(CRN /Lab ) This course introduces freshwater ecosystems and the links between human water use and freshwater resources. Students are aked to consider water-related challenges such as climate change, population growth/demand, eutrophication, and pollution. Topics include water as a unique substance, ecological principles, management practices, governance, groundwater, lakes and rivers. Lab and all field trip components are remote-home based. Credit will be granted for only one of AQUA 101 or AQUA 100. Three credits.

(CRN /Lab ) This course introduces ocean ecosystems and the links between human use and marine resources. Students are asked to consider challenges such as climate change, pollution, aquaculture and fisheries, sustainable use of species and ecosystems. Examples highlight the interplay between humans and oceans within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Blue Economy, and current events. Topics include estuarine and ocean ecosystems, scientific principles, and resource management approaches. Lab and field trips. Credit will be granted for only one of AQUA 102 or AQUA 100. Three credits.

(CRN 58932) An introduction to microorganisms from a human perspective for students in the nursing program. Topics include bacterial structure and function, bacterial genetics and antibiotic resistance, and viral structure and infection. Credit will be granted for only one of BIOL 115 or BIOL 215. Restricted to nursing students. Cannot be used as science A for biology students.

(CRN 58897) This course is restricted to students in particular degree programs, as outlined below. This course concerns how scientific principles are established.
