(3-2-4) Prerequisites: BIOL 1107 and BIOL 1107L, both with a grade of C or higher. A study of inheritance, including Mendelian genetics, chromosomal inheritance patterns, DNA structure and gene expression, and population genetics. The lab will consist of modeling activities, solving problem sets and some experimental molecular genetics techniques.Additional laboratory fee required; see semester course schedule for amount. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.

(3-2-4) Prerequisite: Grade of C or higher in BIOL 1100 and BIOL 1100L, or BIOL 1107 and BIOL 1107L, or CHEM 1151 and CHEM 1151L, or CHEM 1151K. This integrated lecture and laboratory course is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed to explore the biological and chemical processes underlying the structure and function of the human body at the cellular, tissue, organ, and whole-body level. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, biological chemistry; cellular structure and function; tissues; and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. This course includes laboratory exercises that supplement the material covered in lectures. This course is designed primarily for non-biology majors, especially those pursuing majors in nursing and the allied health professions. Additional laboratory fee required; see semester course schedule for amount. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.

(3-2-4) Prerequisite: BIOL 2160 with a grade of C or better. This integrated lecture and laboratory course is the second course in a two-semester sequence designed to explore the biological and chemical processes underlying the structure and function of the human body at the cellular, tissue, organ, and whole-body level. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the cardiovascular, endocrine, lymphatic and immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. Metabolism and fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance will also be covered. This course includes laboratory exercises that supplement the material covered in lectures. This course is designed primarily for non-biology majors, especially those pursuing majors in nursing and the allied health professions. Additional laboratory fee required; see semester course schedule for amount. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.

(3-2-4) Prerequisite: BIOL 1100 and 1100L, or BIOL 1107 and 1107L, or CHEM 1151 and 1151L, or CHEM 1151K with a grade of C or better. This integrated lecture and laboratory course provides an introduction to microbiology. This course introduces the student to the diversity and classification of medically significant microorganisms, their modes of pathogenesis and transmission, and the infectious diseases they cause. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, microbial cell biology and genetics; major classes of disease-causing microorganisms; host immune response; microbial control; aseptic technique; disinfection; and isolation, culture, staining, and identification of microorganisms. Select laboratory exercises will provide training in the basic laboratory techniques for culture and identification of microbes. This course is designed primarily for non-biology majors, especially those pursuing majors in nursing and the allied health professions. Additional laboratory fee required; see semester course schedule for amount. This is a HOPE and Zell Miller STEM course.

(3-2-4) Prerequisites: BIOL 1107, BIOL 1107L, BIOL 1108, and BIOL 1108L, all with a grade of C or higher. The study of the interrelationships of organisms with their physical and biological environment. Topics include population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels of organization. Focus on scientific writing and data analysis. Additional laboratory fee required; see semester course schedule for amount.

(VAR 0-4) Prerequisite: Approval of Instructor. Individual or small group research project in the area of the instructor's expertise. This course is repeatable for credit.
