13 courses with the subject LS, 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.
In this class, you will learn all about the various scientific concepts, principles, and methodologies of environmental science, the study of the natural world. Topics explored include water pollution, air toxicity, and laboratory experiments to help master these topics.
This course provides a basic understanding of key chemistry principles needed for students pursuing majors in the sciences and in health professions. Topics covered will include energy and measurement in chemistry, the theory of atomic structure, chemical bonds and periodicity, types of chemical reactions, chemical bonding, acids and bases, chemical reations and equilibria, and the study of matter, solutions, acids, and bases.
LS190a Chemistry II Lab. ..........................................................................................................1
LS192a Biology I Lab. ...............................................................................................................1 LS193AH Nutrition. .......................................................................................................................3
Is an overview of the science of nutrition, the physiology of digestion, and the chemistry and function of fats, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals. By emphasizing appropriate nutritional practices, it is the intention of this course that knowledge of personal wellness be incorporated into each individual’s daily living.
This course is a study of microorganisms and the manner in which they affect health; characteristics, growth requirements, methods of transfer and reactions of the body toward invading organisms; principles underlying immunity; food, water industrial and ecological microbiology. The microbial world is composed of an incredibly diverse group of microorganisms. Therefore, this course will also include host defense mechanisms that interact with microorganisms. Ultimately, the student will understand the history of microbiology and how microbes are grown, studied, and controlled. Further, the student will also understand the types of diseases that viral, fungal, and bacterial pathogens can cause, and the general mechanisms of how they cause disease.
Covers the study of basic molecular and cellular functions, as well as the structure, functions, basic disease processes, and common diagnostic tests of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. Can be taken concurrently with
This course and associated lab explores the principles of medical microbiology and infectious disease. The course covers an overview of the microbial origin of disease, principles of aseptic practice, modern diseases of concern, and methods of microbial control. The course also provides the conceptual basis for understanding pathogenic microorganisms, the mechanisms by which they cause disease in the human body, and the host inflammatory and immune response to pathogens. The biology of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens and the diseases they cause are examined. The lab develops diagnostic skills, including the use and interpretation of laboratory tests in the identification and diagnosis of infectious diseases.

LS198a Biology II Lab. ..............................................................................................................1
LL52 Interpersonal Communications. ....................................................................................3
This course explores the molecular, cellular, and population foundations of human genetics, emphasizing biochemical mechanisms of inheritance and their clinical implications. Students investigate mutation, chromosomal abnormalities, multifactorial disorders, and genomics in health and disease. Students will connect gene-level mechanisms to real-world medical, ethical, and public- health outcomes.
Covers the study of basic molecular and cellular functions, as well as the structure, functions, basic disease processes, and common diagnostic tests of the endocrine, integumentary, nervous, immune and lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, senses, and reproductive systems. Nutrition is also introduced. Can be taken concurrently with LS195 Human Anatomy and Physiology I with approval. LS6000a Human Anatomy and Physiology II Lab 1 credit A study of basic molecular and cellular functions, as well as the structure, functions, basic disease processes, and common diagnostic tests of the endocrine, integumentary, blood, nervous, immune and lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, senses, and reproductive systems. The course will provide students with hands-on exploration of the anatomical structure and physiology of the human body by using various dissected models, Interactive pictures, videos, microscope slides, and laboratory performances.
