30 courses with the subject BI, 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.

Second part of the introductory biology course for Biology majors and persons who will enroll in upper-level courses in biology. The course of study will include an introduction to evolutionary theory, a survey of the kingdoms of living organisms, plant anatomy and physiology, an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of vertebrate body systems, and an introduction to the fundamental principles of ecology and environmental science. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week Prerequisites: BI 101
This course is required for all Biology majors. Introduction to the Biology Major will serve as a mentoring experience for first year and transfer students that will introduce them to the discipline of biology, careers associated with biological sciences, their faculty, and upper-level students. This course will also enable entering students to learn a variety of information and skills necessary to succeed in biology and other science courses.
This course focuses on developing effective communication skills for conveying scientific concepts, research, and findings to a variety of audiences. Students will explore different modes of science communication, including written, oral, and digital formats, and will learn to tailor their messages to diverse audiences, ranging from experts in the field to the general public. Through practical assignments, students will engage in crafting clear and engaging science reports, popular science articles, presentations, and social media content.
Introduces students to the anatomy and physiology of the human body. All systems of the body will be discussed regarding normal and abnormal functioning. The course will include a detailed examination of such issues as tobacco and drug use, genetics, aging, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. Students will gain an understanding of the role that humans play in the biosphere including how human activities threaten ecosystems, and ways to lessen our impact.
This course provides a comprehensive study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics include the body organization, homeostasis, cytology, histology, and integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems and special senses. Upon 127
This course provides a continuation of the comprehensive study of the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics include the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems as well as metabolism, nutrition, acid-base balance, and fluid and electrolyte balance. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of principles of anatomy and physiology and their interrelationships
A survey of the animal kingdom with emphasis on the evolution, taxonomy, anatomy, and natural history of selected vertebrates and invertebrates. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week Prerequisite: BI 101, BI 102.
A survey of the plant kingdom with emphasis on the structure, classification, phylogeny, physiology, reproduction, economic importance, and identification of plants.
A study of the microscopic anatomy of mammalian cells, tissues, and organs, with emphasis on structure and functional relationships. Laboratory work includes microscopic study of various types of tissues and histological techniques useful in biological research. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week
This course provides an introduction to statistical methods and their application to biological and health-related research. Students will learn key concepts in biostatistics, including data types, descriptive statistics, probability theory, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, correlation, and regression analysis. Emphasis will be placed on understanding statistical techniques used in analyzing data from biological, medical, and environmental studies. Students will gain proficiency in using statistical software to perform data analysis, interpret results, and present findings. Topics covered include t- tests, chi-square tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), non-parametric methods, and survival analysis.
A study of the history of evolutionary biology, the history of living organisms, and mechanisms of evolutionary change (including variation, mutation, natural selections and adaptation, and molecular genetics), and human evolution.
A study of major organ systems of the vertebrate body with emphasis on phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary changes. Laboratory work includes study of dogfish shark, mud puppy, and cat. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. 128
Special Problems in Biology Research BI 423 3 (Sustainability or Environmental theme)
A study of the molecular basis of cell structure and function with emphasis on subcellular components, the organization of macromolecules into cellular organelles, membrane function, enzyme function, energetics, cellular metabolism, protein synthesis, cell division, cell motility, and regulatory mechanisms. The laboratory will include exercises on cell culture, cell fractionation, the use of spectrophotometry in the identification and characterization of cellular macromolecules, enzymes and enzyme kinetics, and western blotting to identify proteins. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week.
Total Hours 3-4 Example Course Plan for the Bachelor of Science – Biology is detailed in Appendix I – Curriculum Plans. In close coordination with and approval of their advisor some students may create a different path or sequence of course enrollment.
The chemical nature of genetic material, its transmission, mode of expression, and mechanism of gene action. Emphasis is placed on Mendelian inheritance, linkage, multiple alleles, molecular genetics, and control of gene expression, gene mutation, population genetics, and genetic diseases. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BI 101, BI 102, BI 225, BI 328.
A study of microorganisms with emphasis on classification, morphology, physiology, biochemical activity, microbial diseases, and immunity. Special emphasis is placed on microbial genetics, host defense mechanisms, the immune response, the microbiology of food and water, and microbial ecology. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: BI 101, BI102, BI 225, BI 328 and CH 221.
