Courses with laboratory available for Biology area
requirement
Biology majors must eventually complete at least one course
with laboratory in each of the three area categories listed below.
Subcellular and Cellular
Biology
- BIO 3455 Histology
- BIO 3595 General Microbiology
- BIO 4105 Bacterial Pathogens
- BIO 4505 Molecular Biology
Organismal Biology
- BIO 3055 Animal Physiology
- BIO 3155 Comparative Anatomy
Population Biology and
Evolution
- BIO 3485 Marine Biology
- BIO 4305 Evolution
Courses with available
for Writing Enriched and A & S Research requirement
Currently, all courses in
Biology that fulfill one of these requirements also fulfill the other. Biology
majors must eventually complete at least two such courses, including one
before the end of their Junior year.
- BIO 4105 Bacterial Pathogens
- BIO 4505 Molecular Biology
- BIO 3485 Marine Biology
- BIO 4305 Evolution
- BIO 6950 - 001 Advanced Topics: Stem Cells (this
section of BIO 6950 only; does not count for Biology area requirement)
Sections available to
fulfill the Senior Seminar requirement
Each Biology major must
complete one section of a course counting for Senior Seminar.
- BIO 5100 - 001 Senior Thesis (Dr. Russo; must
co-register for BIO 6409 or HON 6002)
- BIO 5100 - 002 Vaccines & Immunity (Dr. Bamezai)
- BIO 5100 - 003 Herbal Medicines (Dr. Orkwiszewski)
- BIO 5100 - 004 Cancer Chromosomes (Dr. Knepper)
- BIO 5100 - 005 Forensic Anthropology (Dr. Zimmerman)
- BIO 6950 - 001 Advanced Topics: Stem Cells (this
section of BIO 6950 only)
Graduate Biology courses,
open to qualified undergraduates
For all
of the courses listed below, consult the instructor(s) about prerequisites and
permission. (Note: BIO 7960 Advanced Topics: Stems Cells is the graduate course
number for the same class as BIO 6950-001. Undergraduates should register for
BIO 6950-001.)
