Offered:
-
ABIO 101
Introductory Biology I - Biological principles and
concepts through the cellular level of organization.
Includes the structure and function of biological
macromolecules, energy and metabolism, genetics, and
the structure and function of DNA (Fall semester)

• Research
Courses Offered:
-
ABIO 199
Introduction to Biological Research I - For
freshman and sophomore biology majors who are
interested in conducting biological research. Students
are required to complete a literature review and
generate a proposal for a research project.
-
ABIO 299
Introduction to Biological Research II - For
freshman and sophomore biology majors who have an
interest to conduct biological research. This course
is intended as an extension of ABIO 199 in which
students will implement and complete a research
project.
-
ABIO 399
Independent Study: Biology - For junior and senior
biology majors who are interested in conducting
biological research or who are preparing to begin
their senior research project. Students are required
to complete a literature review and generate a
proposal for a research project. Independent work in
the laboratory will lead to the generation of a
written report of results.
-
ABIO 499
Senior Research - A capstone experience involving
independent scientific research that will culminate in
both written and oral reports of results. In addition,
students are required to complete a literature review
and generate a proposal for the research
project.
