This course is a continuation of BIOL 10101, and focuses on the normal anatomy and physiology of the human body. The course material is taught from a systemic standpoint and physiological mechanisms are emphasized to provide the students with a basis for future coursework involving the derivation of pathological conditions. Material to be covered includes blood, cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, immune, renal, digestive, and reproductive systems, along with acid-base and fluid balance, and oral and dental applications. This course is for Dental Hygiene students.

A continuation of BIOL 10200, which includes dissection of various mammal organs and the fetal pig. The human body is explored from a systemic approach using both inquiry based labs and computer modeled exercises.

As an introduction to environmental issues, this course covers basic ecology of ecosystems, the effects and consequences of human activity on the environment, and currents laws and policies. Students investigate issues and sustainable solutions. The course is designed for non-science majors and fulfills the General Education requirement.

IAI: L1 905

An introduction to the genetic principles that govern human inheritance, the course emphasizes modern interpretations of genetic laws as they apply to humans. The course is designed for non-science majors and fulfills the General Education requirement.

IAI: L1 906

An introduction to the structure and function of human biology, this course focuses on the role of anatomy and physiology in everyday life. The course is designed for non-science majors and fulfills the General Education requirement.

IAI: L1 904

Students explore the organization of living things, from the molecular level through the organismic levels. Emphasis is placed on the chemistry of life, cell structure and function, energy pathways in respiration and photosynthesis, structure and function of animal organ systems and homeostasis in animals.

This laboratory is designed to allow students to explore scientific principles introduced in the lecture component using an inquiry-based method. Student will perform experiments which examine cell structure and function (prokaryotic and eukaryotic, uni-and multicellular) as well as designing experiments in enzyme kinetics and organ physiology. Concepts such as molarity, percent solutions, and pH/acid-base balance will be reinforced through student-driven experimentation.

An introduction to forensic biology and its relationship to criminal investigations. Students will learn about topics related to crime scenes such as decay, discovery and recovery of human bodies, body fluids, human skeleton, waste products, blood splatter analysis, as well as the role of invertebrates, vertebrates, protists, fungi, plants and microbes in forensics. There will be a review of the significance of blood typing, DNA collection and analysis, skeletal biological profiles, and plant and animal toxins. An emphasis will be placed on the proper collection and preservation of different types of evidence found at crime scenes.

This course is a continuation of BIOL 11000, with emphasis on the reproduction, development, inheritance, evolution, ecology and behavior of biological systems.

In this laboratory course students investigate the cell cycle, gametogenesis, and principles of inheritance including the normal human karyotype and chromosomal disorders. Students survey the microbial world and compare the anatomy and physiology of invertebrates and vertebrates with a focus on evolutionary differences. Students are expected to complete a semester-long investigative project designed to familiarize students with data collection, analysis, and presentation skills.

This is a continuation of PHYS 12000, focusing on the history and origins of life, ecology and the environment, human biology and Mendelian genetics. Emphasis is placed on the integration of these concepts across the physical, chemical and biological disciplines. This course is designed for students requiring a general science class that integrates physics, chemistry, biology and environmental science. This course fulfills the General Education requirement for science.

This is the second semester laboratory component of a two-semester lecture and laboratory sequence in integrated science. Topics investigated in this lab include history and origins of life, ecology and the environment, human biology and Mendelian genetics. Emphasis is placed on the integration of these concepts across the physical, chemical and biological disciplines.

Study of root words, prefixes, and suffixes of the medical vocabulary. Also included are medical abbreviations and applicable symbols. A combination of learning exercises and chapter quizzes are utilized. Emphasis is on application of terminology through the use of chapter objectives, learning exercises, and critical thinking exercises.

The basic principles of cellular structure and function are presented. Students develop an understanding of the molecular basis of life, the cell cycle, and the structure and function of organelles, tissues, organs and organ systems. These principles are studied in the context of the theories of biological evolution. This course is designed for Chemistry and Physics majors with Secondary Education minors and does not fulfill the General Education Science requirement.

This course is designed for Secondary Education minors majoring in either Chemistry or Physics who need some background in the environmental sciences. The course examines the strategies and adaptations used by organisms to obtain the basic requirements of life. It does so in the context of living and non-living factors interacting with one another and their dynamic environment through population, community, ecosystem and ecoregion processes. Emphasized throughout the course is the fact that humans are part of these systems and interact with the environment. This course does not fulfill the General Education Science requirement.

This course is designed for Secondary Education minors majoring in Biology, Chemistry or Physics who need some background in Earth Sciences. Topics include the structure, composition and transfer of energy within and among the Earth's land, water and atmospheric systems. It covers the interrelationships among the Earth's resources and how these relationships are influenced by the physical changes that occur over geologic time. This course does not fulfill the General Education Science requirement.
