0.00 Credits
(Dual listed with SPS 093) SPS Seminar is a required course of the Basic Education Program. The seminar focuses on values clarification, identification and applications of individual learning styles, critical thinking, problem solving, career exploration and understanding College policies. Students will be expected to demonstrate the understanding of these concepts and skills in the other courses of the college preparatory program and in making plans for the next semester of their education. (1.5 lecture hours) SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a
-
4.00 Credits
A survey course which explores the basic biological principles of reproduction and development, classical and molecular genetics, evolution, behavior and ecology. The diversity of life is examined in the laboratory as well as through field trip experiences. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the relationships between the living and non-living components of the biosphere. The student examines dynamics and complexities of ecosystems, communities and populations of organisms. An examination of human impact and value systems upon ecosystems is considered throughout the course. Field work is undertaken when applicable. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the structure, physiology, adaptations, and life cycles of animals. Laboratory includes a study of microscopic forms, dissection of more advanced invertebrates, and selected vertebrates including frog, fetal pig, and perch. Field trip identification of local fauna is included as one of the course objectives. Course fulfills one semester of a laboratory science for students who have interest in or desire to pursue studies in zoology, wildlife, marine biology, and ecology. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: High school biology, high school chemistry (or equivalent, such as CHE 107), successful completion of all remedial English and remedial reading requirements. This is the first course in the BIO 109-110 sequence. This sequence is intended for students majoring in the sciences, including the health sciences, and secondary science education. These courses cover the basic concepts of biology that are derived from the study of living things. In the first semester, emphasis is placed upon the molecular and cellular levels of life. Topics such as cell structure, metabolism, molecular genetics, cell division and control mechanisms are discussed. The second semester deals with life on organism through the ecosystem levels. Plant and animal systems are examined in the context of their role in evolution and the environment. The diversity of life is examined in the laboratory as well as through field trip experiences. The laboratory includes a dissection of more advanced invertebrates and selected vertebrates. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies to each course. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI

(Formerly BIO 105/106) Human Genetics examines the basic concepts of DNA and normal and abnormal gene function in human development and life. A point of emphasis is the relationship between genetic material and environmental impacts, including radiation, chemicals and viral infection. Genetic engineering, birth defects, DNA fingerprinting, gene therapy, cancer and the human problems associated with these subjects are discussed. Laboratory exercises involve work with living organisms. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
-
4.00 Credits
(Formerly BIO 113/114) A biological examination of what it means to become a human. The course traces the development of human form and function from conception to birth through lectures, discussions and laboratory experiences on human genetics, reproduction, development, and birth. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
-
3.00 Credits
(Dual listed with SCI 119) The course is designed as an overview of the structure, origin, and evolution of the world's oceans. Investigations will include analysis of abiotic factors such as sediments, coastlines, water properties, and movement. Students will take a close look at general water circulation, tides, currents, waves, and the effects of weather and climate. Further investigations will focus on biotic factors such as marine organisms, food chains, resources, and man's relationship to the sea. Note: This is a three-credit course and does not fulfill the laboratory science requirement needed for graduation. There will be no waivers issued under any circumstances. (3 lecture hours) SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-NSCI
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: One semester of college biology or permission of the Department. The anatomy, physiology, and behavior of birds are studied in the context of their environments. Classification and evolution of birds are discussed. Laboratory exercises involve dissection, field trips, and individual investigative projects involving data collection and analysis. Field trips include representative Long Island habitats: marine, fresh water, woods, and fields. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
