3.00 Credits
In the Capstone Seminar students focus on specific academic projects that both integrate the knowledge and skills from their previous course work and prepare them for the next stage of their professional development. The course stresses written, oral, and visual communication; pragmatic problem-solving skills; setting and achieving specific goals; teamwork; and self-assessment. Each year at least one section of the Capstone Seminar will be devoted to individual research and creative projects, and one to team-based projects. Additional sections of either format may be offered based on need, student interest, and availability. (Offered fall and spring terms) Prerequisite: CM 301 Communication Forms and Techniques, SB 375 Methods of Inquiry or HG 375 Historical Methods. Student must be eligible for graduation at the end of the term in which seminar is taken.

3.00 Credits
This course prepares students for SM161 or SM163 by introducing them to the operations and properties of the real number system, algebraic expressions, and solving equations. Applications are stressed throughout the course. This course provides three college credits which are factored into the GPA. However, these credits are taken in addition to the total credit requirements of the student's major program. Placement is based upon an entrance mathematics test. Ordinarily, students are expected to complete this course by the end of their first year of college (September to September or January to January). Students who participate in Summer College (August) prior to their first year of school must complete this course by the end of that academic year (May). Page 218 Course Descriptions Students who fail this course twice will be dismissed from the College. (Offered annually)

4.00 Credits
Physical Science is an introduction to various disciplines of science, namely physics - the science of matter and energy; chemistry - the science of matter and change; astronomy - the science of the universe beyond our planet; and geology - the science of Earth and its history. The basic laws that govern physics and chemistry can also be applied to astronomy and geology. The history of development of these laws adds to the perspective of how scientific knowledge has evolved through the course of human history and how science influences our lives and how it can be used in the future. (Offered fall term) Prerequisite: SM 161 College Algebra or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
The impact of human activity on the environment is discussed within the context of basic ecological principles. Topics include energy, population biology, resource management and pollution. Lecture/discussion material is combined with field work conducted at local natural areas. Fulfills the lab science requirement. (Offered annually)
-
3.00 Credits
Designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the mathematical concepts and skills needed as prerequisite for Calculus I. Emphasis is on developing mathematical reasoning and graphical visualization skills, thus helping students understand how the mathematical concepts can be applied to solve real world problems. Topics studied include graphs, functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, and matrices. (Offered fall and spring term) Required prerequisite: SM 161 College Algebra.
-
4.00 Credits
The course familiarizes the student with the skeletal structure, musculature and internal systems of the horse, including the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, integumentary, special senses and reproductive systems. The course structure includes three lectures and one laboratory session every week. This course fulfills the lab science requirement in the general education core. (Offered fall term) Prerequisite: SM 112 Cellular and Organismal Biology.
-
4.00 Credits
The physical and biological aspects of aquatic ecosystems are investigated. Topics include the types of major freshwater habitats (ponds, lakes, rivers, bogs and swamps) and the physiological and behavioral adaptations of animals and plants in each of these habitats. The laboratory portion consists of field trips to various habitats, analysis of the physical factors, and determination of species present. Three lectures and a lab every week. Fulfills the lab science requirement. Required prerequisites: SM 111 Biology I or SM 112 Biology II.
-
4.00 Credits
This class focuses on a study of carboncontaining compounds upon which living things are based. It deals with the structure, bonding and reactivity of compounds that contain mainly carbon and hydrogen. Emphasis is placed on understanding relationships between molecular structure and properties and on designing syntheses of organic compounds. The use of spectroscopy in determining the molecular structure will be included as well. The laboratory provides hands-on experience with the tools and techniques of organic chemistry. Fulfills the lab science requirement. (Offered upon need) Prerequisite: SM 121 and SM 122
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Organic Chemistry I with emphasis on monofunctional and polyfunctional organic compounds and multi-step methods of synthesis. There are three lectures and a lab every week. Fulfills the lab science requirement. (Offered upon need) Prerequisite: SM 221
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a survey of the animal kingdom, covering major invertebrate and vertebrate groups. Emphasis is placed on structural and functional relationships related to evolution and physiology. Lab exercises compare these relationships among diverse taxonomic groups. Fulfills the lab science requirement.
