Biological SciencesDepartment of Biological SciencesDepartment of Biological Sciences, Boyd Science CenterChair: Leonard R. ReitsmaProfessors: Christopher C. Chabot, Frederick P. PrinceAssociate Professor: Dominick A. MaroccoAssistant Professors: Michele L. Pruyn, Kerry L. YurewiczBiology, Bachelor of Arts122 creditsThe BA program in Biology is a broad overview of the principlesof biology and the functions of biological systems with supportivecourses in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. It can be usedto fulfill the goals of students just interested in biology or thosewho plan to go on to professional programs or graduate degreesin the biological sciences. For the latter case, it should be notedthat some professional/graduate schools require a full yeareach of organic chemistry, physics, and calculus; this programis less restrictive. Thus students should work closely with theiracademic advisor to plan their coursework.Degree RequirementsCreditsBI 1110 Biological Science I (TECO) 4BI 1120 Biological Science II 4BI 3060 Genetics 4BI 3130 Evolution 4BI 3240 Conservation (DICO) (GACO) (INCO) 3BI 4050 Ecology (QRCO) (WRCO) 4BI 4960 Biology Seminar 1Group A – complete two of the following: 8BI 2030 Invertebrate ZoologyBI 2040 Vertebrate ZoologyBI 2070 BotanyBI 2080 Plant MorphologyBI 3040 MicrobiologyGroup B – complete one of the following: 4BI 3100 Biology of the AlgaeBI 3210 Tropical BiologyBI 3250 OrnithologyBI 3260 Freshwater EcologyBI 3270 Marine BiologyBI 4760 Animal Behavior (WRCO)Group C – complete one of the following: 4BI 3020 Biochemistry IBI 4090 Cell Structure and Function (WRCO)BI 4770 Animal Physiology (WRCO)BI 4780 Neurobiology (WRCO)CH 1050 Laboratory Safety 1CH 2130 General Chemistry I (QRCO) (TECO) 3CH 2140 General Chemistry II 3CH 2230 General Chemistry Laboratory I 1CH 2240 General Chemistry Laboratory II 1Physical Science Group – complete four credits: 4CH 3310 Organic Chemistry I andCH 3330 Organic Chemistry Laboratory IES 2100 Physical Geology andES 2110 Physical Geology LaboratoryPH 2130 Physics IPH 2410 University Physics I andPH 2430 University Physics Laboratory IMathematics Foundations – complete one of the following: 4MA 2140 Elementary Functions (MATH)MA 2490 Applied Calculus I (MATH)MA 2550 Calculus I (MATH)General Education:EN 1200 Composition 3IS 1111 The First Year Seminar:critical Thinking and the Nature of Inquiry 3CTDI Creative Thought Directions 6PPDI Past and Present Directions 6SSDI Self and Society Directions 6WECO Wellness Connection 3Foreign Language (GACO) 8Electives 30Total 122Recommended Course SequenceCheck all course descriptions for prerequisites before planningcourse schedule.
