20 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.
Study of the structure, function, and pathology (disease) of the human body. Students are introduced to various body systems including the musculoskeletal, digestive, nervous, and integumentary, as well as the special senses.
An introduction to the basic principles of human anatomy and physiology as explored through laboratory sessions. Laboratory activities coincide with lectures to enhance understanding of each topic by providing visual and hands-on experiments for the concepts learned in the lecture. Laboratory sessions include microscopy, dissections, and elementary physiological experiments. Among the topics considered are various body systems including the musculoskeletal, digestive, nervous, and integumentary, as well as the general and special senses. Prerequisite or Corequisite: SCI1100
This course explores the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of common diseases as well as the basic principles of pharmacology. Focus is placed on the description of conditions and diseases of the organ systems, including etiology, signs and symptoms, methods of diagnosis, and treatment. The classification, actions, side effects, adverse reactions, sources, and forms of medications will also be explored.
Study of the structure, function, and pathology (disease) of the human body. Students are introduced to various body systems including the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, endocrine, lymphatic, and reproductive systems.
Continues the study of human anatomy and physiology through laboratory exploration. Laboratory activities coincide with lectures to enhance understanding of each topic by providing visual and hands-on experiments for the concepts learned in the lecture. Laboratory sessions include microscopy, dissections, and elementary physiological experiments. Among the topics covered are the cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, endocrine, lymphatic, and reproductive systems. Prerequisite or Corequisite: SCI2100
Provides the learner with an appreciation of the general principles of science and relevance to the student’s future experiences in life. This course is an interdisciplinary approach to all of the natural sciences and their application to human physical, mental, social, and cultural advancement.
Introduces the fascinating and often surprising connections between the brain (mind) and the physical self (body). Topics range from the personal experience of spirituality, sexuality, psychology, perception, sensation, disease, diet, and disorders to our more general interactions with environment, medicine, and culture.
Introduces the biological, cultural, psychological, and developmental aspects of human sexuality. Topics include the anatomy and physiology of reproduction, sexual development and behavior, sexually transmitted infections, gender identity and sexual orientation, and sexual violence.
The morphology and function of microorganisms, especially viruses and bacteria, are studied. The characteristics of microorganisms, the disease process, and the immune response are discussed. 27 SEMESTER CREDIT HOURS REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION
Focuses on the application of science to law. This course introduces students to the field of forensic science through a hands-on approach in its applications to criminal investigations. Students are presented with clear explanations of the techniques, abilities, and limitations of the modern crime laboratory and crime scene.
Provides an introduction to the basic processes of human life and evolution.
Provides an introduction to basic health concepts. This course includes an examination of the principles of human health, personal fitness, nutrition, stress, and an overall understanding of wellness. The focus will be on attaining the necessary knowledge and skills to be an informed healthcare consumer. 466
Involves readings and discussions, at an introductory level, organized around selected topics in science. Topics vary each semester.
An introduction to chemistry, organic chemistry, and biological chemistry for students in nursing and other health science programs. This course expands on foundational knowledge of physiological processes and treatment modalities in human beings. A case study approach will be integrated into the course.
Explores both the biological and sociocultural components of addiction. This course will compare and contrast addictions that affect every individual regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or gender. Students will learn to assess addiction as a disease mediated by both environmental and genetic factors. LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCE CORE COURSES
Investigates aggression and violence within broad biological and cultural contexts. It begins with an overview of the evolution and hormones of aggression and continues with topics including child abuse, bullying, domestic violence, gangs, sexual violence, hate crimes, murder and mass shootings.
An introduction to the basic principles of nutrition and a foundation for wellness. Practical application of essential information and the interrelationships between nutrition, food, and the environment as they impact health status will be explored. Culture/religious beliefs, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and nutritional trends and how they influence the nutritional health of the person will be examined. The nutritional needs associated with obesity and eating disorders, enteral and parenteral nutrition, metabolic and respiratory stress, gastrointestinal disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, renal disorders, cancer, and HIV/AIDS across the lifespan will be discussed. LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCE CORE COURSES
Explores bioethics, the study of the ethical controversies involved in the practice of medicine and biological research. Topics include euthanasia, abortion, doctor/patient confidentiality, human and animal experimentation, genetic engineering, stem cell research, cloning, and access to healthcare.
Incorporates the interconnected concepts of ecology, economy, and ethics to understand real, practical, sustainable solutions. Students will learn how their personal and professional decisions affect the planet as well as their own food security, health, finances and lives.
Involves readings and discussions, at an advanced level, organized around selected topics in science. Topics vary each semester. 468
