A study of development in organisms, including both classical, descriptive embryology and contemporary investigations of processes involved in morphogenesis and differentiation. Three hours lecture and 3 hours laboratory/week.
This class examines the natural world and the dynamics that exist between its biotic and abiotic components. Population ecology, community ecology, ecosystem ecology, and applied ecology will be examined in depth. At least two Saturday field trips and one weekend field trip are required, which may include some additional costs. Three hours lecture and 3 hours laboratory/week.
Structure and function of the immune system and some diseases related to the immune system. Laboratory will focus on a group research project. Three hours lecture and 3 hours lab/week.
Cadaver anatomy and dissection for nursing, preprofessional, and physical education students to enhance understanding of anatomy and prepare for work on living humans.
A study of biological systems at the cellular and subcellular levels emphasizing functional aspects such as protein processing and sorting, membrane systems, energy generation in mitochondria and chloroplasts and cell signaling. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory/week.
Basic principles of molecular biology focusing on recombinant DNA methods as applied to a variety of biological questions. Students will learn basic research laboratory skills through a wide range of methods from gel electrophoresis to subcloning. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory/week.
This course is designed to provide an overview regarding the mechanisms of neurobiology in a wide variety of organisms. Students will gain a better understanding of how several neurological processes occur including electrical signaling of nerve cells, synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity, pain, movement, sleep, memory, repair and regeneration. Three hours lecture and 3 hours laboratory/week.
This course is an introduction to GIS (Global Information Systems) in the context of applications that focus on the environment, conservation biology, and ecology. Main topics covered during the semester will include the historical development of GIS technology, its application, and its theoretical background.
