4.00 Credits
This course focuses on animals and systems biology, including a survey of animal types and of the organismal biology of animals. Organisms' methods of response and adaptation to the environment and to each other are also emphasized. Laboratory includes dissection of preserved animal specimens. Three class hours and 2 lab hours per week. BIO 152 assumes a basic knowledge of chemistry, cell structure and function, and the concepts explaining the genetic unity and evolutionary diversity of species. Prerequisite: BIO 151 or Permission of Instructor. The combination of BIO 121 and BIO 152 does NOT count as a sequence for the Math/ Science degree.

4.00 Credits
First part of a two-semester study of the structure and function of the human body. Topics include homeostasis, basic chemistry, cell structure and function, tissues, and the following body systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, respiratory, and urinary. The cat is the primary dissection specimen in the laboratory. This course is for students preparing for Nursing, Respiratory Care, Surgical Technology, Physical Therapy Assistant, and other health-related professions. This course is inappropriate for students preparing for medicine or dentistry. It does not fulfill the lab science sequence requirement for most Math/Science students, but does fulfill the science elective requirement for Math/Science students. Three class hours, two laboratory hours. Students are expected to have mastered high school-level biology, chemistry, and algebra, or the college equivalents.

4.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of microorganisms, with an emphasis on clinically relevant organisms. Topics include the structure and function of microbes, including their metabolism and genetics. Infectious diseases and the interactions between microbes and their hosts are also considered. Laboratory exercises emphasize the isolation, identification, and control of microorganisms. Primarily intended for students entering health professions. Not recommended for students with credit in BIO 110 or BIO 150. Three class hours and two lab hours. Prerequisite: BIO 151 or BIO 171, or Permission of Instructor.

3.00 Credits
Starting where introductory biology classes leave off, this course explores AIDS and the pathology of HIV, including the structure and origin of the virus, mechanisms of viral replication, routes of transmission, and consequences of infection. Methods of prevention and treatment also will be discussed, including the biomedical challenges to effective treatment. A review of current testing methods and the prevalence of the disease in various populations will also be discussed, along with the role of the immune system in disease control and progression. This class is appropriate for all students, including nonscience majors, science majors, and students entering the health professions. Three hours of lecture; no lab. Prerequisite: BIO 105 or BIO 121 or BIO 151 or BIO 171.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers the nature, causes, and development of disease conditions, as well as the structural and functional changes that result from the disease process. The principal diagnostic tests and treatments used in the detection and control of diseases will also be considered. Open only to students in the Health Information Technology program. Prerequisites: BIO 171 and BIO 172 (Anatomy and Physiology I and II).
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the biological basis for patterns of inheritance, including the structure, function, and regulation of DNA, genes, and chromosomes. The biochemical nature of mutations will be discussed, along with the potential consequences, both harmful and beneficial. Methods of molecular genetic analysis also will be introduced. This class is intended for Math- Science majors, especially students interested in Biology, Pre-Med, Pre-Vet, Pre-Physician Assistant, or Pre-Dent. Three lecture hours and two lab hours per week. Prerequisite: BIO 151 and BIO 152 (or equivalents) or Permission of Instructor.
-
1.00 Credits
Students will learn the basic skill of "touch" keyboardingon electric and computer keyboards in order to input information into a computer system. Students will learn alphabetic, numeric, and computer function keys. Three laboratory hours per week. Not open to students in Office Technology: Administrative Assistant, Word Processing and Office Technologies: Certificate or students with previous credit for BUS 153.
-
3.00 Credits
An introductory course designed to give the student an overview of the impact of business on society. The course is intended to aid the student in obtaining a clear understanding of the way in which contemporary business functions through the interrelationships of marketing, management, and finance. Not open to students with previous credit in BUS 121 and/or BUS 230.
-
3.00 Credits
( 3) A study of mathematical concepts and processes as applied to business and finance. Students will develop skills required to perform with accuracy and facility mathematical operations integral to the interpretation and solution of business problems. Arithmetic operations, signed numbers, linear equations, percentage and statistical procedures, are applied to such topics as accounting, retailing, risk management, banking, and finance. This course is a core course for the Business Technology A.A.S. degree and may be used to fulfill a business or general elective requirement. Prerequisite: MAT 087 or equivalent or Permission of Instructor.
