This course is a survey of the biological theory of evolution, as related to the human species. Major topics include basic genetics, general biological evolution, comparative anatomy, and primate and hominid evolution. Special topics may include an examination of the evolution of human traits such as language, art, agriculture, and war, and the role of humans in the extinction of other species. 3 CRED ITS

This course examines the chemistry of the ubiquitous carbon atom. Molecules formed from carbon and other elements are investigated. Special emphasis will be placed on organic molecules commonly used in everyday life, such as alcohols. The course considers families of carbon compounds, functional groups, synthesis, structural investigation, reactivity, and the recycling of polymers and their impact on the environment. 4 CRED ITS

This introductory course explores the oceans of the world, the living organisms of the ocean, and the vast mineral wealth of the ocean floor. New discoveries in the ocean sciences are discussed. The dynamic, growing field of oceanography and the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of oceans are investigated. 3 CRED ITS

This course introduces basic principles of ecology- the study of relationships among living organisms, their environment and each other. We examine ecological concepts applied to individuals, populations and communities of both plants and animals. Topics include plant and animal adaptations to the environment, the role environmental factors in the distribution and abundance of organisms, the dynamics of population growth, species interactions including competition and predation, the structure of ecological communities, and the application of ecology to problems in conservation. 3 CRED ITS PREREQUISITES: PLACEMENT OR 56-1720 COLLEGE MATHEMATICS OR 56-1728 QUANTITATIVE LITERACY

This course explores the multidisciplinary science of the environment. We focus on contemporary issues such as air and water pollution, global climate change, ozone depletion, acid rain, hazardous and solid waste, alternative energy resources, soils, deforestation, overfishing, biodiversity, and endangered species, and their ecological, economical, and human health impacts. An extensive, hands-on laboratory is a core part of the course. Students develop a final creative project incorporating the skills of their major. 3 CRED ITS

The objective of this seminar is to develop a common language that can interface art and science. The science of space and time will provide the window through which we will analyze the arts. The course will focus on a couple of works from each discipline (Dance, Music, and Film and Video) that illustrate an extraordinary use by an artist of either space or time. Through studying the artwork, students will gain an appreciation not only of the imaginative and compositional expression of space or time in each art form, but also a sense of the connections between the art disciplines. 3 CRED ITS

From a Cirque du Soleil contortionist to an administrative assistant typing dictation, we are always moving. This course investigates human movement in air and water using sports, performing arts, and animation as examples. We explore the physiology of the body's interaction with its environment and integrate biology and physics to describe, define, and understand movement. The hands-on laboratory explores visualization and quantification of movement and includes a final project incorporating each student's interests, majors, and cultural backgrounds with course material. 3 CRED ITS PREREQUISITES: 56-2710 COLLEGE ALGEBRA OR PLACEMENT
