 Please refer to Kelsey's course schedule and upcoming availability below to select your desired experience. 

Wednesday Class Options: 

BIO 325 - Molecular Cell Biology: 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM
The course explores the molecular basis of eukaryotic cell behavior. Topics include stem cell biology, cytoskeletal dynamics, extracellular matrix, protein sorting and the endomembrane system, cell signaling, cell cycling, and programmed cell death. The course concludes with a discussion of how each of these molecular processes can be perturbed in cancer cells. Lab consists of experiments in mammalian tissue culture, including density fractionation, immunoblotting, fluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry.

CHEM 431 - Advanced Inorganic Chemistry: 12:00PM-12:50PM
Emphasizes kinetics as a tool to probe mechanistic details of inorganic reactions and develops the theoretical framework for the spectroscopy and magnetism of atoms and complexes. Group theory and coordination chemistry are also emphasized.

Thursday Class Options: 

VARTS 161 - Foundations of Photography: 9:00 AM - 10:50 AM
This studio course will introduce students to the fundamentals of film, darkroom, digital based photography, software and printing. This foundation course will form the basis of further studies within photography and digital media while emphasizing the rich vocabulary associated with this time and narrative based medium. Students must have an adjustable digital camera.
