In this class, students will discover what makes a leader for sustainability. They will consider a range of global and local crises from a leadership point of view in the context of sustainability science, which addresses the development of communities in a rapidly changing social, economic, and environmental system-of-systems environment. The course will be based on taking a problem-motivated and solution-focused approach to the challenges considered. The course includes a service learning project focusing on a leadership experience in solving a real-world environmental problem.

The biology of marine and freshwater fishes including morphology, physiology, evolution, distribution, ecology, and reproduction.

A structured specialty course designed to meet the needs of students in biology. Students are expected to perform at the level of other junior level classes. Prerequisites: BIOL 123N and BIOL 124N must be passed with a grade of C or higher.

An introductory, non-sequential course for non-biology majors with laboratory. This course concentrates on major biological concepts concerning molecular biology, cellular biology, cellular reproduction, energetics, and organismal biology. Laboratory activities enhance understanding of core biological topics. Cannot be substituted for BIOL 121N and BIOL 122N or for BIOL 123N and BIOL 124N.
