Study of some basic principles common to all living things such as cellular composition, energetics, inheritance and genetic principles, diversity of life, ecology. This course is intended for students requiring a lab science (may not be used as a credit towards a Biology major or minor) and students must take BIOL 1105 Living World lab as a corequisite.

This course explores the biological stories of food. Students consider the organisms we eat, the people who produce food, the environmental costs of food, and opportunities for sustainable food production. This course may not be counted towards a Biology major or minor.

Science-fiction has extended our awareness of the natural world but often real biology is more amazing than fiction. Science-fiction works will be utilized to initiate critical thinking amongst students about the biological sciences. Students will learn biology from the molecular to the organismal level and use science-fiction as the vehicle to improve their scientific writing. This course may not be counted towards a Biology major or minor.

Study of the fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology. Topics include the hierarchy of body structure and organization and basic biological chemistry. The course is intended for students requiring a lab science but cannot be used as credit towards a biology major or minor. Corequisite: BIOL 1140

This course will explore foundational concepts and processes in biology, including biomolecules, cell structure of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, cell division, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, genetics, and plant processes. Corequisite: BIOL 1150

This course will explore foundational concepts and processes in biology, including biodiversity, evolution, animal systems, and ecology. Prerequisite: BIOL 1350/1150. Corequisite: BIOL 1160.

An introduction to the microbes living in, on, and around us. Microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites will be explored throughout the course. Emphasis will be on microbial characteristics, diversity, and the effects microbes have on us and our environment. This course is intended for students with non-science majors requiring a lab science course. Corequisite: BIOL 1165.
