CIS-307
BIO
BIOLOGY
Introductory Biology With Lab 3
> BIO-104
Intended as a beginning-level course for liberal
arts students who are not planning to major in
the sciences. The course includes genetics,
evolution, ecology, plant and animal
reproduction, and biodiversity. Current topics
in life science are covered throughout the
course. Students are offered a variety of
opportunities in laboratory through
investigations, discussion, written expression
and readings.
(2/2/0/0); ASE Code: A
Basic Biological Concepts 3
> BIO-110
Designed for the student with little or no
background in biology or chemistry, or as a
refresher for the student who has not taken
either for many years. Provides a basic
foundation for further course work in the
biological sciences.
(3/0/0/0); ASE Code: B
General Biology I 4
> BIO-112
Serves as an introductory course for biology,
science and health science majors. Principles
of cellular biology and elementary biochemistry
and energy functions are covered; cell division,
DNA/RNA and genetics follow. Evolution
theory completes the work of the semester.
(3/2/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: BIO-110 or BIO-168
or BIO-186
Note: Besides taking a prerequisite course,
proficiency may be demonstrated by a passing
score on the Biology Readiness Exam. Contact
the Test Center for details.

General Biology II 4
> BIO-113
Continues the study of General Biology I
concentrating on organismal biology and
ecology. The evolution and diversity of the
Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia
are covered, followed by a comprehensive
study of ecology. Additional topics include
plant anatomy and physiology, and animal
systems including, but not limited to, nervous,
circulatory, reproductive and immune systems.
(3/2/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: BIO-112
Nutrition 3
> BIO-151
Designed to show the relationship between
sound nutrition and good health. Topics studied
are: energy requirements, carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals,
metabolism, physical exercise, dieting, weight
problems, evaluation of nutritional claims,
vegetarianism, and proper nutrition during
pregnancy and lactation.
(3/0/0/0); ASE Code: A
Note: Does not count as a science course for the
A.A. degree
Human Biology 3
> BIO-154
Examines human form and function and the
relationship of humans to other living things.
Fundamental biological principles as they
apply to the human are explored. This course is
intended for liberal arts students who do not
currently plan to major in the biological or
health sciences.
(3/0/0/0); ASE Code: A
Basic Anatomy and Physiology 3
> BIO-161
Designed for students in the specific health
sciences. An overview of human form and
function presented in a lecture/laboratory
format.
(2/2/0/0); ASE Code: B
Human Anatomy & Phys I w/Lab 4
> BIO-168
Introduces the structure and function of the
human body. Organization at the cellular and
tissue level and selected organ systems are
emphasized. Laboratory activities (which
include computer simulations, dissection, and/
or human specimens) reinforce current
concepts.
(3/2/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: One year of recent
high school biology/chemistry with a grade of B
or higher strongly recommended, or completion
of Basic Biological Concepts or other collegelevel
biology course
Human Anatomy & Phys II w/Lab 4
> BIO-173
Continues the study of human organ systems.
Laboratory activities and dissection, which
includes computer simulations and human
specimens, correspond to structures and
functions investigated.
(3/2/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: BIO-168
Human Anatomy 4
> BIO-177
Covers the gross structure and function of
human body systems. Focuses on function as
it relates to structure through class and
laboratory activities. Laboratory experiences
include cadaver study, human specimens,
dissection and interactive group work.
(3/2/0/0); ASE Code: A
Note: Recommend BIO-110 or recent high school
science class with a grade of B or above
Human Physiology
> BIO-180
4
Examines the physiological processes
associated with human body systems. Topics
include biochemistry, metabolism, hormone
actions, muscular physiology,
neurophysiology, cardiovascular function,
renal function, acid/base/electrolyte regulation,
nutrient absorption, immune response and
reproduction functions. Lab investigates
system physiological responses and
culminates in a research experience.
(3/2/0/0); ASE Code: A; Prereq: BIO-177
Homeostatic Physiology
> BIO-181
3
Designed for advanced Health Sciences
students. This course emphasizes body
systems important to maintaining homeostasis
in the human. Nerve and muscle tissue,
cardiac, respiratory, fluid-electrolyte and
endocrine physiology are addressed.
(3/0/0/0); ASE Code: B; Prereq: BIO-161
Basic Microbiology 1.5
> BIO-182
