Forensic Science One semester elective. This advanced-level life science course provides an integrated study of human structure and function. It covers cells and tissues, as well as the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine systems. The laboratory component stresses demonstrations of physiological principles, often in the context of exercise physiology. Ecology One-semester elective.
Ecology introduces students to an interdisciplinary field science in a project-oriented format.
Students will employ concepts from Biology, Environmental Science and Chemistry as they design, execute and evaluate semester-long studies on one of the multitude of environments found on or near the campus. In conjunction with the lecture component of the course, students will monitor study sites which represent ongoing investigations utilizing classical ecological techniques to measure environmental changes over time. Evaluation of performance will be made via laboratory manual and a formal research write-up of the individual project. Lecture material, readings from the text and periodical sources shall be evaluated in weekly essays. In this non-laboratory science course students will explore, synthesize and evaluate seminal developments in the realm of modern science.
