Biology

  
  • BIOL 1000 - Introduction to Biology I


    (3L,3LB,4CR) [SB] A study of the cell as the unit of life, the chemistry of life, and an overview of the functioning of organs and organ systems of vertebrates. General biological principles such as genetics, homeostasis, and structure/function relationships are emphasized. This course is appropriate for biology and biology-related majors, especially those pursuing health-related degrees such as nursing, medical technology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, etc. It also fulfills the laboratory science requirements of such majors as education, social and behavioral sciences, humanistic studies, English, etc. Biology at the high school level is desirable but not required.

  
  • BIOL 1010 - General Biology I


    (3L,3LB,4CR) [E][SB] Fundamental concepts including basic chemistry, cell structures and functions, tissues, energy reactions, genetics, molecular biology, population dynamics, and evolutionary theory. Designed for life science majors and preprofessional life science curricula. It is anticipated that students have had one year of high school biology.

  
  • BIOL 1020 - Life Science


    (3L,3LB,4CR) [E] [SB] Life Science is an introductory course emphasizing 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. This course fulfills a laboratory science requirement for non-biology majors such as those in the social and behavioral sciences, humanistic studies, etc.

    This course is a requirement of elementary education majors and should be taken prior to or concurrently with EDCI 1430 .
