A two-semester sequenced study of the fundamental topics of biology, with an emphasis on organismal biology. The course is designed for science majors and focuses on evolution, taxonomy, and ecology. Prerequisites: BIOL 150 (S) ND:LABSC

A two-semester sequenced study of the fundamental topics of biology, with an emphasis on organismal biology. The course is designed for science majors and utilizes a variety of learning tools to study evolution, taxonomy, and ecology. (S) ND:LABSC

A survey of the animal kingdom, from simple to complex. Major invertebrate and vertebrate animal groups will be covered with emphasis on structure, function, life history characteristics and evolutionary advancements of each. Topics of animal ecology, with emphasis on regional species, concludes the course. Three one-hour lectures per week. Prerequisite: BIOL 150 or BIOL 151. (S-even years) ND:LABSC

 The structure and function of representatives of all major animal groups will be examined. Dissection and use of the microscope will be emphasized. The course will include a field trip to local terrestrial and aquatic habitats. One two-hour lab per week. ND:LABSC

The first semester in the study of structure and function of the human body as an integrated whole. (F, S, Su, O) ND:LABSC

A self-directed laboratory study of structure and functions of the human body that examines the general plan of body cells, tissues, and the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. This course emphasizes actual "hands-on" learning utilizing a variety of learning tools. This is the first semester of a two-semester course. (F, S, Su, O) ND:LABSC

The second semester in the study of structure and function of the human body as an integrated whole. (F, S, Su, O)ND:LABSC

A self-directed laboratory study of structure and functions of the human body that includes the anatomy and physiology of the endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. This course emphasizes actual "hands-on" learning utilizing a variety of learning tools. This is the second semester of a two-semester course. (F, S, Su, O) ND:LABSC
