								1.00 Credits 
								This course offers an introduction to reading university level basic science texts and in developing strategies to frame responses employing the concepts of recall, paraphrase, comprehension, synthesis and analysis. Emphasis is placed on development of academic vocabulary and editing for grammar and style. This course will not fulfill degree requirements for the undergraduate or the D.C. programs but may be used as general elective credit.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								The significant events, movements, and issues that have played a role in shaping of modern-day America are the focus of this course. Attention will be given to major social and cultural developments as well as related political and economic influences. ( This course meets the California State requirements in American History.)
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								4.00 Credits 
								The course focuses on the biological sciences from ancient times into the modern era. From the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and early Scientific Revolution of the 17th and 18th centuries, the modern foundations of thought and reason, institutions and instrumentation will be traced. The course also will examine scientific advances from early 19th century evolutionary views and Darwinism to the 20th century discoveries in genetics and molecular biology. An individual research project is required. Prerequisite: English Composition I
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								1.00 Credits 
								This course presents the basic scientific terminology. Topics include Greek and Latin roots of words, prefixes and suffixes, and the dissection of words to discover their meaning.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								The purpose of this course is to provide students a good foundation in arithmetic and geometry. In addition, it introduces the concepts required to learn higher mathematics such as intermediate and college algebra. The course covers the following topics: basic mathematical concepts such as integers and expressions, solving equations, decimals and equations, number theory, rational numbers, ratios and proportions, percentages, equations and inequalities, graphing, basic geometry, probability, arithmetic and factoring polynomials, laws of exponents, solving and graphing linear equations, quadratic equations and their applications to word problems. This course will not fulfill degree requirements for the undergraduate or the D.C. programs but may be used as general elective credit. Prerequisite: Math Placement Examination as determined by the department chair.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								This course stresses the elementary concepts of algebra, including number systems, factoring solutions and inequalities, rational expressions, graphing and equations with two variables. This course will not fulfill degree requirements for the undergraduate or the D.C. programs but may be used as general elective credit.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								This course explores polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions, relations and graphs, theories of equations, matrices, series, sequences and probability. Prerequisite: Intermediate Algebra or Math Placement Test
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Applications of physics to modern life and physical laws of nature with a minimum of mathematical emphasis are offered in this course. This course is designed to introduce the student to physics. This course will not fulfill degree requirements for the undergraduate or the D.C. programs but may be used as general elective credit.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								4.00 Credits 
								This algebra-based lecture with lab is designed primarily for life science and related majors. This course examines the fundamental concepts and laws of linear and rotational motion, force, torque, energy, momentum, and properties of solids and fluids. The laboratory will explore many of these concepts and laws through experimentation. Prerequisite: College Algebra Corequisite: College Algebra with permission of undergraduate director Recommended: high school physics
