15 courses with the subject SHL, 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.
SHL 100Principles of Medical Care (Health Science)3
Credit(s) Provides an overview of the field of healthcare and the roles played by various healthcare practitioners. Best practices associated with patient care and healthcare delivery are emphasized. Students develop a personal perspective on their potential for a career in healthcare. For health science majors.
Credit(s) A seminar course intended to include a comprehensive exploration regarding careers in the health sciences guided towards students who have an interest in a potential career in the healthcare profession. Students will learn about the broad variety of career options available in healthcare and engage in hands-on experiences.
SHL 110Applied Human Anatomy & Physiology (Health Science)4
Credit(s) This course provides a background in human anatomy and physiology with an emphasis being placed on the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, respiratory, and nervous systems. Laboratory activities will explore gross anatomy through the use of bones, muscle, heart and lung models, along with creating drawings and models to learn AOls and blood flow. Students will also work with spirometers to explore beating mechanisms and heart models for circulation.
SHL 214Human Anatomy & Physiology I (Health Science)3
Credit(s) This course begins the study of the structure-function relationships within the human body across the cellular, tissue, organ, and organism levels of organization. Topics covered include: homeostasis, organization of the body, the cell, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, the nervous system, special senses, regulatory mechanisms, and the integration across levels of organization and organ systems. Various pathologies will be compared to healthy anatomy and physiology.
SBL 141 and one semester of college level chemistry ( SCH 115 , SCH 140 or similar) or with instructor permission.
SHL 215Human Anatomy & Physiology I Lab (Health Science)1
Credit(s) Designed to reinforce concepts learned in SHL 214 . Topics include: histology and the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Lab activities include dissections of animal specimens with anatomy comparable to humans and computer-simulated physiology experiments.
SHL 216Human Anatomy & Physiology II (Health Science)3
Credit(s) This course continues the study of the structure-function relationships within the human body across the cellular, tissue, organ, and organism levels of organization. Topics covered include: homeostasis, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, renal system, reproductive system, regulatory mechanisms, and the integration across levels of organization and organ systems. Various pathologies will be compared to healthy anatomy and physiology.
SHL 214 with a C- or better; SHL 215 with a C- or better; or with instructor permission.
Corequisite
SHL 217 or with instructor permission.
SHL 217Human Anatomy & Physiology II Lab (Health Science)1
Credit(s) This course utilizes hands-on and application-based approaches to reinforce concepts learned in SHL 216 . Topics include the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, renal, and reproductive systems. Lab activities include bench-top assays, dissections of animal specimens, and work with anatomy models.
Credit(s) This course examines health disparities through a public health lens, emphasizing biological, behavioral, environmental, and socioeconomic determinants of health, systemic inequities, and structural barriers. Students engage in evidence-based analysis, scientific reasoning, advocacy, and service-learning, grounded in Catholic Social Teaching and Seton Hill values. The course develops professional communication, ethical and safe practice, and the ability to analyze root causes and translate scientific and moral knowledge into practical wisdom that promotes justice, solidarity, and common good.
SHL 305Innovations in Health Science (Health Science)3
Credit(s) This course is an informative study of the topic of innovations in Health Science and their practical roles in the field of Health Science. Students will learn to utilize scientific journals to research and write about their relationship between scientists, considerations necessary to develop an innovative treatment or therapy, exploration of current treatments and the process of developing a new product. This course is available only to Health Science majors.
Credit(s) In this capstone seminar, students develop a written proposal that outlines the goals and objectives for the experiential learning element and arrange activities for it. They also compose an essay with supporting evidence illustrating how the Program Learning Objectives have been addressed in courses required for the major.
Practical experience in a hospital, health agency, or other area related to health science. The work must be supervised and evaluated, and a paper submitted.
An intensive field learning experience with a career focus. Activities involve the student in direct work responsibilities under the supervision of a recognized professional in a particular area of health science. A contract must be developed by the student, faculty advisor, and field supervisor before the internship begins.
