While Medical Sciences does not offer an undergraduate degree, it offers numerous undergraduate courses that satisfy selected requirements for specific majors.  These courses also are popular electives for many undergraduates.  Undergraduate courses offered, and links to the course websites, are listed below:

A215 Basic Human Anatomy (5 cr.)
An organ systems approach to the study of the human body, including microscopic and gross structure (offered every Fall, Spring and Summer II sessions)

A464 Human Tissue Biology (4 cr.)
The goal of Human Tissue Biology is to provide the student with an in-depth understanding at the cellular and molecular level of the various specialized tissues that make up the human body. All the major tissue and organ systems will be covered, including the nervous system, immune system, reproductive system, and endocrine system (offered every Spring semester)

M131 Disease and the Human Body (3 cr.)
Suitable for non-science majors at all levels. Basic science knowledge is advantageous but not necessary. Disease or injury is the basis for discussion of the normal anatomy and physiology of relevant body systems and the alterations that are due to the disease or injury (offered every Fall and Spring semesters)

M216 Medical Science of Psychoactive Drugs (3 cr.)
An entry-level examination of the biological mechanisms underlying the effects of psychoactive drugs.  Drug actions in the brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs, liver and other organs and tissues will be detailed.  Molecular mechanisms and genetic factors involved in drug-induced therapeutic and adverse effects will be emphasized (offered every Fall and Spring semesters)

M450 Undergraduate Research for Biomedical Science (1-6 cr.)
Introduction to research methods and scientific methods and scientific investigation in the biomedical sciences

M470/570 Mechanisms of Human Disease
The course will examine the epidemiology, mechanisms of injury and social impact of selected infectious diseases introduced by Europeans and Africans into New World Native Populations.  We will consider the genetic diversity of new world native Americans at the time of European contact and investigate the emergence and evolution of selected infectious diseases such as measles, smallpox, influenza, tuberculosis and syphilis.  We will investigate selected New World epidemics using historic documents, archeological and anthropological sources (offered every Fall semester)

M499 Internship in Medical Science Instruction (3 cr.)
Supervised teaching experience in undergraduate medical science courses (requires permission of instructor.  Offered every Fall, Spring and Summer II Sessions)

P421 Principals of Human Physiology (3-5 cr.)
Intended for senior science majors and first year graduate students. Permission of instructor required.  This course offers an organ systems approach to the study of human physiology

P215 Basic Human Physiology (5 cr.)
Intended for science majors and not recommended for first-semester freshman. An organ systems approach to the study of human body function (offered every Fall, Spring, and Summer II Sessions)
