This course lays a foundation on which to build both concepts and skills in biology. We explore genetics, evolution, and ecology, demonstrating within each of these disciplines the importance of diversity in supporting life. Topics include: Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, selection theory and the process of evolution, speciation, and population, community, and global ecology. Emphasis on applications of these topics to current issues related to human health and sustainability. Laboratory work (3 hours per week) consists of authentic research projects that require creating hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing and interpreting data, and making new contributions to science.

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.

Instructor: TBD

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.

While discussions of gender and its social construction have become common in our culture, there is less discussion of whether there are actually binary “biological sexes” that impact those conversations. In addition, while we have made many inclusive efforts in understanding the LGBTQIA+ community, our larger society correlates sexual orientation to biology leaving us to ask: are queer folks born that way and does it stay fixed throughout our lives? This course explores the convergence of sociology and biology in how we define gender, sex, sexual orientation, and sexual behavior as continua instead of binaries as once previously believed. Topics are examined in developmental order from conception to adulthood and include current issues relevant to the LGBTQIA+ community and society at-large. The course also considers these topics in non-human animals to ask ‘what is normal?’ in nature. This will be a BIOL - SOCI crosslisted course.

This course will examine the molecular, cellular, and organismal aspects of the human immune system. The goal is to arrive at a clear, memorable understanding of how the immune system protects us from disease, and what can go wrong when it is either overly active or not active enough. The format will consist of less traditional lecturing and more active learning, supported by the instructor. Classroom periods will involve collaborative and creative work by and among students to collectively improve everyone’s learning and understanding. A significant amount of independent work outside the classroom is also required. This course does not include a laboratory component.  Prerequisite: BIOL101 or 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 363 Immunology.

Our food system is under extreme duress; urbanization, agricultural intensification, and climate change are contributing to an increasingly vulnerable food system. BIOL 4xx - Sustainable Food Systems will help students summarize existing information about our current food system, identify key research gaps, and assess its scalability and sustainability from a biological perspective. The lab (4 hrs per week) will provide students with a variety of independent opportunities to contribute to a more sustainable food system. Prerequisites: At least two BIOL 3xx electives.  Alternative prerequisites may be accepted with the permission of the instructor.

(This seminar, required for all senior Biology of Global Health majors, challenges students to examine the multiple aspects of global health in a unifying manner. In this seminar, students will integrate experiential learning with current research and broad applications of global health and will complete a capstone project focusing on a global health issue. This senior capstone course allows students majoring in Biology of Global Health to analyze specific issues and problems using the knowledge and understanding gained by completing the other required courses in the program. This course does not fulfill the Biology B.A. or Biology B.S. requirement for a 400-level course. Prerequisite: Senior status as a declared Biology of Global Health major.

Modern life is full of a multitude of stressors, and the ways in which our bodies physiologically respond to them are ancient and adaptive. However, these mechanisms meant to protect us in potentially harmful circumstances can also be damaging, especially in cases of chronic stress. We will explore what stress is, the physiological responses to stress in the short- and long-term, and the effects of chronic stress on our health, as well as societal disparities in stress. The first portion of the course will cover basic concepts of stress physiology, and the rest of the course will be discussion of primary literature. Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in BIOL 349, 350, 354, 375, or NSCI 301. Alternative prerequisites may be accepted with the permission of the instructor.
