Teamwork and laboratory activities keep the student moving and thinking while studying the chemistry of life. Offered Fall and Spring semester, annually.
CHEM 151 - CHEM 152 , and MATH 120 Description: Organism data is used to understand evolutionary relationships. Field ecologists collect ranges of species samples and specimens. This work is crucial for learning how and where new infections and invasive species evolve. Applied molecular biology is studied and practiced. One to three field trips are required. Offered Fall semester, annually and as needed.
BIOL 303 and BIOL 304 Description: This course covers the importance of biodiversity, the existence of a wide variety of plant and animal species in their natural environment, and the causes and consequences of its reduction and the efforts at prevention of its loss.
