BMC 551 Developmental Biology (4SH4 SH)
An investigative study of the topics of gametogenesis, fertilization, embryogenesis and organogenesis. Molecular influences and cell interactions involved in differentiation and development are emphasized. Laboratory investigations use both descriptive and experimental approaches to study amphibian, bird, and mammal development. A research project and paper are required.
BMC 561 Biochemistry Foundations (3SH3 SH)
A survey of structure-function relationships of biological molecules and systems. Emphasis is placed on enzymology, intermediary metabolism, and metabolic control. Laboratory focuses on protein chemistry and involves an extended independently guided research project in which students develop their own hypotheses and test them using the techniques learned early in the course. Three lecture periods and one lab per week.

BMX 611 Biomedicine, Faith & Ethics (3SH3 SH)
This team-taught course explores relationships between science and Christian faith by investigating scientific foundational ideas and their interaction with theology. Topics such as global and human origins, chance and complexity, human nature, mind, health and healing, environmental and medical ethics are examined and viewed through the lenses of Scripture, theology, and natural science. Students will be led to form and articulate a multidimensional world view that incorporates the realities of science and a holistic Christian faith.
BMS 540 Drugs: Discovery, Design, Action (2 SH)
The intended audience for the class is chemistry, biochemistry and biology students, particularly those who are interested in pre-professional health careers, industrial careers in biotechnology or pharmaceuticals, public health, or graduate work in chemistry, biochemistry or biology. In this class, we will study the principles that govern the process of modern drug discovery & development and to gain insight to the modes of activity of the major classes of drugs (antibiotics, antivirals, analgesics, anticancer, steroids, antihistamines, etc.) Students will primarily be evaluated based on appropriate scientific writing
