11 courses with the subject BPH, 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.
BPH 300Human Biology (3 cr.)
This course introduces fundamental aspects of human physiology with emphasis on organ systems, their components, and their functions. Students compare states of health and disease across the lifespan spectrum. Topics include introductions to human physiology, organ systems, cell biology, and genetics. The molecular bases for physiologic processes are introduced. The roles of exercise, nutrition, lifestyle, aging, and the environment on states of health are introduced in relation to fundamental physiological principles. Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to do the following. Describe the functions of different organ systems and their constituent components. Explain what a gene is and how genetic regulation and differences contribute to normal physiology as well as diversity and disease. Demonstrate an understanding of how lifestyle affects physiology and ultimately an individual’s state of health or disease.
This course provides an overview of the discipline of public health by introducing concepts and structures essential to the promotion of a healthy society. Emphasis is placed on viewing health and disease from a population perspective in comparison to that of the individual. The history of the field of public health, the major institutions in the U.S. and worldwide, and critical concepts such as the roles of communication, human behavior, and cultural competence are introduced.
BPH 405Measurement and Statistics for Health Professionals (3 cr.)
This course introduces students to the use of data, measurement, and basic statistics in the field of public health. This introduction to biostatistics provides an overview of data collection, sample sizes, normality of data sets, basic measurement statistics, parametric and non-parametric statistical comparisons, and statistical significance. Students apply concepts through in-class labs and real world data collection.
