Prerequisite: BSC 1010C. Study of structural organization, classification, physiology, reproduction, heredity and evolution of plants. Includes survey of plant kingdom and comparison of various plant groups. Six hours lecture/lab instruction. (Lab fee)
BSC 1005C - Biological Science
An introduction to essential principles of biological science. Topics include but are not limited to, the nature of science and the scientific method, chemistry for biology, cell structure, metabolism, reproduction and genetics, organisms and ecology. This is a general education course for non-biology majors. It is also recommended for students who need prpareatnion before enrolling in a biology course for science majors. May be used as a pre-requisite for BSC 2093C or MCB 2010C when minimum grades of C has been earned in BSC 1005C. Includes a general biology laboratory that will satisfy the General Education requirement for a laboratory science at many universities.
BSC 1010C - Fundamentals of Biology I
Introduction to fundamental biological principles emphasizing common attributes of all living organisms. Unifying concepts include chemical structure of living matter, structure and function of the cell, specialized cells, major metabolic functions, control systems, reproduction, genetics, evolution and ecology. Prerequisite for advanced biology courses. (Lab fee) BSC1010H, FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOLOGY - HONORS is the same as BSC 1010C with honors content. Honors program permission required. (Lab fee)
BSC 1011C - Fundamentals of Biology II
Prerequisite: BSC1010C. A continuation of BSC1010C. Includes an analysis of biological systems at the organismal and supraorganismal levels: Unity and diversity of life, organismal structure and function. Will examine such topics as: Darwinism, origin of life, diversity and origin of Eukaryotes, evolution and diversity of the five kingdoms; animal and plant morphology, reproduction, development of animal behavior, population biology and ecology. (Lab fee)BSC1011H, FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOLOGY II - HONORS is the same as BSC 1011C with honors content. Honors program permission required. (Lab fee)
BSC 1026 - Biology of Human Sexuality
General, non-lab course designed to introduce students to various biological aspects of human sexuality, including sexual genetics and sex determination, sexual anatomy, physiology and development, processes of fertilization, pregnancy, birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, menstruation, menopause and aging. Other appropriate areas may be discussed when time permits.
BSC 1050 - Environmental Science
General education non-lab course provides understanding of man's interdependence with and responsibility for environment. Investigates such aspects of environment as pollution, urbanization, population trends and changes in lifestyles. Treats present and projected solutions to problems.
BSC 2093C - Human Anatomy and Physiology I
Prerequisite: One year each of high school science laboratory courses in either biology and chemistry or in anatomy and physiology and chemistry or BSC 1005C or BSC 1010C. Structure and function of integumentary, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, and nervous systems, and organs of special sense. Lab exercises emphasize anatomic and physiological principles associated with classroom work. (Lab fee)
BSC 2094C - Human Anatomy and Physiology II
Prerequisite: Completion of BSC2093C with C or better. Continuation of BSC2093C, including endocrine, reproductive, respiratory, digestive and excretory systems with considerable emphasis on biochemistry of metabolic processes and body fluids. (Lab fee)
MCB 2010C - Microbiology
Prerequisite: Satisfactory completion of all mandated courses in reading, mathematics, English, and English for Academic Purposes and a minimum grade of C in:BSC 1005 and BSC 1005L or BSC 1005C or BSC 1010C or BSC 2093C
OCB 2010C Marine Biology
Prerequisite: BSC 1010C or departmental approval. Survey course with lecture and lab. Topics include ocean as environment (currents, tides, water chemistry, etc.); survey of marine animals and plants; and marine ecosystems. Field trips required. (Lab fee)
ZOO 2511 - Behavior of Wild Horses
General education non-lab course designed to introduce students to the study of animal behavior by examining the maintenance behaviors such as feeding, resting, and autogrooming and comparing them to activities shown by other equids like zebras. Students also will study the ecology and management of the horses and the structure and function of social behavior like allogrooming, courtship and mating, dispersal of the young, parturition and nursing, as well as the behavioral development of foals. Students will learn to analyze date and develop explanations to explain the date using information from original journal articles.
