|
| General Botany (Biol 201) |
   |
|
This
majors-level lecture course and the associated laboratory
experience are required for all Biology majors with the exception
of those in the Medical Technology and Cytotechnology programs. The
course takes an evolutionary approach to the study of the basic
biology of plants, including biochemistry, morphology and
physiology. General Botany is generally offered each semester and
may be used by non-Biology majors to partially satisfy the science
requirement, including the necessary laboratory experience, of the
Liberal Studies Program.
|
| Land Plants and Their
Environment (Biol 207) |
|
|
Intended
mainly for non-Biology majors, this course, which includes a
laboratory experience, is a survey of the common terrestrial plants
found in Pennsylvania. This course may be used by non-Biology
majors to partially satisfy the science requirement, including the
necessary laboratory experience, of the Liberal Studies
Program.
|
| Introduction to Wildlife
Management (Biol 208) |
 |
|
This course
and the associated laboratory experience is designed primarily for
non-Biology majors. The course focuses on the basic ecology of
vertebrate animals, emphasizing their classification and life
histories. Introduction to Wildlife Management may be used by
non-Biology majors to partially satisfy the science requirement,
including the necessary laboratory experience, of the Liberal
Studies Program.
|
| Medical Microbiology
(Biol 210) |
 |
|
This course
and the associated laboratory experience are intended mainly for
non-Biology majors such as majors in the Allied Health programs,
but are also required for Biology majors in the Medical Technology
and the Cytotechnology programs. The basic biology of
disease-causing microorganisms including classification, structure
and mechanisms through which these microorganisms cause disease is
discussed. Also covered are the various ways that microorganisms
can be controlled and the role that our immune system plays in
protecting us from disease. Medical Microbiology is generally
offered in the Fall semester and may be used by non-Biology majors
to partially satisfy the science requirement, including the
necessary laboratory experience, of the Liberal Studies
Program.
|
| General Zoology
(Biol 212) |
|
|
This
majors-level lecture course and the associated laboratory
experience are required for all Biology majors with the exception
of those in the Medical Technology and Cytotechnology programs.
General Zoology takes an evolutionary approach to the study of the
basic biology of animals. This course is generally offered each
semester and may be used by non-Biology majors to partially satisfy
the science requirement, including the necessary laboratory
experience, of the Liberal Studies Program.
|
| Medical Immunology
(Biol 213) |
|
|
This
five-week course, which includes both lecture and laboratory
components, is required for Biology majors in the Medical
Technology and Cytotechnology programs. Emphasis is placed on
immunological principles of medical importance. Along with Medical
Parasitology and Medical Mycology, this course is offered each
Spring term.
|
| Medical Parasitology
(Biol 214) |
|
|
This
five-week course, which includes both lecture and laboratory
components, is required for Biology majors in the Medical
Technology and Cytotechnology programs. Emphasis is placed on the
biology and identification of protozoan and metazoan organisms of
medical importance. Along with Medical Immunology and Medical
Mycology, this course is offered each Spring term.
|
| Medical Mycology
(Biol 215) |
|
|
This
five-week course, which includes both lecture and laboratory
components, is required for Biology majors in the Medical
Technology and Cytotechnology programs. Emphasis is placed on the
biology and identification of fungal organisms of medical
importance. Along with Medical Immunology and Medical Parasitology,
this course is offered each Spring term.
|
| Anatomy and Physiology
(Biol 216) |
|
|
Along with
Anatomy and Physiology (Biol 217), this lecture and
laboratory-based course is intended for non-Biology majors in the
Department of Allied Health as well as Biology majors in the
Medical Technology and Cytotechnology programs. Other Biology
majors with an interest in the medical professions often enroll in
this course and/or Biol 217 as an elective to satisfy the entrance
requirements of their chosen post-graduate professional school.
Biol 216 differs from Biol 217 in the body systems emphasized.
Generally offered each semester, non-Biology majors may use Biol
216 to partially satisfy the science requirement, including the
necessary laboratory experience, of the Liberal Studies
Program.

Program.
|
| Genetics (Biol 250) |
|
|
This
lecture course, along with the associated laboratory experience, is
required for all Biology majors, including those in the Medical
Technology and Cytotechnology programs. Emphasis is placed on the
patterns of inheritance, molecular genetics, and population
genetics of both plants and animals. Genetics is typically offered
each semester and may be used by non-Biology majors to partially
satisfy the science requirement, including the necessary laboratory
experience, of the Liberal Studies Program.
