    An overview of the principles and applications of biological knowledge as they relate to health, medical, agricultural, and ecological issues in contemporary society. The process and methods of scientific inquiry, its resulting technologies, our understanding of the natural world, and the impact of our knowledge and the technologies on our society and environment are examined. An underlying theme is humankind, human form and function, and humankind's relationship to the natural world. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour lab per week. Open to all non-biology majors

    A sequence of two courses. In the first semester, students examine the anatomy and physiology of the support and control systems of the human body: skeletal, muscular, nervous, and endocrine. In the second semester, students examine systems concerned with maintenance: cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. The relationship between structure and function and the concept of homeostasis are emphasized. Attention is given to clinical correlation and application of basic anatomical and physiological facts. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab weekly

    A course designed to provide students with an introduction to the biology of microbes, including a review of the biology and chemistry of cells. Students explore the positive and negative interactions between microorganisms and humans, focusing on their impact on human health. The characteristics and classification of microbes as bacteria, protists, fungi, helminths, viruses, and prions are discussed. rrhe biological basis of clinical activities in infection prevention, control, and treatment is emphasized. rrhe human immune response to fight against infectious disease is introduced. The laboratory portion of the course focuses on aseptic technique, microscopy, diagnostic microbiology, and control of microbial growth
