This sequence of courses is begun the first semester of the junior year and progresses for a total of two semesters. The first (301) course is two credits and is graded on the usual letter grade scale. The second course (302) bears no credit and is graded on a pass-fail basis (S/R). The first course (301) is an in-depth investigation of selected current topics in biochemistry designed to develop critical scientific reading, writing, and presenting skills while exploring biochemical primary literature. The subject matter will vary from year to year and will be announced in the annual Class Schedule. The class will meet for one and a half hours once a week with evaluation based upon in-class discussion and quality of written and oral assignments. The second course (302) is a requirement whereby students must attend Biology and Chemistry departmental seminars. Required of all Biochemistry majors. Required of all Biochemistry majors. Prerequisites: CHEM 202, completion or current enrollment in BIOL 209

The purpose of this course is to introduce the structure and function of cells, and how structure and function drives organismal physiology and diversity. By the end of this course, through lecture and laboratory exercises, students should have an understanding of the basic components of cells, how cells and organisms transfer genetic information to future generations, how communication is integral to cellular and organismal function, and how cells and organisms generate and process energy to drive physiological functions. In addition, students will continue to improve skills for scientific inquiry through activities designed to increase familiarity with the scientific literature and science terminology, improve skills to design and critically analyze experiments, foster ability to work with a scientific team, and provide opportunities to improve scientific writing. Any one topic covered in this course has enough material for a course of its own. However, this course will give basic overview of a series of selected topics that are meant to introduce students to the vast field of cellular and organismal biology and the use of biological science in life. Prerequisite: c- or above in BIOL 207 or a C- in any BIOL 100 level course.

Influences of humans on the global environment have reached unprecedented levels, increasing the need for society to strive to live in a sustainable manner. Many issues facing the environment have a biological basis. Thus, an understanding of basic biology is necessary to understand and address many environmental issues. This course will cover the fundamental biology involved with five environmental issues at the global scale: climate change, excessive nutrient loading into ecosystems, agricultural production, chemical contaminants, and loss of biodiversity. Specific biological principles to be covered include energy and nutrient mass balance by organisms and ecosystems, homeostasis and organismal physiology, and population dynamics and conservation biology. Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 207 or BIOL 208 or any 100 level GEOL or CHEM 112 or CHEM 115 or permission of the instructor.

Influences of humans on the global environment have reached unprecedented levels, increasing the need for society to strive to live in a sustainable manner. Many issues facing the environment have a biological basis. Thus, an understanding of basic biology is necessary to understand and address many environmental issues. This course will cover the fundamental biology involved with five environmental issues at the global scale: climate change, excessive nutrient loading into ecosystems, agricultural production, chemical contaminants, and loss of biodiversity. Specific biological principles to be covered include energy and nutrient mass balance by organisms and ecosystems, homeostasis and organismal physiology, and population dynamics and conservation biology.

This class will explore the biological basis for how wounds and physical injuries heal, along with how the healing process can be improved and accelerated via medical technology. We will investigate a broad range of topics which will help us review fundamental molecular and cellular biology concepts, learn about the healing capacities of our own bodies, and strive for an overall sense of how this complex process is orchestrated. Students will read primary literature, analyze data, work collaboratively and creatively, explore widely, and present on topics of personal interest. Prerequisite: C- or above in both BIOL 208 and CHEM 111 or CHEM 115.

This course is a classroom-based introduction to neurobiology, with special emphasis on exploring the molecular, cellular and systems aspects of neurons and neural circuitry. We will look at the anatomy and physiology of nerve cells, the mechanisms that underlie neural function, and how these mechanisms allow organisms to function in their environment. Topics will include the ionic basis for neuronal signaling, neurotransmitters and synaptic function, how information is encoded and transmitted by neural tissues, and neural mechanisms that serve as the basis for sensation, learning and memory. Prerequisite: BIOL101 BIOL102 or BIOL105 or BIOL207, BIOL208 and a minimum grade of C- in BIOL209. Credit will not be given for both this course and BIOL 354.

This course provides an introduction to the microscopic anatomy of cells, tissues, and major organs that constitute the mammalian organism. The animal body is composed of a vast diversity of cell types, which are in turn organized into tissues and organs that carry out the complex functions of life. Microscopic anatomy is the study of the cellular architecture of tissues and provides deep insights into the workings of the body. Emphasis is placed on structural-functional correlates at both the light and electron microscopic levels. Students also will explore alterations in normal histology through disease or injury to provide an understanding of the etiology of various disease states. Prerequisite: minimum grade of C- in BIOL208. Credit will not be given for both this course and BIOL 353 Microscopic Anatomy.
