Fall 2025

BIOL 334 Comp Vertebrate Anatomy w/lab
An integrated lecture and laboratory course exploring the functional morphology and evolution of vertebrates. Students will apply foundational content from lecture and intensive techniques of manual tissue dissection in the laboratory to fully evaluate the structure & function integrative design of selected, preserved specimens. Six hours classroom a week. Prerequisites: One 200-level BIOL course. For Neuroscience majors, prerequisite is NRSC 200.

BIOL 412 Physio of Prehosp Emerg Care
Through detailed study of the primary biological literature, students acquire an understanding of the methodology and philosophy of scientific research. Includes study of the formulation of hypotheses, the design of experiments or observations to test these hypotheses, and the interpretation of results. This course will normally require a major research-based presentation and/or paper and may also involve the conduct of research by students. This course satisfies the requirement for a research experience for the biology major. Prerequisites: one 200-level Biology course and one upper-level Biology course.

HPPG 141 EMT Certification Training
The EMT is an entry-level, licensed prehospital health care provider. Successful completion of this course will prepare students to attain this certification after passing the written and practical Pennsylvania Department of Health (PA DOH) EMT and the National Registry EMT (NREMT) exams. The class will provide students with foundational clinical knowledge and skills to assess, triage (sorting patients and prioritizing their care by severity of illness/injury), and provide care on scene and throughout the transport of patients to definitive care centers. It will be taught at the Carlisle EMS Academy, the Cumberland-Goodwill Emergency Services simulation house, and as overlap allows , the human gross anatomy laboratory at °µÍø½ûÇø. The course has two, four-hour lecture/laboratory meetings per week from 6:00PM to 10:00PM on Tuesday and Thursday evenings plus two, eight-hour Saturday lecture/laboratory meetings per month for a total of 144 contact hours. Note: Professional EMTs routinely move patients and equipment from highly complex contact points to ambulances (often up and down multiple flights of stairs) while simultaneously rendering care. These baseline expectations of physical strength, endurance, dexterity, and coordination are integrated into almost all facets of this EMT course. Prior to the first class, all students must submit a completed medical examination form signed by a physician or advanced practice provider clearing the student to engage in EMS training.

BIOL 333 Human Physiology w/Lab
This course examines physiological mechanisms in the human body with an emphasis on the chemical and physical principles that govern the normal functions of organs and organ systems to maintain homeostasis. Topics include the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, renal, reproductive, and immune systems. The laboratory reinforces lecture material through experiments that involve physiological measurements and data analysis.Six hours classroom a week. Prerequisites: One 200-level BIOL course. For Neuroscience majors, prerequisite is NRSC 200.
