3-semester credits Lecture: Four 50-minute sessions per week for 10 weeks This course, with breaks, is assigned 4.5 hours weekly for lecture. A passing grade in this course is required for admission into the College. SCI 101 is divided into two parts over ten weeks. Mathematical concepts important in medical dosage calculations and intravenous flow rates are discussed during the first four weeks. The latter part of the term focuses on selected topics in chemistry with particular relevance to the health field. This portion of the course includes topics in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry with emphasis on the major organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins). This course may be taken with NUR 121: Clinical Nursing Skills.

4-semester credits (3 Lecture/1 Lab) Lecture: Three 50-minute session per week for 15 weeks Lab: Two 50-minute sessions per week for 15 weeks This course, with breaks, is assigned 3 hours for lecture and 2 hours for lab, for a total of 5 hours on the same or differing days. Two major themes are emphasized throughout this course – the organization of the human body, and the principles of support and locomotion in the body. The study of the organization of the human body examines the relationship between body structure and function. Students are introduced to gross anatomy, histology of the four major tissue types, and normal physiology. The concept of homeostasis and its role is introduced. Microscopy, cell structure, and function are also covered in this course. Major systems discussed in detail include the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems. Lecture, laboratory investigations, and demonstrations are integrated throughout the course.

3-semester credits (2 Lecture/1 Lab) Lecture: Two 50-minute sessions per week for 15 weeks Lab: Two 50-minute sessions per week or 15 weeks This course, with breaks, is assigned 2 hours for lecture and 2 hours for lab, for a total of 4 hours on the same or differing days. Three major themes are emphasized throughout this course – the organization of the human body, the principles of support and locomotion in the body, and the nervous system. The study of the organization of the human body examines the relationship between body, structure, and function. Students are introduced to gross anatomy, histology of the four major tissue types, and normal physiology. The concept of homeostasis and its relevance in maintaining normal body function is introduced. Microscopy, cell structure, and function are also covered in this course. Major systems discussed in detail include the integumentary, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems. Lecture, laboratory investigations, and demonstrations are carefully integrated throughout the course.

This course extensively discusses the second major control system of the human body – the endocrine systems – with relevance to maintaining homeostasis in the body. Another major component of this course is the concept of continuity of life, concerning male and female reproductive systems and developmental biology. Principles of heredity (inheritance) and genetics are introduced; thus, serving as a framework for discussion of the pathophysiology of common genetic abnormalities. This course also examines the structure and function of the cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems. Nutrition and metabolism are discussed in conjunction with the digestive system. The study of fluid-electrolytes and acid-base balance is explored to fully understand their relation to buffer systems, respiratory and renal physiology in the maintenance of homeostasis. Lecture, laboratory investigations, and demonstrations are carefully integrated throughout the course.

The structural and physiological characteristics of the major types of microorganisms are discussed in this course. Host-parasite relationships, as well as the methods used to destroy and control the transmission of microorganisms, are treated. Principles of immunology as they pertain to infection by microorganisms are also reviewed and reinforced. Basic principles of the epidemiology of selected infectious diseases are elaborated. Lecture, laboratory investigations, and laboratory demonstrations are integrated throughout the course.

4-semester credits Lecture: Four 50-minute sessions per week for 15 weeks This course, with breaks is assigned to 3 hours weekly for lectures. This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to physics. To give them a solid foundation, students review principles of organic chemistry and biochemistry during the first three weeks of the semester. They are then introduced to physics: the study of how objects behave. Topics will include mechanics and the characteristics of substances, sound, electricity, vector forces, motions, magnetism, and radiation.

3-semester credits Lecture: Three 50-minute sessions per week for 15 weeks This course, with breaks is assigned to 3 hours weekly for lectures. This course focuses on the major concepts of pathophysiology; the study of the biological and physical manifestations of diseases as they correlate with underlying abnormal and physiologic disturbances. Students will examine phenomena that produce alterations in normal human functioning processes (homeostasis) caused by diseases and the resulting adaptation to disease processes. The major emphasis will be on the physiological factors – both physical and biochemical – that underlie disease states. The course will also focus on the incidence, etiology, courses, and clinical manifestations of the local and systemic body responses, which reflect a disease process. The impact of environmental health influences in an urban setting will be discussed. Students will learn how to identify both local and systemic reactions within the body that result in the signs and symptoms of diseases, as well as understand the rationale for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in disease conditions.
