11 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 1004General Biology for Non-Majors4
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. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week. ACTS Department/Number/Title - BIOL 1004 Biology for Non-Majors
A study of the principles of biology. Provides the foundation for other advanced courses in the biological sciences. Includes an in-depth study of fundamental biological concepts including the scientific process, classification, structure and functions, cellular metabolism, evolution, and genetics. Appropriate for biology and health science majors, as well as general education. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week. ACTS Department/Number/Title - BIOL 1014 General Biology
The study of the earth as a habitat. Interrelationships between humans and the environment. Environmental and geological factors in urban, rural, and regional land use. This course is composed of a series of lectures and discussions introducing the topics of environmental science including factors related to population, water, soil, wildlife, forest and air quality. It includes the study of man’s interaction with the environment, the energy crisis, and pollution problems including solid waste, noise, pesticides, radiation, and poisonous substances. Lab required. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week. ACTS/Department/Number/Title - GEOL 1124 Environmental Geology
A scientific study of the principles of botany. Provides the foundation for other advanced courses in the biological sciences. Includes an in-depth study of the properties, structure and function, growth, and classifications of plants. Concepts of plant reproduction, photosynthesis, ecology, and genetics are included. Appropriate for biology majors. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week. ACTS/Department/Title/Number BIOL 1024 Botany for Non Majors
A biology course with a research component. Some labs meet on-campus and others will require travel off-campus to nearby field sites. Through lab, fieldwork, and an overnight field trip, students learn to use ecological research equipment and sampling protocols to answer questions about our environment. Topics include botany, forestry, wildlife (fish, birds, mammals, and invertebrates), water and soil quality, and microbiology. Labs are taught in partnership with local environmental agencies including Boone County Extension and National Park Service. Several labs are devoted to independent research projects. Offered during summer session only. Lecture 2 hours and lab 3 hours per week. Pre/Co-requisites Pre- or co- req: BIOL 1014 or BIOL 1144 or CHEM 1214 or higher.
This course studies the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology of the human body with emphasis on body structure, functions of each body system, and basic chemistry. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week.
Introduction to zoological principles relating to cells, organ systems, development, genetics, ecology, evolution, and animal phyla. Course designed for biology majors, but may also be taken for general education. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week.
BIOL 1004 with a C or higher OR BIOL 1014 with a C or higher. ACTS/Department/Title/Number BIOL 1054 General Zoology
BIOL 2014Microbiology4
Introductory course in microbiology. Includes microbiological concepts including the study of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa as they affect the human body. Designed for majors in health professions programs. In the laboratory, emphasis is on identification and handling of microorganisms. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 3 hours per week.

BIOL 2214Anatomy and Physiology I4
A two-semester study of the structure and functions of the organ systems of the human body and how they work together to maintain homeostasis. This study introduces the anatomy and physiology of the human body with emphasis on body structure and function. Topics covered will include chemical, cellular, and tissue level of organization; integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week.

BIOL 2224Anatomy and Physiology II4
This course studies in detail the anatomy and physiology of the human body with emphasis on body function. Topics covered will be the special senses; endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems; metabolism; fluid-electrolyte and acid-base balance; and genetics. Lecture 3 hours and laboratory 2 hours per week.
