Biology Today: An Issues Approach

Starting with the fall 2009 term, this course will be renumbered as BIO 1825.

Designed to help students experience the interdisciplinary nature of today’s biology, and the intimate connections between biological and social issues. Citizens are increasingly called upon to deal with science-based issues throughout their lives, in the foods they eat, the medicines they take, and the air they breathe. Legislators, juries, corporate managers, and individual citizens make important decisions affecting the well- being of society, the family unit, and the individual. Current understanding of each issue will be covered from different perspectives, including the scientific, individual, community, and global perspectives, and from its social context, both historical and contemporary. This course fulfills the science requirement for any major and serves as an elective course in all science majors.

There are no current sections scheduled for this course number.
Please note that courses have been assigned new numbers beginning with the fall term.
