-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the principles of biology including the biochemistry of living organisms, ecology, botany, and a study of the characteristics of the organisms in the five kingdoms. Prerequisite: one college sciencecourse; NSC 141 would be helpful, but is not essential. Lecture, 3 hours; lab, 2 hours. Offered spring, even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of NSC 145 with an emphasis on solution chemistry, acid base equilibria, solubility, kinetics, electrochemistry, quantitative analysis and thermodynamics. Lecture, 3 hours; lab, 3 hours. Prerequisite: NSC 145 or the equivalent. Offered spring.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the principles of astronomy, geology, meteorology, chemistry, and physics. Emphasis will be given to the processes of science as well as the content and to the application of technology to problem-solving. Lecture: 3 hours; Lab: 2 hours. Prerequisite: Math ACT score of at least 22, or MAT 147 or higher.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the normal structure and function of the human body. The course covers principles of the chemistry compounds (biochemistry), cells, tissue, and organs of the body. Four systems are studied for gross and microscopic anatomy and normal functioning; these are integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. The lab work emphasizes microscopic work on cells and tissues, study of bones and tissues, and dissections of brain and eyeball. Lecture 3 hours, lab 3 hours. Prerequisite or co-requisite: NSC 135 or equivalent. Offered fall. Designed for students interested in the nursing program; other students should take NSC 310. Students cannot earn credit for both NSC 210 and NSC 310.
-
4.00 Credits
Continuation of NSC 310. This class includes study of the respiratory, circulatory (blood, heart, vessels), lymphatic, urinary, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Normal anatomy and physiology is emphasized, but some pathology is included. Lab work includes dissection of body systems, plus selected physiology experiments in respiratory volumes, blood and blood genetics, urinalysis, and digestion rates. Critical thinking is developed using clinical examples. The students conduct research as group projects, such as nutrition, development of science events for teens, or clinical interviews. Lecture 3 hours, lab 3 hours. Prerequisites: NSC 210 and NSC 135 or equivalents. Offered spring. Designed for students interested in the nursing program; other students should take NSC 311. Students cannot earn credit for both NSC 211 and NSC 311.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of the Universe, including the latest theories on the origin of the Universe, the solar system and the Earth. Covered will be the origin of galaxies, stars, planets, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, etc., stressing modern techniques of gathering information about the Universe. The lab portion of the course will include observations of the sky, use of telescopes, and use of the celestial sphere and star charts. May also include planetarium visits and other astronomy-related field trips. Offered on spring, even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of the origin, composition, structure, and processes of the Earth are covered. The physical, chemical, and biological processes that shape the Earth will be studied in light of the concept of global plate tectonics and the interaction of Earth's subsystems (the lithosphere, iosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere). Offered spring, odd-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the principles of physics to include mechanics, heat, and wave motion. Lecture, 3 hours; lab, 3 hours. Prerequisite: MAT 151 or permission of the instructor. Offered fall, odd-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of NSC 244 with an emphasis on electricity, magnetism, and optics. Lecture, 3 hours; lab, 3 hours. Prerequisite: NSC 244. Offered spring, even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
Study of characteristic reactions, synthesis, and stereochemistry of major classes of organic compounds using a mechanistic approach. Classes of compounds studied include alkanes, alkyl halides, alkenes, and alcohols. Mechanisms studied include: free radical halogenation, nucleophilic substitution, nucleophilic addition, and electrophilic addition. Includes lab portion which provides an introduction to microscale techniques of organic chemistry preparation and purification. Techniques studied will be re-crystallization, distillation, extraction and preparation of simple aliphatic compounds. (3 lecture hours and 3 lab hours per week.) Prerequisites: NSC 146 or equivalent. Offered fall, odd-numbered years.
