BI 100 Orientation to Marine Life of the Oregon Coast 2 class and 3 lab hrs/wk, 3 cr. Presents introductory information about marine organisms, including birds, mammals, fishes, and invertebrates native to the Oregon Coast. Includes identification of these organisms, basic knowledge about their natural history, introduction to scientific terminology, basic awareness of scientific classification, and information related to the understanding of the physical exhibitory structure and life support systems in maintaining these animals in an aquarium environment. Provides background and practice in interpretation of the knowledge gained to members of the general public. BI 101 General Biology 3 class and 3 lab hrs/wk, 4 cr.

Investigates the principles of cell division; Mendelian, population, and molecular genetics; evolution, natural selection and origin of species; and animal behavior. Prerequisite: None. This sequence need not be taken in order, although some carryover from one term to the next does occur. BI 103 General Biology 3 class and 3 lab hrs/wk, 4 cr. Investigates the principles of animal structure (anatomy) and function (physiology); human (and comparative) reproductive, nervous, circulatory, immune, digestive, respiratory, and urinary systems; plant structure and function; nutrition, growth and reproduction. Prerequisite: None. This sequence need not be taken in order, although some carryover from one term to the next does occur. BI 131 Environmental Science 1 3 class and 3 lab hrs/wk, 4 cr. Introduces basic principles of ecology and environmental science and examines environmental problems and issues concerning human population growth. BI 132 Environmental Science 2 3 class and 3 lab hrs/wk, 4 cr. Examines environmental problems and issues related to resource use and management such as deforestation, global warming, soil erosion, water and food shortages, the loss of biodiversity, and energy issues. Prerequisite: BI 131 or BI 101. BI 133 Environmental Science 3 3 class and 3 lab hrs/wk, 4 cr.
