\u201cOne of the great things about working at St. Petersburg College is the academic freedom and the ability to design courses that allow both faculty and students to explore their academic interests.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Shannon Ulrich<\/p>\n

The Baccalaureate Biology program at SPC offers core courses where students are introduced to the basics of studying life.\u00a0 These courses include Cell Biology, Genetics, Ecology, Botany, Comparative Physiology, and others.\u00a0 Faculty are also encouraged to design special topics courses.\u00a0 This Fall these special courses will include Marine Mammalogy, Marine Ecology, Food Science and Immunology.<\/p>\n

So, YOU want to be a Biologist!!!\u00a0 Now, what classes should you take?? Well, consider these special topic courses to fulfill your elective hours.\u00a0 Here\u2019s more information\u2026.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marine Mammalogy \u2013 BSC 3931 Section 4291 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Explore the fascinating world of mammals who waved \u201cbye-bye\u201d to land and embraced the life aquatic!\u00a0 Marine Mammalogy examines the major groups of marine mammals from an evolutionary and physiological perspective. Through this lens, we will investigate behavior, conservation and current research methods.<\/p>\n

Marine Ecology \u2013 BSC 3931<\/strong><\/p>\n

This course will discuss marine communities, processes and ecosystem functions.\u00a0 In addition, hands on laboratories and fieldwork will allow students to learn about the process of research design and implementation.<\/p>\n

Food Science \u2013 BSC 3931 Section 4292<\/strong><\/p>\n

Examine the microbiology and biochemistry of culinary arts.\u00a0 In this course, students will experiment with molecular gastronomy, food pathogen detection, the art of fermentation (i.e. Brewing BEER), growing edible mushrooms and more!\u00a0 The FINAL EXAM will be a POSTER POTLUCK!!!<\/p>\n

Immunology \u2013 PCB 4233\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This course teaches the fundamentals and functions of the immune system.\u00a0 The role of the immune system in health and disease is a vital component of life and investigations into this system introduce the student to the organs, tissues, cells, and molecules of the immune system and their relationship to disease.\u00a0 The immune system involves complex interactions between blood cells, chemical signals, cellular signals, genetics, and foreign \u201cinvaders\u201d which allow us to merge concepts from biology, microbiology, biochemistry and genetics.<\/p>\n
