Session I, September 5-November 25, 2007

LFSC 510: Concepts of Modern Biology - The biology concentration gateway course for the MLFSC program.

LFSC 520: Concepts of Modern Chemistry - The chemistry concentration gateway course for the MLFSC program.

LFSC 620: Modern Molecular Genetics - An overview of the discipline of genetics including both classical and modern molecular genetics. Advanced topics will include the increased understanding of the genetic basis/components in prevalent diseases, genetically engineered organisms and foods

LFSC 680: Chemical Ecology - This is a chance for you to see how two chemists view this aspect of biology. We are very excited about this course.

LFSC 609A: Food Safety and Genetically Modified Foods - A more current topic of interest one could not find.

LFSC 619A: Molecular Spectroscopy – An overview of spectroscopic techniques for the determination of molecular structure with applications in medicine and commerce.

Session II, December 5, 2007 -February 24, 2008

LFSC 640: Human Physiology - Examination of the major organ systems of the human body and of the neural and hormonal mechanisms responsible for their regulation and control.
