Course Descriptions All Courses 
BIOL 1308 Biology Concepts for Health Pre-Professionals
Fundamental principles of living organisms including physical and chemical properties of life, organization, function evolutionary adaptation, and classification. Concepts of reproduction, genetics, ecology, and the scientific method are included. This course is designed to prepare students to take BIOL 2304 or BIOL 2404.

 BIOL 1309 Life on Earth
A survey of the living organisms on our planet for the non-science major. Emphasis on evolutionary and natural history, structural and behavioral adaptations, biological diversity and co-evolution.

 BIOL 1323 Human Nutrition
This course explores the various nutrients, their sources, digestion, absorption, metabolism, interaction, storage, and excretion. Current research is presented against a background of basic nutritional concepts. Special emphasis is given to the role nutrition plays in the current health care delivery system and how nutrition can be emphasized to promote health maintenance. This course is required for most BSN students and fulfills the requirements for a science elective in the College of Natural Sciences at U.T.
