This course is a survey of the biology of humankind and its relationship to other living organisms. Humankind's environmental and ecological responsibilities will be considered. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement. This course does not count toward the biology major. Considered foundational in the Biology minor for Educational Majors.

Selected laboratory experiences in introductory biology. One laboratory period. Co-requisite: BIO-100.

Introductory course designed for students not majoring in science or the allied health professions. Human biology provides the student with a general overview of the organization, structure, and function of the major organ systems in the human body in a one semester course. Co-requisite: BIO-102L. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement. Considered an elective in the Biology Minor for Education Majors.

Selected laboratory experiences in human biology, designed to coincide with and complement BIO-102. Co-requisite: BIO-102.

This course provides the student with an introduction to the major diseases of the human condition. Specific aspects of selected hereditary and non-hereditary diseases will be covered including, but not limited to: genetic propensity, major risk factors, incidence in the population, and morbidity and mortality. Prerequisite: None. Co-requisite: BIO105L. This course with its co-requisite laboratory fulfills the general education lab science requirement. Considered an elective in the Biology Minor for Education Majors.

Lab to be taken concurrently with BIO-105 Heredity and Disease. Co-requisite: BIO-105.

This course is an introduction to ecological principles and their relevance to human impact on the natural environment.

This is a course designed for biology majors and non majors to study the contribution of crops to society and society's development. The course will cover cereal crops, legumes, herbs, spice, fibers, medicinal plants, tropical and temperate fruits and nuts. Soil and water conservation will be covered. Emphasis will be on agriculture in developing nations and development policies that affect agriculture, stewardship, the poor and malnourished. Labs will emphasize practical and applied aspects of agriculture and appropriate technology. This course does fulfill the lab science requirement. Considered an elective in the Biology Minor for Education Majors.

A course designed for non-science majors and those interested in teaching science at the elementary school level. Emphasis will be on learning to visually recognize and identify the common flowers, trees, insects, and invertebrates of the Midwest. Taxonomy will include limited scientific nomenclature. The course will include numerous field trips, the use of taxonomic keys, and the collection and preservation of specimens to be used as references in the classroom. This course fulfills the general education lab science requirement. Considered an elective in the Biology Minor for Education Majors.

Forensic Science takes the student into the world of scientific problem solving by creating new "crime scenes" periodically throughout the semester. Students will be expected to observe the scene, collect evidence, formulate possible hypotheses, analyze the evidence with the appropriate analytical techniques, and draw conclusions based on their results. The course is designed to teach students scientific reasoning, data collection, and the confirmation or rejection of possible hypotheses. There is no prerequisite or co-requisite for this course, other than a strong motivation to learn. This course fulfills the general education lab science requirement. Considered an elective in the Biology Minor for Education Majors.
