Participation in biological research under the direction of a faculty mentor in Biology or a related field. A research contract signed by the student and faculty mentor must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Biology. Offered pass/fail only.
The course introduces fundamental microbiological principles and techniques. Emphasis is placed on the interactions between humans and microorganisms, especially bacteria and viruses, the use of antimicrobial agents, microbial antibiotic resistance, and the structural, functional, and evolutionary relationships among microorganisms.

This introductory course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding, at the physiological, cellular, and molecular levels, of how the nervous system functions to create behavior. It will also introduce students to the consequences of abnormal system functioning brought about by either disease or injury. Prereq: BIO 152 or equivalent or permission of instructor.
This course covers topics in evolution, concentrating on the Darwinian theories of evolution including descent with modification, natural selection, and sexual selection. Topics will include: patterns of evolution, the genetic source of variation, measuring evolution, adaptation, speciation, human evolution, "evo-devo", and evolutionary medicine. Taught on campus (lecture, three hours; recitation, three hours) or online. Prereq: BIO 148, BIO 152 and BIO 155 or equivalent.
