BIOL 1400 - Evolutionary and Environmental Biology
Three hours lecture. Two hours laboratory per week. Four credit hours.
Evolutionary, ecological, and environmental interrelationships among organisms. Basic biological principles and modern technology form the basis for inquiry and debate. The impact of society upon global biodiversity is examined from competing viewpoints. The role of science in shaping society and the influence of society upon science are evaluated. Students learn through reading, writing, computer simulations, videos, field exercises, and through participation in critical thinking and problem-solving activities.

BIOL 1401 - Science of Biology
Three hours lecture. Two hours laboratory per week. Four credit hours.
The process of science, including observation, evaluation, and predictions, will be applied to the understanding of biological principles. Illustration of the methods of science in the study of major biological concepts, including the cell theory, energy transformation, inheritance, and the theory of evolution. Selected biological systems will be surveyed to compare life forms and to examine related human issues. (ACTS Course Number BIOL 1014)

BIOL 1402 - Biological Concepts I
Three hours lecture. Three hours laboratory per week. Four credit hours.
This course is designed for the well-prepared student who intends to major in the field of biology. It focuses on the principles that unify the science of biology. Students will develop a deep understanding of how scientific principles have been used to demonstrate that all organisms are parts of interacting systems from the molecular to the ecosystem level. The course relies heavily on the molecular and cellular basis of structure and function of organisms.

BIOL 1433 - Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology
Three hours lecture. Three hours laboratory per week. Four credit hours.
This one-semester course is a study of the fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology. Topics include the hierarchy of body structure and organization, physiological processes and basic cellular chemistry. The structures and physiological functions of each body system are studied experimentally and in theory, with emphasis on the contributions that each makes to homeostasis, human health, and disease. Three hours of Lecture and Three Hours of Lab per week. Note that this course may not meet the requirements for Allied Health programs. Please consult the specific program’s requirements. This course cannot be used for credit toward a biology major or minor.
