Survey course in the fundamentals of horticulture and basic botany. Plant structure and function, nomenclature, nutrition, seed biology, propagation, pests and diseases, soils, compost and an introduction to biotechnology. Topics include growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Course requirements include exams, in-class discussions, and a book review. Laboratory (BIO 123) must be taken concurrently. Enrollment limited to 30.

This course emphasizes the tools and methods used to study the physical chemistry of biological systems. The laboratory will focus on the applications of experimental techniques in elucidating the principles of biochemical systems. Prerequisite: BCH 253 and CHM 224. BCH 335 is a co-requisite for the course and must be taken concurrently.

The capstone seminar brings together a cohort of concentrators and other advanced students to explore contemporary issues at the intersection of archives and public history. The seminar readings focus on case studies about contemporary challenges in preservation, access and interpretation of archival materials. In a variety of media, students analyze how these materials become part of a meaningful and usable past for general audiences. In addition, each student completes an independent public history project that draws on primary sources and materials objects from local repositories.
