A new course has been added for Spring 25 that is designed specifically for non-majors and will fulfill the NAT distribution requirement.  Bio 126: Stem Cells will meet  W 1:30pm- 4:10pm.

Bio 126:  Stem Cells

Stem cells have fascinated scientists and physicians for their ability to transform what is possible in treating human disease. But what are stem cells, and how are they different than other cell types? How can stem cells be used in medicine? In this course students will learn the basic biology underlying cell development and how cells communicate to form specialized cells like blood, skin, or muscle cells. In addition, we will also discuss how scientists and physicians can harness stem cells to treat human disease and how stem cells are used to uncover the foundations of life. No previous biology experience required, and this course is not creditable to the Biology major.
