208 Native Flora of North Georgia - 3 semester hours
This course will attempt to introduce the student to plant identification and taxonomy as it applies to the flora of the southern Appalachian biogeographic region. Terminology applicable to the use of a taxonomic key will be studied, and the use of a taxonomic key will be practiced. Other botanical concepts, e.g. nomenclature, basic plant anatomy & physiology, ecology, herbalism, and biogeography will also be studied. Field work will emphasize the identification of native flora of the North Georgia mountains. Spring semester only.

210 Vertebrate Zoology - 4 semester hours
A field oriented course designed to concentrate on the native fauna of the north Georgia mountains. Lecture emphasis will discuss the taxonomy, morphology, ecology and evolution of all vertebrate classes. Activities outside the scheduled class periods are required. Preferred but not required as a prerequisite - general biology or science majors biology. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week.

250 Ecological and Environmental Studies - 4 semester hours
Lecture emphasis in this course deals with the nature of ecosystems worldwide and human involvement in each one. Basic ecological information is discussed; including population structure and growth, community structure, energy flow and mineral cycling in ecosystems and evolution of ecosystems. Labs place emphasis on the local environment and habitats. Activities outside the scheduled class time are required. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab each week.

251 Microbiology and Health Care - 4 semester hours
Prerequisite: either Biology 103, 111, or 121. Recommended: Chemistry 201. Fundamental principles and techniques of microbiology will be studied, with emphasis on different types of microorganisms, their nutrition and metabolism, and their beneficial and harmful relationships, with emphasis on human infectious disease. Three one-hour lectures and one three-hour lab per week. (Note: This course is designed for students in the allied health fields. Biology majors should not take Biology 251). Spring semester only.
