This course provides an introduction to modern biology including biological classification, survey of biological diversity and evolutionary relationships, anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and principles of ecology. This course with lab and BI 205 with lab provide a comprehensive two-semester sequence in general biology. REQUIRED FOR ALL BIOLOGY MAJORS. With BI 200L, fulfills Ursuline Core Curriculum Science w/Lab requirement. *SC/DC
The Laboratory is comprised of selected exercises designed to reinforce concepts covered in BI 200 including hands on activities which afford students the opportunity to master basic biological principles, skills, and equipment used in experimental inquiry, design, analysis, and reporting. REQUIRED FOR ALL BIOLOGY MAJORS. *SC/DC

Although basic mechanisms of Mendelian genetics are reviewed, the focus of this course is molecular genetics. The origin of nucleic acids, DNA replication, RNA transcription, and the process of translation are studied in some detail. Regulation of gene expression and the function of non-structural DNA sequences are also considered. Pre-requisites: Biology fundamental sequence; 2 semesters of College Chemistry; and 3 credits of MAT/MIS. Recommended: MAT 131 College Algebra.
An introduction to methods and techniques of investigating genetic principles, including Mendelian inheritance, molecular genetics, and population genetics. Organisms used in the laboratory are representative of those used in research settings. Pre- or co-requisite: BI 335.
Atomic theory, molecular structure, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, gases, states of matter, solutions, and applications to daily life, industry, and life processes. Required for science majors. *SC/DC
Selected chemistry experiments. *SC/DC
Chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Required for science majors.
Selected chemistry experiments.
Part one of a two-semester course of study in organic chemistry. Coverage focuses on 1) structural theory of organic chemistry; 2) mechanistic theory of organic reactions; and 3) structure and reactivity profiles of organic compounds. Applications of organic reactions in synthesis and biological chemistry are highlighted.
Selected organic chemistry experiments.
Part two of a two-semester course of study in organic chemistry. Coverage focuses on 1) structural theory of organic chemistry; 2) mechanistic theory of organic reactions; and 3) structure and reactivity profiles of organic compounds. Applications of organic reactions in synthesis and biological chemistry are highlighted.
Selected organic chemistry experiments.
Structure function relationship for carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids; enzymes and common mechanisms.
The first of a two-semester introductory physics course at the college algebra and elementary trigonometry level. Course topics include kinematics, heat, circular motion, vibration, waves and sound.
Selected experiments.
The minimum program requirements for LECOM School of Medicine also include:
*CLEP cannot be used to satisfy credits
*No final grade less than a “C” will be accepted
*Credit for pass/fail course is not accepted
*LECOM will accept AP course for English and Behavioral Science if the student earns a 4 or 5 on the AP exam. AP credits are not accepted for required science courses
The EAP programs with LECOM are a 4 + 4 program, which means students at Ursuline will follow the traditional audit sheets for a Biology (pre-medicine concentration) or Chemistry undergraduate degree, while focusing on the specific program requirements outlined above. Students can apply to LECOM as seniors in high school, until the April of their sophomore year at Ursuline.
