Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): BIO 1000 or equivalent, completion of General Studies requirements in Written Communication, Oral Communication, and Quantitative Literacy, or permission of instructor.

Description: This course views aging from both the biological and the physiological perspectives. Theories on the biology of aging and cultural variations of aging will be explored. The concepts of continuity and change will be used to study the cellular and molecular events throughout the lifespan that lead to aging and disease. Causes, physiological and pathological changes, and factors that contribute to life prolongation and the strengthening of physiologic competence to improve the quality of life as individual’s age will be addressed.
