BIOL 1305 Living World

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.
3

BIOL 1330 Biology of Food

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.

BIOL 1335 Biology in Science-Fiction

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.
