  • Courses Description

  • Credit Hours

  • Microbiology

  • This course is an overview of microorganisms important in clinical diseases and biotechnology. You are introduced to general concepts concerning morphology, genetics, and reproduction of these microbial agents. It focuses on individual organisms with emphasis on infectious diseases, biotechnology applications, molecular and biochemical characteristics, and molecular and serological identification methods.

  • 6 Credits

  • Introduction to Human Biology

  • This course sparks interest in you by encouraging to connect basic biology concepts to real-world issues that are relevant to their own lives. It demystifies the scientific process and the concepts of human biology using a narrative style to tell a story with a reader-friendly approach.

  • 6 Credits

  • Introduction to Biology

  • This course focuses on the core concepts you need to make scientifically informed decisions throughout their lives. It covers four major topics–cells, genetics, evolution/diversity, and ecology–and uses evolution as an overarching theme to tie all topics together.

  • 6 Credits

  • Introduction to Ecology

  • Ecology is the scientific study of interactions between organisms and their environment in a hierarchy of levels of organization: individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems. This course provides a comprehensive survey of The Organism in Its Environment, Population Interactions, Ecological Genetics and the Ecosystem.

  • 6 Credits

  • Fundamentals of Botany

  • This course will capture your attention by showing them why plants are a fascinating and essential part of their everyday lives. The clear, concise text focuses on four major themes: plants and people, conservation biology, evolution, and biotechnology and will give you practical and relevant information about the world of botany.
