Biology:   Offered by the Federated Department of Biological Sciences at NJIT and Rutgers-Newark
 
UNDERGRADUATE COURSES:

Biol 310 - Research and Independent Study (3-0-3)
Prerequisites: Departmental approval and permission of the Office of Cooperative Education and Internships. Students gain major-related work experience and reinforcement of their academic program. Work assignments facilitated and approved by the co-op office. Mandatory participation in seminars and completion of a report. Effective From: Spring 2007

Biol 368 - The Ecology and Evolution of Disease (3-0-3)
This course addresses those aspects of ecology and evolutionary biology most relevant to understanding the origin, dynamics and treatment of disease (both infectious and hereditary/genetic). The class will be a mixture of lecture and discussion of case studies. Material covered will include biology, mathematical models, and some aspects of human behavior. Effective From: Fall 2008

Biol 383 - Neural Basis of Behavior (3-0-3)
Prerequisite: R120:301 Foundations of Biology. This lecture course explores the neural mechanisms underlying animal behavior. This course is intended for upper-level undergraduate students who have some background in biology, hence the prerequisite for Foundation of Biology. This courses would also be of interest to graduate students interested in neuroscience, such as, students in the Quantitative Neuroscience (QNS) program, students in the Integrative Neuroscience (INS) program, and students at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMB). It is unnecessary for the students to have taken animal behavior or neurobiology; however, these courses would be helpful. Effective From: Fall 2008
