Course designed to give students an understanding of the principles of Biology, while focusing on the nature and activities of living organisms. Course primarily for non-science majors.

Two hours of laboratory weekly which provides hands on activities that develop basic laboratory skills while reinforcing basic concepts in biology. Dissection exercises may be a component of this course.

A basic anatomy and physiology survey course for students in allied health fields. The curriculum provides a brief introduction to physiological chemistry and physics, a study of basic cell biology, and a survey of human anatomy and physiology through the study of each organ system. Selected topics of pathology are introduced as appropriate to the audience. This course is not a substitute for anatomy and physiology I (BSC2085) and anatomy and physiology II (BSC 2086). Students who have successfully completed anatomy and physiology I (BSC 2085) or anatomy and physiology II (BSC 2086) with a grade of C or better may not enroll in BSC 1084. Additionally, BSC 1084 cannot be used as a substitute for BSC 2085 or BSC 2086, when required for a specific program of study.

This course is designated to introduce non-science major students to the physical, chemical, and biological features of the world ocean and the main groups of living marine organisms that inhabit it. Basic marine ecology will be included.

This course is the first of a two-semester sequence introducing science majors to biological principles including cell structure, function, communication, reproduction, biochemistry and metabolism, classical and molecular genetics, and genetic engineering. Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to explain the methods of science, describe the characteristics of life, describe structure, function, and communication of cells, distinguish mitosis and meiosis, describe cell energetics, photosynthesis and respiration, solve genetics problems, and describe major advances in genetic engineering. Three hours lecture per week.

This laboratory course is the first of a two- course sequence introducing science majors to biological principles including cell structure and function, cell reproduction, biochemistry and cell metabolism, classical and molecular genetics, and genetic engineering. Three hours laboratory per week.

This course is the second of a two-course sequence introducing science majors to biological principles including a study of the diversity of organisms, evolution and population dynamics, and ecology. Three hours lecture per week.

This course is the second of a two-course sequence introducing science majors to biological principles including a study of the diversity of organisms, evolution and population dynamics, and ecology. Dissection exercises included. Special fee charged.

A survey of the structure, function, and chemistry of the human body considering the following topics: chemistry, body organization, the cell, tissues, membranes, glands, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, the nervous system, and the special senses. 3 hours of lecture per week. CHM 1032, CHM 1040, or CHM 1045 is very strongly recommended (see your program requirements).

CHM1032, CHM1040, or CHM1045 is strongly recommended. The laboratory relates to BSC2085 lecture course.

A continuation of the Anatomy and Physiology sequence, including the following topics; the circulatory system, the respiratory system, the digestive System, the urinary system, fluid and electrolytes and the reproductive System. CHM 1032, CHM 1040, or CHM 1045 is very strongly recommended (see your program requirements). 3 hours of lecture per week.

Laboratory experiments coordinated with BSC1086, including microscope observation, study of anatomical models and dissection. Dissection exercises included.

This lecture based course provides an introduction to concepts and principles associated with current accepted biotechnological practices in the areas of laboratory safety cell culture techniques, laboratory skills (measurements and calculations), preparation of solutions, use of various instruments and microscopy. In addition, methods of DNA extraction, amplification, gene cloning," nucleic acid and protein electrophoresis and DNA finger printing will be covered.

This laboratory course provides hands-on experience in basic and common biotechnology laboratory techniques in the areas of laboratory safety, culture techniques, laboratory skills (measurements and calculations preparations of solutions, use of various laboratory instruments), and microscopy. In addition, methods in DNA extraction and amplification, gene cloning, nucleic acids, and protein electrophoresis and fingerprinting will be demonstrated.

Students (individually or in a group) will conduct research projects or certain aspects of research projects under the supervision of the instructor. This course is intended to help students acquire skills in applying research principles and obtaining practice in rigorous data collection and reporting. Hours may vary. Permission of Instructor Required.

A course designed to provide training in a students field of study through work experience. Students are graded on the basis of documentation of learning acquired as reported by student and employer. Requires Departmental permission.

Introduces students interested in scientific research to various techniques and software important for data processing and presentation of research data. Students learn to effectively present research to the general public and to the scientific community in written form, such as research proposals, conference presentations, seminars and publications.
