BIOL 316 - General Microbiology
Credits: Four (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL 260
Corequisite: BIOL-316L
Though invisible to the naked eye, microbes are all around us and play a vital role in biotechnology, agriculture, human health and in the health of the ecosystem that sustains us. Some microbes are detrimental to human health, while others help us digest food and protect us from harmful microbes. In this course, students will gain an appreciation of the vast biodiversity represented by ‘microbes’ (e.g. single celled eukaryotes, prokaryotes, fungi, protists and viruses), and learn the details of microbial growth and metabolism. Laboratory exercises will focus on the identification of different microbe and techniques for culturing microorganisms.

BIOL 381 - Ornithology
Credits: Four (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL-118, BIOL-260, and BIOL-270
Corequisite: BIOL-381L
Birds are a charismatic, highly visible model for biological study. This course will provide students with tangible examples of the principles that they have learned (or will learn) in other classes, including, physiology, ecology, evolution and conservation. Students will also gain valuable experience with field biology by learning the songs and field identification of the birds of Missouri.
