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.

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...

With an emphasis on problem-solving, students explore genetics including mitosis and meiosis, Mendelian genetics, modified Mendelian ratios, sex-linkage, linked genes and chromosome mapping, variations in chromosome number, and quantitative and population genetics. Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C"...

A general microbiology course designed for students majoring in the biological sciences. Students explore the biology of prokaryotic microorganisms. This includes cell structure, growth, metabolism, gene expression and the mechanisms of genetic variation. Practical aspects include aseptic technique...

Ecology explores the complex relationships between organisms and their environment. Students first develop a foundation in ecological theory, and then apply this theory and quantitative methods to contemporary ecological problems. In the lab, students acquire local natural history knowledge and test...

Cell biology focuses on the study of cell structure from the molecular level to the whole cell. Students learn the components of the cell and how these components form and function. Students also explore some of the common methods and tools used in cell biology.Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C+" grade...

Students examine the invertebrates, including their origins, classification, anatomy, and ecology, and participate in a field trip to a regional research station. Prerequisite(s): A minimum "C" grade in both BIOL 1115 and 1215; or permission of the instructor. Corequisite(s): BIOL 2105.
