Courses Previously Taught or Currently Teaching

BI 111 Introduction to Biology I (3 Credit Hours)

• A study of the principles and fundamental concepts on which the science of life is based.

BI 112 Introduction to Biology II (3 Credit Hours)

• A continuation of BI 111. Emphasis is placed on evolution and ecology, the physiological processes and the origin and classification of life.

BI 121 General Zoology (3 Credit Hours)

• This course studies a diversity of animal life as well as the taxonomy, behavior, and ecology of the invertebrate animal phyla with an emphasis on adaptations that enable animals to inhabit so many ecological niches.

BI 121 L General Zoology Lab (1 Credit Hours)

• The zoology laboratory is designed to guide the students in a practical approach to understanding the concepts and systems of animals. The students dissect the representative animals from the phyla studied in the course.

• This course deals with a comparative study of structural, functional, and evolutionary aspects of various vertebrate groups.

BI 215 L Comparative Anatomy Lab (1 Credit Hours)

• It involves the dissection of the dogfish shark; comparative study of the anatomy of; frog, cat, and human skeletal system, and the dissection of the cat.

BIOL 2401 Anatomy and Physiology I (4 Credit Hours)

• This is a study of the structure and function of the human body including cells, tissues, and organs of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems.

BIOL 2402 Anatomy and Physiology II (4 Credit Hours)

• This is a continuation of the study of the structure and function of the human body including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive, and endocrine systems. Consideration is given to metabolism, electrolyte and fluid balance, and human development.

BI 335 Human Anatomy and Physiology I (3 Credit Hours)

• A study of structural aspects of the human body-gross and microscopic; cell contents, organization of structures, cells, tissues, organs, and systems; location and relationship of parts.

BI 335L Human Anatomy and Physiology I Lab (1 Credit Hours)

• This laboratory accompanies BI 335 and should be taken in the same semester. It will emphasize laboratory applications of lecture concepts studied in BI 335. Co-requisite: BI 335..

BI 336 Human Anatomy and Physiology II (3 Credit Hours)

• Functional aspects of the human body, homeostasis, metabolism, and unification in structures are emphasized. Physiological properties of protoplasm; functions and cellular constituents, cells, tissues, organs, and systems will be studied

BI 336L Human Anatomy and Physiology II Lab (1 Credit Hours)

• This laboratory accompanies BI 336 and should be taken in the same semester. It will emphasize laboratory applications of lecture concepts studied in BI 336.

BI 446 Histology (3 Credit Hours)

• Lectures on the microscopic structure and chemical composition structures of organs, tissues, and their cell constituents. The laboratory includes the interpretation of photomicrographs of tissues and cellular structures.

BI 446L Histology Lab (1 Credit Hours)

• This laboratory course complements BI 446 lecture. A basic integrated study of the microscopic and ultra-structures of the human cells and representation tissues of each of the major systems of the human body.

BI 449 Senior Project (1 Credit Hours)

• This course involves literature review, writing a research proposal, and understanding methods of collecting, organizing, and analyzing information.

BI 546 Advanced Histology (3 Credit Hours)

• An advanced study of the microscopic and chemical structures of organs, tissues, and their cellular constituents.

BI 591 Advanced Anatomy and Physiology (3 Credit Hours)

• This is a one-semester graduate course in Human Anatomy & Physiology. This course is designed to provide advanced concepts in human anatomy and physiology for students who plan to pursue careers in education, biology, biotechnology, medical technology, dentistry, physical therapy, nursing or medicine.

BI 599 Thesis I (3 Credit Hours)

• This course is designed to prepare candidates for a Master of Science Degree Program. It assists students in preparing a research proposal that is a Pre-requisite before beginning actual thesis research work.

BI 600 Thesis II (3 Credit Hours)

• This course is required for students in the Master of Science Degree Program. Its main thrust is to assist students in preparing a written document of their research work in an acceptable thesis format. Students will defend their research work before the graduate committee.
