An introductory study of microorganisms for allied health professionals (this course does not satisfy requirements of the biology major). Course includes history, taxonomy and nomenclature, morphology, physiology, nutrition, cultivation, ecology, genetics, immunity, and the roles of micro-organisms in disease and agriculture. Emphasis is on bacteria. Standard microbial methods and techniques are learned in the laboratory.

This field oriented ornithology course is designed to introduce all students (biology majors, non-majors, and senior citizens) to the diversity, morphology and behavior of birds of west-central Montana. Classes are conducted during the morning hours when resident, breeding birds are most active. We travel to many ecotypic areas (mountain, riparian, prairie, and wetland, etc.) to observe and understand as many bird species as possible. Bird skins in the Carroll College study collection are also used to more closely identify and appreciate birds seen in the field. A final examination includes questions about birds observed as well as those identified in the study collection.

A study of the principles of inheritance at the organismal and molecular levels. Topics include transmission mechanisms, linkage, DNA replication, and gene expression. Current technology and research areas in genetics and their applications will also be discussed. Problem solving and experimental data analysis will be emphasized.

Intermediate Writing. A study of the principles of inheritance at the organismal and molecular levels. The laboratory will incorporate both computational simulation methods and a hands-on introduction to current molecular genetics techniques, as well as exposure to current next-generation sequencing methods and technology. The scientific method, problem solving, experimental data analysis, and scientific communication will be emphasized.

Special Topics courses include ad-hoc courses on various selected topics that are not part of the regular curriculum, however they may still fulfill certain curricular requirements. Special topics courses are offered at the discretion of each department and will be published as part of the semester course schedule - view available sections for more information. Questions about special topics classes can be directed to the instructor or department chair.
