NS - In this course, students will study the physical characteristics of celestial bodies from our closest neighbor, the moon, to the most distant galaxies. Students will be able to explain how past astronomers investigated the universe and the theories they developed to explain their observations. Students will familiarize themselves with recent observations and discover the foundations for modern astronomical theories. Astronomical observations will be applied through activities, laboratories, and simulations. Prerequisite(s): Completion of MATH 085 with a grade of 2.0 or higher or placement by testing in MATH 095. (LAB)
-

NS - This course is intended for non-science majors as an introduction to the foundations and current theories of the science of the universe. Black holes, time travel, the Big Bang, dark matter, and teleportation will be among the subjects studied. Through various methods students will assess the human understanding of our Universe and analyze the many models created to explain the creation, existence, and end of our Universe. Emphasis will be placed on contemporary scientific theories to include the theory of relativity, quantum theory, and current observations. This class will cover the material without the use of intensive mathematics. Prerequisite(s): Placement by testing in MATH 085 and completion of ENGL& 101 (formerly ENG 101) with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
-
5.00 Credits
NS - Students will gain an understanding of the vast diversity of living things and their adaptations to their environment from an evolutionary perspective. They will examine the ecological relationships among all life on the planet. (LAB)
-
5.00 Credits
NS - Students will study evolution as an example of scientific theory and scientific methods. They will gain an understanding of the processes of evolutionary biology. Then they will use that understanding to examine the species concept, natural selection, speciation, and the diversity of the Kingdoms of life on earth. The course will also examine the adaptations organisms have to their environments and interactions between living organisms. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL 090 (formerly ENG 090) with a grade of 2.0 or higher or placement by testing in ENGL 100 (formerly ENG 100). Co-enrollment with MATH 085 or placement in MATH 095.
-

NS - Introduction to the systems of the human body. Structures and functions of these systems will be stressed along with unifying principles such as nutrition, sex, environment, exercise. This course is a non-lab non-majors course. It is not intended for science or allied health majors. Prerequisite(s): Completion of ENGL 090 (formerly ENG 090) with a grade of 2.0 or higher or placement by testing in ENGL 100 (formerly ENG 100). Co-enrollment with or completion of MATH 095 with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
-
5.00 Credits
NS - This course enables students to learn and practice the scientific method as they develop an appreciation of the process of life. They will examine chemical and cellular concepts common to all living things as they pertain to life's maintenance, perpetuation and evolution. Prerequisite(s): Completion of CHEM& 121 (formerly CHEM 120) or CHEM& 161 (formerly CHEM 142) with a grade of 2.0 or higher, or co-enrollment in CHEM& 161 (formerly CHEM 142), and co-enrollment in BIOL 215 (formerly BIOL 205). (LAB)
-
5.00 Credits
NS - Students will examine the major taxa of animals relative to their structure and function. They will be able to recognize the phylogenetic relationships among animals as well as the ecological relationships within the kingdom. Prerequisite(s): Completion of BIOL& 211 (formerly BIOL 201) with a grade of 2.0 or higher and co-enrollment in BIOL 216 (formerly BIOL 206) . (LAB)
