33 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 111Introduction to Biological Science3
A course designed to give the non-science major a survey of the fundamental aspects of biology. Emphasis is placed on the human as a model organism. Equal exposure is given to cellular organisms and population biology. There are three (3), 50-minute lectures or two (2) , 1 hour and 15 minutes lectures per week. No lab is associated with the course.
BIO 113 A foundational course designed primarily for the non-biology major who needs to complete a course about the study of life. This course, with the lecture and its accompanying laboratory, are not only ideal for majors who need both course components, but also satisfy the science
BIO 115 The first course designed for Biology majors only. This course will provide fundamental aspects of biology with emphasis on the scientific method, chemistry of life, cellular structures and functions, and genetics. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 125 The second course designed for Biology majors only. This course will provide practical aspects of biology with a survey of higher-level organisms. Emphasis will be placed upon the organismal kingdoms, human body systems, and principles of ecology and evolution. There are three (3) 50- minute lectures per week.
BIO 213 Study of the biology of the major groups of animals with emphasis on morphology, taxonomy, diversity, and physiology. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 212 One (1), 3 hour laboratory session per week that complements BIO 212
BIO 214Current Topics in Biotechnology3
Prerequisite: None This course is designed to provide science and non-science majors an opportunity to learn about current issues in biotechnology that play a role in our society. Emphasis will be placed on the principles and theories of biotechnology, intellectual property protection, forensic analysis, gene therapy, stem cell research and drug discovery. Students will be engaged in analyzing situations related to the biological world. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.

BIO 233 Study of the theories, principles, and concepts of plant life. An evolutionary approach is emphasized. Topics include diversity, taxonomy, morphology, and physiology. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 313 A study of morphology, systematic and phylogenetic relationships with emphasis on the vertebrates, with various theories of comparative anatomical evidence in support of organic evolution. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 324 The study of the physiology of vertebrate organisms, with particular reference to man and the lower animals. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 332 The study of microorganisms, with emphasis on bacteria and viruses. Techniques of sterilization, isolation, identification, and handling of microorganisms are studied. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 353 A general overview of the cell, emphasizing molecular approaches to understanding a cellular structure. Instruction is inquiry-based with extensive use of informational and instructional technology tools. Individual computers in the classroom are utilized to promote student-centered learning and collaborative learning activities through the use of the Internet, digital libraries, CD-ROM, video, and audio multimedia. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 353Introduction to Molecular Cell Biology Laboratory1
BIO 384 This is a continued study of structure and function as related to the endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems. Principles as related to physiology of metabolism, nutrition, body heat regulation, body fluid regulation, human growth and development and heredity are also included. There are three (3), 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 402 The study of the physical basis of inheritance. Topics include genes as units of heredity and development, the qualitative aspects of genetic variation, and the physical and chemical properties of genetic materials. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures per week.
BIO 424 Exploration of the principles that govern the distribution and interaction of populations. Classical theory of a biotic environmental controls is contrasted with contemporary concepts that include competition, predation , and other biotic agents that organize populations and communities. There are three (3) 50-minute lectures, per week.
BIO 432 One (1), 3 hour laboratory session per week that complements BIO 432 .
BIO 480Biology Seminar1
Prerequisite: Junior or Senior status A course designed to expose majors to a broad range of current topics in biology while building research and presentation skills. The class meets once per week for 50 minutes.

BIO 483Senior Capstone Course2
Prerequisite: Senior status A course designed to integrate and assess skills and concepts acquired from the biology undergraduate courses, including classroom-based and experiential components. Comprehension competence of topics will be demonstrated in both written and oral forms by students. Preparation of the Major Field Test in Biology will also be a focus of this course. There are two (2) 50-minute lectures per week.
