3.00 Credits
A study of ecology with special emphasis on the impact of humans on the environment. Following an introduction to biological and ecological concepts, contemporary environment issues will be examined. Topics include population growth and world hunger, pollution problems and their effects, resource depletion, and viable alternatives to environmental problems. Political, ethical, and social implications will also be discussed. Field trips will be planned, depending on season and time during which course is offered. (Three hour lecture/no laboratory)
-
4.00 Credits
Crime scene investigations are studied by incorporating real-life forensic applications to a variety of science topics. Cellular biology, anthropology, biotechnology, genetics, physics and chemistry concepts will be addressed in both lecture and laboratory as applied to modern day forensics. This course is designed for the non-science major.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure and function of the major organ systems of the human body. After a brief examination of cellular and tissue structure, the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems are studied. Laboratory will include experiments in cell physiology, microscopic review of prepared tissue slides, practical study of human bones, and dissection of rat and sheep organs. (Three hour lecture/two hour laboratory) Prerequisite: BI 101
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Biology 201. Sense organs, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems of the human body are discussed. Laboratory will include dissection of the cat and demonstration of physiological principles. (Three hour lecture/two hour laboratory) Prerequisite: BI 201
-
4.00 Credits
This is a basic course in the principles of microbiology. Special emphasis is placed on the medical and clinical aspects of microbiology. This includes cultural, morphological, biochemical, and microscopic characteristics of bacteria. Mycology, virology and parasitology are also covered along with the disease process of each organism. In the laboratory isolation, cultivation and microscopic examination of bacteria, fungi and parasites will be covered. Additionally, the student will become familiar with different staining techniques, media preparation and antibiotic sensitivity tests. (Three lecture hours/three laboratory hours) Prerequisite: BI 101
-
3.00 Credits
Medical Terminology is an exploration of common medical language with a focus on understanding word components and the clinical usage in terms of relation to human body systems. (Three hour lecture; no laboratory)
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course in applied microbiology with emphasis on organisms affecting animal species. General microbiological concepts and principles are covered in lecture and laboratory. Topics include: taxonomy, biology of micro-organisms, pathogenic organisms, mycology, virology, bacteriology, immunity, zoonosis, public health, antimocrobial sensitivity testing, sterilization, disinfectation, safety and the microbiology of milk. Laboratory exercises are used to supplement lecture material while stressing safety and procedural techniques using materials to culture and identify organisms. (3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory) Prerequisite: VT110, VT111
-
1.00 Credits
Course Objective: This course would be designed to give the student greater depth of knowledge in a particular topic of interest in any of the biological sciences, including but not limited to general biology, ecology, anatomy and physiology, or microbiology. For example, Allied Health Transfer- Pre Radiologic Science or Allied Health Transfer-Pre Nursing majors might complete a paper or a project on the physiology or pathophysiology of selected organ systems of the body with which they foresee themselves working. Students interested in ecology could visit a recycling plant and write a paper on the subject. The student would complete a minimum of 30 hours of work. Prerequisite: Permission of the Program Director.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces the International System of Units (SI); concepts of matter; atomic theory; periodic table and periodicity; structure of compounds; chemical nomenclature; calculations/stoichiometry; chemical equations. (Three hours lecture; two hours laboratory). Prerequisites: Score>10.6 on school’s math placement test or have a passing grade in required developmental math classes.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Chemistry I. Gas laws; liquids and solids; water; solutions; acids, bases, and ionic equations; oxidation-reduction equations; chemical equilibria; organic and biochemistry fundamentals. (Three hours lecture; two hours laboratory). Prerequisite: CH 101
