8 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 1002Discovering Science4
This course is an interdisciplinary course that integrates Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science for non-science majors. Fundamental concepts from each discipline are addressed through lectures, while weekly laboratory activities and discussion groups enable the student to understand how to use science and incorporate science into large societal issues. (3 lect., 3 lab) LSCI
This course is designed to provide a one-semester introduction to biology for non-majors and the first semester of a two-semester sequence for majors and others who wish to explore biology in greater depth. The course begins with a sequence that includes the cell as a fundamental unit of life, membranes, cell specialization and diversity, and cellular chemistry. The energy pathways and cycles making up the processes of photosynthesis and respiration are examined. A major amount of lecture and laboratory time is devoted to the important areas of genetics and evolution. Students earning credit in BIOL 1010 may not earn credit in BIOL 1020. (3 lect., 3 lab) LSCI
This is an introductory course emphasizing fundamental principles of biology, including cell structure and function, genetics, ecology, evolution, and organismal biology. The applications of these principles to societal issues such as the conservation of biodiversity, overpopulation and global environmental changes, biotechnology, and human wellness and disease are also considered. The student earning credit in BIOL 1020 may not earn credit in BIOL 1010. (3 lect., 3 lab) LSCI
This course introduces students to the concepts of environmental science using principles from the fields of biology, ecology, and the physical sciences. The course focuses on themes of sustainability, stewardship and science. Emphasis is placed on the quantitative analysis of the impact of human activities on the environment and will include the topics of natural resource utilization and conservation, biodiversity, water, air and soil quality, and sustainable development. (3 lect., 3 lab)LSCI
This course is intended to provide a global perspective on ecological processes, biodiversity, climate change and the environmental consequences of human actions. Students will develop an awareness of the role of global ecology in international human affairs and how this influences the relationships between the developed and developing worlds.
The Yellowstone ecosystem is the site for this course. Students will learn basic flora and fauna identification, ornithology, meteorology, glaciology, and geology, and examine the aftermath of the 1988 Yellowstone fires. Safety, judgement, leadership, outdoor skills and environmental ethics are stressed. Prerequisite: NOLS permission required. (4 lect.)
This course is a continuation of BIOL 1010. Animal Biology is an integrative course that addresses the evolution, anatomy, physiology, and ecology of animals. This course is intended for the student majoring in the life sciences. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 1010. (3 lect., 3 lab)
