Formerly BIOL 1116Students from a variety of backgrounds are introduced to biology and how it relates to humans, as well as issues of social importance in today's world. Through lectures and laboratories, students acquire theoretical knowledge and participate in practical demonstrations of...

Students majoring in science are introduced to cell and molecular biology with a strong emphasis on evolution. Through lectures and laboratories, students acquire the theoretical background and hands-on skills necessary to succeed in upper level biology courses. Topics of study include physical and...

In this course, students pay special attention to environmental ecology, specifically human populations and their interactions with the environment. Students actively engage with content that is topical and at times controversial. This course is open to all students and is ideal for those in non...

An introduction to human biology that covers the structure and function of cells, tissues, and selected human organ systems. Other topics include basic chemistry and microbiology.Students will receive credit for only one of BIOL 1111, 1116, or 1175.

An introduction to human structures and functions emphasizing basic physiology principles plus cell and tissue structure. Laboratory exercises will demonstrate underlying physiological processes.Prerequisite(s): One of the following: LET 3 (or LPI equivalent); LEAP 8; a minimum "C+" grade in BC...

A systems approach to the anatomy and the human body's normal function and maintenance, applying the material studied in BIOL 1190: Health Science I. Laboratory work will include gross and microscopic human anatomy plus physiological assessment of body function.Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C" grade...

Students majoring in science are introduced to organismal biology with a strong emphasis on ecology and evolution. Through lectures and laboratories, students acquire the theoretical background and hands-on skills necessary to succeed in upper level biology courses. Topics of study include...

After developing a foundation in ecological theory, students examine issues in conservation biology, the scientific discipline that focuses on protecting species negatively impacted by human activities. Students engage with major topics, including loss of biodiversity, habitat fragmentation...

Students taking BIOL 2440 or 2450 must also register in BIOL 2105. The field school is located out-of-town (usually Bamfield Marine Station) and is three to four days long (includes a Saturday and Sunday). This course has a separate fee to cover the additional costs of running an off-campus course.

This course is the first of a series of three on human disease. Participants will have an opportunity to develop a knowledge base in pathophysiology. It focuses on general principles and mechanisms which are then applied to a system by system survey of disease conditions. This course begins with an...
