One hour of lecture and discussion per week. This course will focus on the effective dissemination of research results including completion of a formal written research paper and oral presentation. Prerequisite: 489 or 498. Restricted to students with senior standing. (Equal to NEUR 499)
Three hours lecture/two hours lab per week. An introduction to the scientific process and major conceptual schemes of chemistry. The course is designed specifically for those students who have had little or no chemistry. Topics covered include: chemical bonds, chemical equations, acid base chemistry, gas laws, and nuclear chemistry. Completion of this course with a grade of C or higher satisfies the high school chemistry prerequisite of other courses in the Natural Science Division. NS
Three hours of lecture/two hours lab per week. This course is the study of the fundamental principles of chemistry, with an emphasis on bonding, properties of solutions and gases, and organic and biochemistry which is needed by students interested in careers in nursing and allied health professions. The concepts of this course are important for a full understanding of anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and nutrition. Prerequisite: C or higher in 101 or placement. Corequisite: CHEM-106L. NS
Designed for new students intending a course of study in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, biopsychology, environmental biology, sports science and leadership, and/or one of the health science pre-professional programs such as pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, or pre-pharmacy. The emphasis will be on development of effective learning skills based on learning preferences.
Three hours lecture/three hours lab per week. Fundamental laws and theories. Topics include chemical stoichiometry, thermochemistry, reactions in solution including acid-base and oxidation-reduction, atomic structure and bonding, and the states of matter. Prerequisites: one year of high school chemistry with grades of C or higher; placement into MATH 112 or higher. Students placed into MATH 112 are required to enroll in MATH 112 concurrent with enrollment in CHEM 120. NS
Three hours lecture/three hours lab per week. A continuation of 120. Topics include physical properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium including acid-base, hydrolysis, solubility, and complex ion, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Prerequisite: C or higher in 120.
Three hours lecture/two hours lab per week. The chemistry of organic compounds: functional groups, types of reactions, stereochemistry, and selected reaction mechanisms. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 106 or 120.
Three hours lecture per week. Basic principles and theories of immune mechanisms. Antibody production, antibody-antigen reactions, hypersensitivity, cellular immunity, tumor immunology. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 250; 251 highly recommended.
Six hours lecture/lab per week. This course describes the molecular basis of inheritance in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Focuses include: classical genetic theory, control of gene expression, chromosome structure, evolutionary and population genetics, and applications of genetic technology. Prerequisites: 250; grade of C or higher in CHEM 120; 251 highly recommended.
Three hours of lecture/three hours of lab per week. Human Anatomy is a junior/senior level course that provides an introduction to human gross anatomy. The major body systems will be covered during lecture. Lab will focus on anatomical structure with the cat as our model. Additionally, human models and bones will be used to achieve an understanding of human structure. Offered every fall. Prerequisite: grade of C or higher in 250 or 251. Restricted to students with junior standing or higher.
