A.A. Degree, General
Pre-major, Forensic Science
Subplan Code: SCI-FNSC
CIP: 1192401010
This program is designed to meet the common prerequisites required for students transferring with an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree to the Forensic Science major at a public college or university in the State of Florida. Students will complete the A.A., General degree, including common program prerequisites for their program of choice. Students must work with SCC Student Services counselors, advisers or specialists to make sure required courses are taken and entry requirements are met for the college/university program of choice. It is the students' responsibility to contact the Student Services Advising staff to ensure that their degree program at SCC contains the appropriate courses and prerequisites for their selected baccalaureate degree program. Students may also refer to the online A.A. Transfer Evaluation through www.FACTS.org for further information on their transfer program of choice.
| Major Courses |
|---|
| Completion of the A.A. General degree to include the following pre-major courses: |
| BSC1010C | General 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. |
| CHM2045C | General 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. |
| CHM2046C | General 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. |
| MAC2311 | Analytic Geometry and Calculus I
This is a first course in analytic geometry and the theory and application of calculus. Selected topics include a review of functions, limits and continuity, the derivative, differentiation of algebraic and transcendental functions and their inverses, the Mean Value and Intermediate Value Theorems, extrema and graph sketching, area and the definite integral, anti-differentiation and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and integration of transcendental functions and their inverses. The graphing calculator will be used throughout the course. Students should ask the instructor which calculator will be used. This course partially satisfies the mathematics requirement (S.B.E. 6A-10.030). |
| MAC2312 | Analytic Geometry and Calculus II
This course is a continuation of MAC 2311. Selected topics include conics, translation and rotation of axes, techniques of integration, arc length and other applications of the definite integral, polar coordinates, indeterminate forms and improper integrals, infinite sequences and series and Taylor's Formula. The graphing calculator will be used throughout the course. Students should ask the instructor which calculator will be used. This course partially satisfies the mathematics requirement (S.B.E. 6A-10.030). |
| Choose from the following CHM or PHY sequence: |
|---|
| CHM2210C | Organic 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. |
| CHM2211C | Organic 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. |
| or |
| PHY1053C | General Physics I
A descriptive and quantitative study of kinematics, mechanics, energy and applications of mechancis. This course meets the requirements for professional and technical students needing an algebra-based physics course. Lab fee required. |
| PHY1054C | General Physics II
A descriptive and quantitative study of light, electricity, magnetism, atoms and nuclei. This course meets the requirements for professional and technical students needing an algebra-based physics course. Lab fee required. |
