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 1000Principles of Biology4
This course is a survey of the foundational principles of biology with special emphasis on the physical sciences as they relate to life. The four units of study in this course are 1) The Chemistry of Life, 2) The Molecular Basis of Energy Transfer, 3) DNA and Reproduction, and 4) Evolution and the Diversity of Life. This course is intended to offer the student a multidisciplinary perspective of the biological sciences that includes chemistry, physics, and earth sciences. This course fulfills the general education requirements for a laboratory science degree at Western Wyoming Community College. Credit will not be received for BIOL 1000 and also BIOL 1003 or BIOL 1010.
This course will focus on current issues in biology. In doing so, other fields of science will be integrated, including chemistry, physics, and earth science. This course will highlight the interdisciplinary nature of science, combining content from both the physical and life sciences. Topics will be dealt with in-depth in lectures, laboratory, and discussion formats. Fundamental principles of biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science will be demonstrated and discussed, as well as where they fit into the issue at hand. The course will also address the process of science and the connections between science and society. Credit will not be received for BIOL 1003 and also BIOL 1000 or BIOL 1010.
This is a survey of the basic principles of biology. Included are units on scientific methodology, cell biology and metabolism, genetics, evolution, and ecology. Credit will not be received for BIOL 1010 and BIOL 1000 or BIOL 1003.
MATH 0900 or higher (C or better), or ACT Math score of 16 or higher, or ALEKS score of 14 or higher.

BIOL 1390Intro to Science Research I1-4
This course provides the student with an introduction to concepts utilized in a biological research environment. Students will read scientific literature, perform computer-based literature searches, perform experimental design and data collection, perform statistical analyses, and write a scientific paper. In addition, if the quality of the research project is adequate, students may have the opportunity to present their work at a scientific conference.
This course provides an understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Covered topics include major themes in anatomy & physiology, homeostasis, cells, tissues, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system, nervous tissue, nervous system, and the endocrine system.
This course provides an understanding of the structure and function of the human body. Covered topics include the cardiovascular system, lymphatic and immune system, respiratory system, urinary system, digestive system, metabolism, and reproductive systems.
Animal Biology is an integrative course that addresses the evolution, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and ecology of animals. The course surveys major animal phyla and is intended for students majoring in life sciences.
This course builds upon central themes in biology presented in BIOL 1010, including cell and molecular biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology. These themes will be presented in an integrated fashion but will focus on the structure, function, and biology of plants and fungi.
This course is a continuation of Introduction to Science Research I. It allows motivated students to continue to perform scientific research at a higher level than Science Research I. Students in Science Research II will be in class with Science Research I students but will be expected to be more self-sufficient in all aspects of research (for example, designing experiments, collecting data, analyzing results, and writing scientific literature). Students are also expected to provide leadership for a small group of Science Research I students, being a “project leader” for an experiment.
This course is an introduction to ecological thought and principles. This course considers man’s influence on nature as well as nature’s influence on man. Offered: Even Spring Semesters
A field and laboratory course. It introduces methods used in plant and animal ecology. The focus of the course is on learning methods and techniques used by ecologists in the lab and field. Another focus of the course is learning to prepare scientific manuscripts that result from the data collected in the course. Offered: Even Spring Semesters
