Biology

BIOL 112: Unicellular Life

The principles of cell biology using bacteria as examples or unicellular organisms. Cell structure and function, from DNA replication to protein synthesis, with emphasis in genetic engineering applications.

BIOL 121: Biology I

This course is an introduction to our current understanding of genetics, incorporating the most important themes ranging from DNA and gene function, to model organisms and human diseases, and finally the interactions of organisms with their environment through the earth’s history. A strong emphasis is placed on scientific method, hypothesis development and testing, and these will be put to practice in a multi-part lab component.

BIOL 140: Laboratory Investigations in Life Science

Introductory experimental biology focused on experimental design, cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology.

BIOL 150: Human Anatomy & Physiology I

After finishing the course, the student will be able to: explain basic concepts in human biology and physiology. Explain the structure and function of organ systems outlined in the course content. Analyze the interconnection between different organ systems, such as nervous, endocrine, reproductive, muscular and skeletal.

BIOL 151: Human Anatomy & Physiology II

After finishing the course, the student will be able to: Explain basic concepts in human biology and physiology. Explain the structure and function of organ systems outlined in the course content. Analyze the interconnection between different organ systems, such as nervous, endocrine, reproductive, muscular and skeletal.
