17 courses with the subject SCI, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
SCI 104Freshman Seminar/Science1
SPRING The goal of this course is to explore the integration of science with a Christian worldview. The course will meet weekly to discuss a range of topics including the environment, food, bioethics, creation/evolution and more. This will be a small group to facilitate discussion and growth as scientific thinkers who honor Christ.
FALL Environmental Science lecture and lab course explores the interrelationships between humans and the natural environment, emphasizing ecological principles, biodiversity, and sustainability. Key topics include climate change, pollution, natural resource management, and human population dynamics. The lab component involves hands-on experiments and fieldwork that reinforce concepts such as water and soil testing, energy use, and ecological footprint analysis.
The course will focus on various aspects of living a healthy lifestyle including exercise, nutrition, and stress management. Students will gain an understanding of basic exercise principles and exercise programming, how nutrition contributes to overall health and the interactions between psychological health and physical health. Course assignments will encourage students to incorporate wellness activities into their daily lives. Additionally, the course will explore spiritual aspects of wellness.
This course is designed to give insight, appreciation, and understanding of the plant and animal world. Major concepts covered include cellular biology, biochemistry, photosynthesis and respiration, genetics, and embryology. Includes lab requirement.
This course will provide an in-depth, hands-on study of natural hazards, their geography, and their impact on societies worldwide. The course will focus on a variety of natural hazards and related disasters including flooding, volcanoes, landslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunami. Includes lab requirement.
A course designed to create awareness and understanding of the relationship of living things to their environment. Each student should not only gain a greater appreciation of God’s creation but should also better understand his or her role in God’s creation. Includes lab requirement.
SCI 240Introduction to Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology4
FALL This course will introduce the student to foundational principles in the management, assessment, ecology, and control of populations of fish and wildlife. Conservation Biology will investigate current environmental issues such as habitat and biodiversity loss, invasive species impacts, and protection of endangered species. One lab per week.
SPRING A one semester survey of the major concepts of the biological sciences. Topics covered include biological chemistry; cell biology and cell reproduction; photosynthesis and respiration; Mendelian and molecular genetics; reproduction and development; origins; and ecology. This course should not be taken in addition to BIO 143 . One laboratory per week.
FALL This course is an introduction to major concepts and principles of the physical sciences, including chemistry, physics, astronomy and geology. In addition to the class lectures there is one laboratory per week.
SPRING This course provides a broad overview of basic nutrition science. Students will become familiar with: the role of nutrition in health, the principles of diet planning, the rationale for dietary standards and food labeling, and the biological functions and food sources of basic nutrients. The aim is to introduce students to the key principles of nutrition science and help them use these principles to make healthy life choices.
SPRING Overview of health and wellness across the lifespan, at the local, national and international level. The course will also look at considerations of health affected by societal influences including differences across diverse populations. Offered alternate years (odd)
