Field trips to local natural areas augmentclass discussion.BI 320 Human Physiology (3 SH)Semester Offered: FallPre-Requisite(s): BI 239This course is a detailed study of the physiological processes ofthe human body, including the function, regulation andintegration of the muscular, skeletal, circulatory, respiratory,digestive, urinary, immune, reproductive and endocrine systems.BI 321 Exercise Physiology (3 SH)Semester Offered: SpringPre-Requisite(s): BI 239This course will cover the physiological response of the humanbody to musculoskeletal activity. In particular, the areas ofbioenergetics, cardiac and respiratory function,thermoregulation, physical conditioning and risk assessment,fitness evaluation and exercise prescription will be covered.BI 330 Evolutionary Biology (3 SH)Semester Offered: FallPre-Requisite(s): BI 101/BI 101L, BI 102/BI 102L or by permissionof instructorEvolutionary biology explores the principles and mechanisms oforganic evolution and the lines of evidence for evolution. Topicscovered include genetics, selection, adaptation, speciation,coevolution, life history strategies and the fossil record. Emphasiswill be on understanding the broad concepts critical to evolutionas the unifying theme of modern biology. The structure of thecourse includes lectures, written assignments, comprehensiveexams and class discussion.BI 301L Genetics Lab (1 SH)Semester Offered: SpringBI 333 Animal Behavior (4 SH)Concurrent Requisite(s): BI 301Semester Offered: Fall of Odd YearsScheduled exercises and activities are designed to provide the Pre-Requisite(s): BI 101 and one 200 level coursestudent with hands-on experience with selected topics from BI A course designed to introduce the student to the basic concepts301.in the structure, development, ecology and evolution of behaviorin a wide range of animals.
