3.00 Credits
8-10 hours; 3 credits The internship provides on-the-job experience for arts and sciences or business students interested in such fields as radio, network and cable TV, newspapers, magazines, wire services, business and financial journalism, and book publishing. Interns put their journalistic interests into practice by working for the semester in a New York-based media organization under the supervision of both their professional mentors and internship coordinator. Applicants' preferences, training, and skills will be considered not only for admission to the course but also in choosing the position or organization to which they will be assigned. Students may enroll once in 5050 and once in 5051 for credit. Prerequisites: ENG 2150 and 3050 or other appropriate preparation to be evaluated by the internship coordinator. To be accepted into the program, students must arrange an interview with the internship coordinator during the semester preceding the start of the internship and submit writing samples.

3.00 Credits
Hours to be arranged; 3 credits The honors program in English is designed for the outstanding student. Each student conducts research in an area specific to the student's interest and works closely with a faculty advisor. Registration is by permission only from the department chairperson, honors committee designate, and the faculty sponsor. Prerequisite: Special permission.

1.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 1 recitation hour; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course examines the classical foundations of physics and modern 20th-century physics. Topics included in the classical foundation are description of motion, free fall, force, weight, and mass; Newton's laws of motion and law of gravitation; momentum; work and energy; the atomic nature of matter; temperature, heat, and energy; and electricity and magnetism. Topics in 20th-century physics include electronics, wave properties and particle properties of light, photons and the photoelectric effect, the nucleus and Bohr's treatment of the hydrogen atom, the wave nature of matter, X-rays, radio - activity, nuclear structure, and nuclear transformations. (This course may not be taken with the Pass/Fail option.)
-
4.00 Credits
2 lecture hours; 4 lab and field hours; 4 credits The uses and abuses of the resources of the natural environment including a survey of the processes that have disrupted the stability of ecosystems, the reasons for preserving natural communities, and the problems involved in conserving world resources with emphasis throughout on interactions between man and environment. (This course may not be taken with the Pass/Fail option.)
-
1.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 1 recitation hour; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course is a quantitative study of the principles and techniques of physics. It is the first half of a one-year survey of physics. The following topics are studied: equilibrium of a rigid body, planar motion of bodies, Newton's laws, work and energy, conservation principles, elasticity and periodic motion, fluid statics and dynamics, temperature, heat thermo - dynamics, and mechanical waves. This course is designed for students with an interest in the natural sciences, computers, mathematics, or statistics.
-
1.00 Credits
2 lecture hours; 1 recitation hour; 2 computer workshop hours; 4 credits This course builds on basic algebra and deals with various systems of numbers that can be constructed by adding imaginary units to the real numbers with applications in physics. The computer workshop consists of a Unix file server with x-stations running a mathematical package; this allows students to carry on computations on real numbers with the ease of a hand calculator. (This course may not be used to satisfy the base curriculum requirement in natural sciences in any of the degree programs at Baruch College.) Prerequisites: MTH 2001 or equivalent and departmental permission. Pre- or corequisite: PHY 1003 or 2003.
-
2.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course is a descriptive introduction to those aspects of natural science that relate to current problems of environ - mental deterioration. It examines how scientific principles and methods may be used to conserve and extend mineral resources, to recycle materials in short supply, and to safely dispose of waste products. Prerequisite: A one-semester college natural science course with laboratory.
-
1.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 1 recitation hour; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course is a continuation of PHY 2003. The following topics are studied: special relativity, electricity and magnetism, geometric and physical optics, discovery of electron, photoelectric effect, atomic physics, quantum effects, nuclear physics, fundamental particles, and applications to biological systems and medical instrumentation. (Not open to students who have taken PHY 3006.) Prerequisite: PHY 2003.
-
2.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 4 credits A survey is made of the many different sources of energy and the many ways in which it is produced. Some of the main features of the Earth are described. A connection is made between energy production and its possible effect on some of these Earth features. Energy policy and cost are also brought into the total picture. Prerequisite: A one-semester college natural science course with laboratory.
-
2.00 Credits
3 lecture hours; 2 lab hours; 4 credits This course is a description of the impact of the environment on humanity and of the impact of humanity on the environment. The nature and courses of these interactions are examined within the framework of the biological nature of the human species and with concern for survival of the species. Prerequisite: A one-semester college natural science course with laboratory.
