Classes

  • BIOL 117: Gen Biol - Cells,Genetics,Evol

    An introductory course in the biological sciences covering cells, information coding and transfer, evolution, and diversity of unicellular organisms. This course will emphasize examples from both the plant and animal kingdoms using an integrated approach. Counts for general education only when taken with BIOL 118. Intended for science majors and other well-prepared students.

  • BIOL 118: General Biology Laboratory I

    An introductory experience which develops laboratory and analytical skills in the biological sciences. Students will learn data collection and analysis, written communication, and basic laboratory skills.

  • BIOL 335: Foundations of Biochemistry

    This course will introduce the principles of biochemistry to students who have a strong interest in biology. The course is a one semester survey of the chemistry of living organisms that will focus on metabolic regulation and pathway integration. It will also incorporate elements of molecular evolution as it relates to protein structure/function.
