3.00 Credits
Description: This course is a continuation of Chemistry I. It focuses on organic chemistry and biochemistry and provides a background for understanding the chemical mechanisms of health and disease. Organic chemistry will emphasize the study of carbon, its special properties, and its compounds. Biochemistry will focus on the chemicals of living organisms, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Selected physiological topics such as energy metabolism, the genetic code, and protein synthesis are included. Prerequisites: SC181 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course emphasizes conservation by providing students an experiential setting that illuminates various aspects of the precarious balance between people's effect on the environment and the natural order of things. Educational goals focus on the conservation and restoration of our natural heritage so that biodiversity is not depleted. Prerequisites: Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.

3.00 Credits
Pathophysiology is the study of abnormal, diseased physiological processes. The course begins with an examination of altered cell functioning, injury and death. The course continues with pathophysiology of the body systems and inability of diseased systems to maintain homeostasis. Also included are topics in inflammation, immunity, neoplasia, and adaptations of the body to stress. Although aging is not considered a disease, some aspects of aging will be discussed. Prerequisites:SC121 AND SC122 Credit Hours:3 CR. HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course examines the basic nutritional principles (biological, chemical and regulatory mechanisms); the changing nutritional requirements throughout the life cycle; the relationship between nutrition and disease; the principles of therapeutic nutrition (diet therapy) and the assessment of nutritional status. Prerequisites: SC180 OR SC181 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This course explores the interaction of biotic and abiotic components in functioning ecosystems. It will examine topics in nutrient cycling, energy flow, population dynamics, and habitat types. The second half of the semester will be dedicated to how ecological factors can give rise to evolutionary change over time. Topics in both micro- and macro-evolution will be explored. The concurrently run lab will train students in local flora, forestry practices, and in the analysis of environmental samples (e.g. water, soil). Prerequisites: SC102 AND SC103 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a broad understanding of both beneficial and harmful microorganisms and their roles in human welfare. Emphasis is placed on the structure, physiology, and control of human pathogens, particularly bacteria and viruses. The lab provides experience in important techniques of culturing, identifying, and controlling microorganisms. Prerequisites: Credit Hours:4 CR. HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: The current explosion in wonder drugs, diagnostic tests and medical treatments has resulted, primarily, from advances in biotechnology. This course will explore the origins and current status of biotechnology and how it is applied in the world or research, product development, medical diagnosis, disease treatment and law enforcement. This course will primarily focus on those areas of biotechnology that pertain to molecular biology and biochemistry. The laboratory portion of this course will expose students to many of the techniques used in molecular biology/biotechnology laboratories around the world. Prerequisites: SC102 AND SC103 Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: This is an introductory course that will describe, develop and create physical models for many of the observable astronomical events in the sky. The topics may include motion in the night sky, the solar system, light, stars, star groups, the origin of the universe, life in the universe, and UFO's. Prerequisites: Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
-
3.00 Credits
Description: Integrated Physical Science I is the first course in the two semester sequence of Physical Science. The sequence is intended for, but not limited to, students planning career in elementary education. Using physical environment as a theme, principles of chemistry, physics, geology, atmospheric science, and space science are introduced, and reinforced through inquiry-based lab activities and field trips. This first course of the sequence, covers fundamental concepts of chemistry and physics, which include: motion, waves and particles, energy, structure and properties of inorganic and organic matter and their mixtures, interactions of energy and matter, order and equilibrium of physical systems. Prerequisites: EH123 AND MI111 AND (MS111 OR MS141) Credit Hours: 3 CR.HR.
