Undergraduate Courses

Evolution for Everyone (BIOL 105)

4 credits. Offered each fall. Satisfies BU’s General Education Social Science requirement.

Now available as an online course, starting winter session 2008!

This course explains the basic principles of evolution and why they are so important for the study of humans in addition to the rest of life. Students from all majors are welcome and a background in science is not necessary. Those who have already learned about evolution will still learn much in this course about the relevance of evolution to human affairs. This course can be taken by itself and also serves as the best introduction to EvoS as a multi-course integrated curriculum.

Current Topics in EvoS (BIOL 480S)

2 credits. Offered each semester in association with the EvoS seminar series. Required at least twice for undergraduate certificate.

This course is built upon the EvoS seminar series, which brings distinguished speakers to campus at regular intervals. The course consists of reading one or more articles in preparation for each speaker, writing a short response to the article(s), attending the seminar, and meeting with each speaker after the seminar for an extended discussion over food. This is a superb way to engage in transdisciplinary interactions with other members of EvoS and with some of the most distinguished scientists and scholars of our day. The course can be taken multiple times and requires that Fridays between 4-7PM be kept open on EvoS seminar days.
