37 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.
An exploration of biological requirements for life and theories of the origins of life. Offered during the summer only.

A study of the basic human structure, its division into various functional systems, and how they integrate with each other. The laboratory covers the histological and physiological aspects of selected human systems. This course does not count as a Credit in both BIO 249 and BIO 240 are not allowed. Lectures: Three hours a week. Laboratory: Two hours a week. Prerequisite: BIO 143 or equivalent.
A detailed study of the structure, organization, physiological activities, and evolution of plant and animal cells. Lectures: three hours a week. Laboratory: three hours a week.
: 4.00 credit hours The relationships between organisms and their environment. Emphasis on the climatic, edaphic, physiographic, biotic principles involved and developing student research skills. Lectures: three hours a week. Laboratory: four hours a week. Field trips and student projects are included in the laboratory.
This is the second course in a two-semester sequence that provides a comprehensive study of the organization of the human body and the physiology of body processes. Cellular biology, histology, lymphatic, circulatory, reproductive, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems are studied. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on the interrelationship between structure and function and on the processes that maintain homeostasis, including deviations resulting in homeostatic imbalances. BIO 240 will not serve as a Lectures: Three hours a week. Laboratory: Two hours a week.
Study of the biology of the major groups of animals with an emphasis on morphology, taxonomy, diversity, and physiology. Lecture: 3 hours per week. Laboratory: 3 hours per week. Prerequisites: BIO 143 and 144
A study of the morphology, physiology, heredity, evolution and introductory taxonomy of plants. Lectures: three hours a week. Laboratory: Four Hours a week
BIO 249 is the first course in a two-semester sequence that provides a comprehensive study of the organization of the human body and the physiology of body processes. Cellular biology, histology, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine systems are covered. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on the interrelationship between structure and function and on the processes that maintain homeostatic, including deviations resulting in homeostatic imbalances. This comprehensive course holds both lecture and laboratory component. Students must be Sophomore standing. Credit in Both BIO 249 and BIO 240 are not allowed. Lecture: Three Hours a week. Laboratory: Two hours a week.
Laboratory course(s) to accompany Biology 333-334. Four hours of laboratory work a week.
BIO 334 Biochemistry II Three credit hours A continuation of BIO 333. Lectures: three hours a week.
This course introduces students to DNA structure and replication, genetic code and human genome project, genome sequence acquisition and sequence analysis, pair wise and multiple sequence alignments, database searches, and some case studies. The students will be able to analyze, develop and implement tools that enable efficient access and management of different types of information and will be able to use UNIX, and PERL for pattern recognition and searches.
An introduction to parasites of medical importance that cause human disease throughout the world. Discussion of general aspects of parasitology, taxonomy, morphology, life cycles, pathogenesis, and host- parasite relationships of the major parasitic eukaryotes. Parasites of significant medical/veterinary importance and fundamental mechanism behavior, diagnosis, epidemiology, and control strategies will be emphasized. Lecture: Three Hours a week.
s Population Biology
Basic concepts of transmission, population and evolutionary genetics. 94 Emphasizes human disease inheritance and the statistical analysis of evolutionary genetic change. Lectures: Three hours a week. Laboratory: Three hours a week.
An introduction to the study of microorganisms. Special emphasis on their relationship to man. Organic Chemistry recommended. Lectures: Two hours a week. Laboratory: Three hours a week.
An introduction to medical terminology, designed to increase familiarity with medical terms while reviewing basic anatomy and physiology, learning root words, and learning to analyze unknown words.
Hours This course is designed for students with an interest in tropical diseases, their etiology and control. Emerging and Re- emerging tropical diseases of significant importance and fundamental mechanisms like pathogenesis, diagnosis, epidemiology, and control strategies will be discussed. departmental approval.
Laboratory investigation designed to allow the student to become more actively involved in biological research either by participating in faculty designed projects or by pursuing individual interests approved by the Department Chair. Progress reports, discussions, and presentation of results are required. Credit for this course can also be earned by outside research in industry, government, or academic settings. Requires a minimum of 80 hours of work time for two credit hours. May be repeated for credit upon approval of the Department Chair; however, a maximum of three hours of BIO 422-430 credit may be applied to the Biology major or minor or General Science major requirements. Cross listed as CHE 422.
Independent or team work in laboratory investigation of some aspect of biology. Progress reports, discussions, and presentation of results are required. Credit for this course can also be earned by outside research in industry, government, or academic settings. Requires a minimum of 120 hours of work time for three credit hours. May be repeated for credit upon approval of the Department Chair; however a maximum of three hours of BIO 422-430 credit may be applied to the Biology major or minor or General Science major requirements.
