Subject: BIOL
Course Number: 1105
Biology of Women This course covers the biology of women, including anatomy, physiology, reproductive health, genetics, pregnancy, childbirth, birth control, menopause, mental health, and other health issues specific to or disproportionately affecting women. This course will analyze the impact of U.S. culture, economics, and politics on perceptions of women's biology and health, addressing misconceptions and their impact. This course will also evaluate personal attitudes and beliefs, assess information sources, and involve creating and analyzing social experiments. This introductory course is open to all genders.

World Health and the Environment This course introduces the student to populations, cultures and environments of the world and how they are connected with the health of both the planet and its inhabitants. Environmental, cultural, political, and ethical issues related to world health will be explored as well as measures being taken by the global community to improve world health. Students will be introduced to the chain of infection as it relates to infectious disease and pandemics and learn to apply data from major world health organizations for research purposes. Case studies and current issues will be used to explore the relationship between human health and the environment. Lab components of this course include the scientific method, the basic biology of pathogens, and basic epidemiology. MTC goal areas: (3) Natural Sciences and (10) People and the Environment. (Prerequisites: BIOL 1120 or ENSC 1200 or BIOL 1170 or BIOL 1007 or BIOL 1140 or BIOL 1000) (2 hrs lec/2 hrs lab/0 hrs OJT)
