Biology Minor
As a biology minor, you will study the vital processes of all organisms and the environments in which they flourish. Biologists study living things at levels ranging from interactions among whole populations of organisms to the molecular mechanisms of cellular chemistry.
sample courses:
A general survey of organic evolution covering both micro and macroevolution. Topics include natural selection, adaptation, evolution of pathogens, formation of species, and phylogenetics.
Basic molecular and cellular aspects of the vertebrate Immune System with emphasis upon the interrelationships of non-specific and specific host defense against disease, the nature of immunological specificity and its underlying molecular biology. Includes complement systems, immunochemistry and immunoassay, the nature of cellular activation and effector generation, immunodeficiency, tolerance, tissue transplantation, hypersensitivity, immune regulation and specific diseases illustrative of the successes and failures of the Immune System.
