UCSB 2009-2010 Catalog Course Search
Search by subject area and course number. Refer to this list of subject areas and their corresponding department.
Tip: A search for the subject area, for example, querying just "HIST" (without quotes), will return all courses of the queried subject area. Searching using subject area and number, such as "HIST 17" (without quotes), would return all courses in the series; in this example that would include HIST 17A, 17AH, 17B, etc.

| (1-6) STAFF |
| Prerequisites: None |
| This course is intended for first year CCS Biology majors who have completed MCDB 1A, MCDB 1AL, and either Biology CS 20, or concurrent enrollment in EEMB 3. |
| An integrative approach introduces students to fundamental concepts of population and community ecology, and to plant and animal physiology. Field and laboratory activities illustrate basic principles in ecology and physiology as they influence the distribution and abundance or organisms. |
| BIOL CS 101 - Models and Experiments |
| (1-6) STAFF |
| Prerequisites: Consent of instructor. |
| Interplay between models and experimentation in the development of an understanding of the principles of biology. |
| BIOL CS 102 - Laboratory Project |
