances in research in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic molecular cells. Students receive instruction on effective approaches to critically reading primary research articles and on how to give an effective journal club presentation. Students will practice and hone these skills by preparing and presenting multiple oral presentations over the course of the semester. This course is part of the senior learning community in biology, microbiology and molecular cell biology and is normally taken during the senior year. A non-refundable laboratory fee is required. NEUROSCIENCE, B.S. Mission and Student Learning Goals for a Major in Neuroscience (B.S.) The mission of the undergraduate program in neuroscience (NS) within the Department of Biological Sciences at Wagner College is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of modern neuroscience and offer training that is applicable to laboratory, instructional and clinical careers. Interdisciplinary by nature, the neuroscience curriculum will emphasize the physical, biochemical, molecular, and physiological underpinnings of the central and peripheral nervous system. By graduation, neuroscience majors should possess or have demonstrated: • a basic knowledge of fundamental concepts in cell and molecular, cognitive, and anatomical neuroscience. • an extended knowledge of signal propagation and neuronal communication. • a clear conceptual knowledge of sensory modalities. • a general knowledge of behavioral neuroscience. • a basic knowledge of statistical analysis. REQUIREMENTS FOR A MAJOR IN NEUROSCIENCE (B.S.) A minimum of 21 units with the following distribution 81 / 445
