BIOL 220 - Exercise Science
Credits: Three (3)
Prerequisite: BIOL 101 and BIL 102, or BIOL-117 and BIOL-118
Exercise Physiology is designed to provide students with the current state of knowledge in the physiology of exercise. A systematic approach to how the body responds to exercise will give students with a thorough and critical analysis of the acute physiological responses to exercise and the adaptations that occur with organized exercise training. Basic factual information will be covered with a major emphasis on mechanisms underlying how the different systems of the body respond to exercise stress. General topics that will be discussedinclude bioenergetics and metabolism, measurement of work, power and energy expenditure, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, muscular system, and physiology of training, conditioning, and performance. Lab component is integrated into the course.

BIOL 231 - Conservation Biology
Credits: Three (3)
Prerequisite: BIOL-118
This course will introduce students to the concept that the health of human populations is dependent upon the ecosystems that surround us (in ways we are only beginning to understand). To that end, students will review the fundamental principles of ecology, the economic and political aspects of conservation, and some prominent case studies in conservation biology.

Credits: Four (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL-118, and BIOL-260
Corequisite: BIOL-270L
This course will provide a foundation that students will use to understand (and integrate) all other biological disciplines. The student will gain an understanding of the causes and consequences of organismal change through time. Topics will include the genetic basis of change, change at the population level, phenotypic change within lineages, macroevolutionary change across geologic time scales and the mechanisms of speciation.

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 350 - Introduction to Human Anatomy
Credits: Four (4)
Prerequisite: BIOL-102 or BIOL-115
Corequisite: BIOL-350L
This course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to expand their knowledge of the human body using the human cadaver. A systems approach will provide students with a thorough critical analysis of the following general topics: the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, urinary system, and reproductive system. Basic factual information will be covered with a major emphasis on application of this knowledge through dissection in the laboratory.
