8 courses with the subject BIOL, 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.
BIOL 1014Survey of Life4
This course fulfills one semester of a two-semester course sequence introducing concepts of biology and serves as a prerequisite for biology courses for biology majors and minors. Topics covered include an introduction to evolution, ecology, and a survey of the diversity of life. Lecture three credit hours. Lab two hours.
Eligible for enrollment in ENG 1113 English Composition I* without precollege level
BIOL 1024Biology for Non-Majors*4
A survey of biology to include an introduction to the fundamental principles of living organisms including properties, organization, function, evolutionary adaptation, and classification. Introductory study of concepts of reproduction, genetics, ecology, and the scientific method are included. Not appropriate for biology or health science majors. Lab required. lecture/lab Course Level Objectives
Provides an integrated study of plant and animal topics including the scientific method, introductory biological chemistry, cell structure, function and reproduction, nutrition, energy transformations such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration, the molecular basis of inheritance and the interaction of the organism and the environment. Lab Fee.

BIOL 1154Zoology*4
Designed as a survey of the animal kingdom with emphasis on the structure, function and reproduction of the invertebrate phyla. The course emphasizes comparisons of the different animal phyla regarding: obtaining, storing and utilizing food, exchanging gasses and eliminating wastes; transporting materials; coordinating activities; receiving and responding to environmental stimuli; moving and maintaining the species. A survey of Latin binomial nomenclature and identification methods are included. Lab Fee.
Botany is designed to be an introduction to the science of plants. Today plants play a major role in our very existence. They are, in fact, the only producers on this fragile planet. Many species are disappearing as we exploit the ecosystems where they are found. Most of you have studied the fundamental concepts of chemistry. We will briefly review these concepts including plant metabolism. We will begin with a study of the plant cell, followed by a study of plant organs, & some of the plant functions, such as photosynthesis. We will then depart our study of generalized plant anatomy & physiology to study plant populations & communities. We will complete the course with a study of the major Divisions in the Kingdom Plantae. Lab Fee.
Designed to study the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics include introductory biological chemistry, study of cells and tissues, the integument, skeletal system, muscular system, and the nervous system. Lab Fee.
Introduces the fundamentals of microbiology with emphasis on the impact of microorganisms on the human population. Primarily designed for the student entering a health related field. Lab Fee.
