Anatomy & Physiology

This course is offered cooperatively with Eastern Connecticut State University, (BIO 202/203) for the student who is considering a career in a medical field. Its form, content and rigor are comparable to those of the ECSU Human Biology course. The course is open to juniors and seniors.  The year-long course focuses on the fundamental aspects of the structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) of the human body with application of the basic principles to the causes of disease and current treatments. There is a double-class laboratory period during which students will focus on specific aspects of a course topic. Dissections are included in the course and hands-on participation is required to receive credit for those lab activities.  Written laboratory reports will be required.
