This course is a study of the structure and functions of the human body at the tissue, organ, and system level. Laboratory work includes: investigative laboratory experiments, histological examinations, specific organ dissections, and whole specimen dissections of a fetal pig and rat that investigate all body systems concurrently.
A study of biology with an emphasis on ecological, genetic, and evolutionary concepts. Topics such as disruption of ecosystems, human population growth, world food and energy shortages, human disease, and genetic engineering will be examined and discussed. Intended for non-science majors outside the Natural Science Division. The course includes 2 hours of lab work each week.
An introduction to the study of biology with an emphasis on genetic, ecological, and evolutionary concepts. The course includes 2 hours laboratory experience each week.
A study of the major taxonomic groupings of plants and animals using an evolutionary approach followed by an in-depth study of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the physiological processes responsible for control and integration in both plants and animals. The course includes 3 hours laboratory experience each week.
A study of the structure of the human body at the tissue, organ, and system level. Laboratory work includes dissection and histological studies.
This introductory course will integrate concepts and material from several disciplines to analyze and evaluate current environmental problems, study specific pollutants, and evaluate consequences of their continued production. A modern and holistic approach is designed to meet both the needs of non-majors with a serious concern about environmental issues and the needs of students who intend to pursue career objectives in environmental science or ecology. The course includes 2 hours of laboratory work each week.
