13 courses with the subject HSC, 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.
HSC 101Introduction to Health Sciences
This course will examine the details regarding the focus and scope of practice for various health care professions. Practitioner roles as part of an inter-professional health care team will be explored. The U.S. health care system will be briefly discussed including policies, areas of reform, and reimbursement. Health care professions will be presented through discussion and lecture. Students’ knowledge will be further augmented via case studies, classroom assignments and presentations. This course will enhance the ability of students to make decisions regarding future areas of professional study and increase their understanding of health care as a whole. 1 credit 142
This course will provide students with essential life-saving skills necessary to act as first responders in emergency situations. First responders evaluate and treat patients, acting as transitional care givers until more advanced medical help arrives. In addition, this course will address psychological and ethical issues related to emergency medical care. Successful completion of this course could lead to CPR/AED and First Aid certification.
HSC 103Standard Safety Precautions for Healthcare Professionals3
This course presents an overview of universal/standard precautions recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), reviews the Office of Safety and Health Administration's blood borne pathogen regulations, and covers prevention of transmission of various infectious diseases. Responding to emergency situations (fire, medical codes, chemical exposures, etc.) will be covered. 1 credit HSC 200 (PH 200) Global Health The course introduces critical global health concepts, including the delivery of healthcare and health ethics. It compares global data to data from the US to understand the social determinants of health and healthcare. The course covers several topics, including global health priorities, socioeconomic and environmental determinants of health, the relationship between health and human rights, and global health ethics. 3 credits HSC 201 (PH 201) Cultural Competencies in Healthcare The course examines the influence of cultural beliefs, values, and practices on health and illness and healthcare provision. It uses recent models and scenarios to enhance the ability to understand, evaluate, and provide culturally sensitive and competent human services to a diverse population. The course elaborates on the conceptual framework by exploring the relevant concepts, such as cultural competence, diversity, and health equity; studies health disparities and social determinations of health and the impact of religions and spirituality on cultural diversity; and focuses on specific populations, including the elderly, sexual minorities, and people with disabilities.
This course provides an introduction to human anatomy and body systems. The laws of physics are used to explain several bodily functions including the mechanics of muscles and body movements, fluid mechanics of blood and air flow, hearing and acoustic properties of the ears, vision optics, heat and energy, acoustics and electrical signaling. The effects of various environmental phenomena on the body are explored.
This course is designed to prepare the Health Science student to understand the relationship of the musculoskeletal system and how it correlates to the development and mechanics of body movements. Other course components include analysis of movement, anatomical planes, and physiological and psychological principles affecting human movement and sports function. This course will also focus on correct postural alignment to initiate and sustain an effective training response to reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, the student will complete multiple case studies related to data collection and treatment of the patient. Three hours of lecture per week. 3 credits

BIOLOGY/BIOTECHNOLOGY DUAL-DEGREE PROGRAM (DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY) Carlow University students majoring in biology may combine a Bachelor of Science degree with a Master of Science degree in collaboration with Duquesne University Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences. Students complete required molecular/cellular biology courses at Carlow University, and qualified students apply for admission to the Master of Science program. After the first four years of study, students will have earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from Carlow University. After completion of the fifth year at Duquesne University, students will have earned a Master of Science in biotechnology. Examples of courses taken in the Master of Science degree program include Elements of Biotechnology, Biotechnology Leadership, Ethics in Biotechnology, and Bioanalytical Chemistry. Students completing this program will have the added expertise and training for careers in industry, government, and academia. BIOLOGY/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT DUAL-DEGREE PROGRAM (DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY) In collaboration with Duquesne University’s Bayer School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Carlow students interested in applied ecology may complete a five-year Bachelor of Science/Master of Science program. Students complete required biology/organismal biology and ecological courses in residence at Carlow. During the third academic year, qualified students apply for admission to the Master of Science program. Those admitted complete their fourth and fifth years in residence at Duquesne University. At the conclusion of the fourth year, students will have earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from Carlow. Upon completion of the fifth year, students will have earned a Master of Science degree in environmental science and management from Duquesne University. Examples of courses taken in the master’s degree component include Environmental Microbiology, Environmental Toxicology, Air Quality, Business Ethics, Environmental Management, and Environmental Law. The students graduating from this collaborative program 81
This course provides an introduction to audiological science. Students will demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of the essentials of hearing science, basic audiological practices, audiometric interpretation, auditory pathologies and associated audiological findings, and management of hearing disorders. 3 credits
This course provides an introduction to phonetics. This includes broad coverage in articulatory phonetics, speech acoustics, speech aerodynamics, speech perception, and phonetic transcription. Particular topics covered include place and manner of articulation, airstream mechanisms, the aerodynamic myoelastic theory of vocal fold vibration, source-filter theory, the relation between airflow and turbulence, resonance and anti-resonance, speech suprasegmentals, hearing mechanisms, perceptual distance and scales, phonological features, and allophony.
This course focuses on the acoustic principles of speech and hearing; analysis of the acoustic characteristics of speech and physiological correlates; and speech perception.
Health Science Seminar is designed to provide students majoring in the Health Sciences with experience in reading, writing and presenting scientific information related to the discipline. This course will introduce undergraduate students in Health Science to literature searches, current topics in the field, research and research methods, and critical evaluation of data. Students will be able to synthesize liberal arts perspectives, within the framework of the Health Science discipline to support robust analysis of specific issues, topics, or ideas in the Health Sciences. Junior Seminar also serves as a preparation (and a prerequisite) for Senior Experience (HSC-400).
This course is designed to prepare the Health Science student to perform comprehensive healthcare assessments on individuals of various age groups. Other course components include a specific emphasis on patient health history, thorough physical examination, standardized tests, and developmental screenings. This course will also focus on health risks and identification of stressors during an accurate healthcare assessment. 3 credits Pre-requisites for this course: BIO-205 and BIO-206
Health Science Capstone is designed to provide students majoring in health science with experience in reading and writing scientific information focusing on an area of specialization within the profession. Capstone projects will be inquiry and practice-centered and will draw upon areas of interest to the student and focus from the program.
