An introduction to Epidemics. What are epidemics and how are they controlled Topics include human pathogens, the process of disease, and how diseases are fought. We will introduce the history of epidemics using Spanish Flu and the Irish Potato famine as socially and medically important events. Bioterrorism and new emerging infectious diseases, including AIDs, show that the study of epidemics is not just about the past. (Fall/Spring/Summer). Liberal arts. Prerequisite: ENG 101 (may be taken concurrently).

4.00 Credits
This course examines the growing problems of world hunger. While we produce more than enough food to feed the world, millions of people are still hungry and malnourished. Can science and technology such as genetic engineering solve the problem of world hunger We will develop the skills and background necessary to understand the fundamental scientific principles and methodologies underlying the problems of and proposed solutions to world hunger. We will also examine some of the key political, social, and economic issues and controversies surrounding the production, distribution, and consumption of food. Laboratory experience. (Spring). Liberal arts.

3.00 Credits
Explores the ways that recreational and illicit drugs interact with the human body. A background in cell biology and nerve physiology will be provided, followed by discussions of specific drugs of abuse and their physical and psychological effects. This course is intended for a non-biology audience and cannot be used for elective credit in biology. (Every Other Fall). Liberal arts.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is intended to provide a survey of the options available in the field of health care. Each week a different health care practitioner from the area will give a 30-40 minute talk followed by a question-and-answer period. Typical presentations will be by a general practice M.D., an M.D. in a specialty (e.g., OB/GYN), a pharmacist, a physical therapist, a dentist, physician's assistant, a medical technologist/cytotechnologist, a nurse, a nurse practitioner, a veterinarian, an athletic trainer, and a chiropractor. The purpose of the course is to provide students interested in health care an opportunity to explore the different fields available. (Every other spring). Liberal arts.
