Major Courses
Completion of the A.A. General degree to include the following pre-major courses:
BSC1010CGeneral Biology I
This course is primarily for science majors or students with a strong biology background. It is a study of the molecular and cellular composition and function of living organisms. Emphasis will be given to structure, chemical metabolism and genetic mechanisms. Laboratory illustrates basic biological principles. Lab fee required.
BSC2093CAnatomy and Physiology I
This is the first part of a two-semester course that investigates in detail the structure and function of humans. The course is primarily designed for students of health care professions, biology or physical education. We will utilize a "system" approach, examining each organ system at the cellular, tissue, organ and system levels and discuss interactions with other systems. Emphasis will be placed on the homeostatic rather than the dysfunctional individual. Lab fee required.
BSC2094CAnatomy and Physiology II
The second part of a two-semester course that investigates the structure and function of humans. The course is designed for students of health care professions, biology or physical education. We utilize a "systems" approach, examining each organ system at the cellular, tissue, organ and system levels and discuss interactions with other systems. Emphasis will be placed on homeostatic rather than dysfunctional individuals. Lab fee required.
CHM2045CGeneral Chemistry I
This course is a study of the theoretical and descriptive aspects of chemistry. It includes a study of atomic and molecular structure, chemical reactions, the periodic classification of the elements and stoichiometry. Also covered are kinetic molecular theory, gas laws, solutions and thermochemistry. Lab fee required.
CHM2046CGeneral Chemistry II with Qualitative Analysis
Continuation of CHM 2045C with special emphasis on chemical kinetics, equilibrium electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry and thermodynamics. Course stresses integration of chemical knowledge. Laboratory is primarily qualitative analysis. Lab fee required.
CHM2210COrganic Chemistry I
This course provides a basic introduction to all organic functional groups, followed by detailed treatment of the relationship between structure and reactivity. Other topics include stereochemistry, synthesis and spectroscopy. Lab fee required.
CHM2211COrganic Chemistry II
A continuation of CHM 2210C covering the chemistry of aromatic, carbonyl and nitrogen compounds, followed by an introduction to biomolecules. Emphasis will be on reactivity, mechanism and synthesis. Lab fee required.
MCB2010CMicrobiology
A fundamental course in Microbiology designed to fulfill the needs of nursing and medical technology students as well as other allied health majors. The course stresses the structure, nutrition, growth, control, metabolism and introductory genetics of bacteria. Characterization of representative bacteria, fungi and viruses is included. Laboratory experience in techniques and primary isolation will be provided. Lab fee required.
