• BIOL 331: Developmental Biology

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Studies cellular, molecular, and genetic control of embryonic and post-embryonic development. Introduces the principles of cell differentiation, stem cell behavior, and how cell fate decisions are coupled to the morphogenesis of tissues/organs. Emphasizes how the loss of developmental signaling pathways lead to the onset of human disease.

• BIOL 402: Advanced Human Anatomy

  4.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  An intensive study of the gross anatomical structures and their functions within the human body. Explores the organization and integration of the human body on a region-by-region basis. For each region of the body, students observe all structures within that region simultaneously. This approach allows students to appreciate the integration of different biological systems within the body. Laboratory sessions center on regional cadaver dissection by groups of students to appreciate 3-D anatomical relationships.

• BIOL 404: Forest Ecosystem Restoration

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Focuses on applying an understanding of ecosystem disturbance, sound ecological principles, and plant requirements to develop or assess forest restoration plans. Utilizes a combination of formal lecture, student led discussions of the current literature, and field experiences to provide students a broad understanding of forest restoration with an emphasis on regionally important examples. Requires participation in field trip(s).

• BIOL 405: The Biology of the Cell - Critical Thinking

  2.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Introduces the cellular and modular mechanism by which individual cells grow, receive, and respond to internal and external signals and move. Discusses the latest advances in the discipline; students are expected to use current literature on their own as a means of building critical-thinking skills. Emphasizes individual and group activities.
