Many students begin their college career with a specific goal in mind. Applying to graduate school is highly competitive, particularly for clinical fields such as Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, and Medical School. Many Kinesiology students intend to apply to one of those programs for the year after they graduate. By the time students are seniors, many have not been accepted to the program they were hoping to attend, or they are lacking the GPA or extracurricular activities to even apply. At this point, many students are not sure what the next step.

Investigating their properties can thus reveal aspects of grammar which remain unobservable in the oral signal, due to articulatory constraints and other limitations relative to the linearity of speech.

Not for majors. With lab. Basic concepts of microbiology with emphasis on microbial pathogenesis and immunity. Medically important microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, viruses, rickettsia, protozoa, and the diseases which they produce. Laboratory exercises develop fundamental skills in aseptic technique, microscopy, pure culture study, and the isolation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms. (Gen.Ed. BS)

Plants are the major determinants of habitat structure for wildlife, and are the primary producers upon which all other species depend. This course will provide students with foundational concepts of applied plant ecology, with a focus on the effects of invasive species and climate change on the functional roles of plants in ecosystems. Through a close reading of relevant primary literature and discussions of current research, students will explore methods used to quantify relationships between plants and the abiotic and biotic environment.
