13 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.
An understanding of the world in the light of scientific discovery. A survey is made of physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and environmental studies. Early Childhood and Middle Level Education majors must take corresponding laboratory.
An introduction to biology. Topics covered included basic chemistry, cell structure and function, genetics, and biotechnology. An overview of the major groups of organisms is included with an emphasis on the species that affect human health.
This course focuses on various systems of the human body including the integumentary, musculoskeletal, nervous, and sensory systems. The laboratory highlights topics covered in the lecture including anatomical terminology, cell and tissue structure, and nervous and muscular system form and function. The course consists of three hours lecture and two and one-half hours laboratory per week. SCI 133 is the prerequisite for SCI 233 Human Anatomy and Physiology II. A grade of at least a C in SCI 133 is necessary to continue on to SCI 233. Lab fee: $140
A study of the relationships and interactions between living organisms and their environment. Attention is given to ecosystems, use of natural resources, pollution, and endangered species. Early Childhood and Middle Level Education majors must take corresponding laboratory.
This course introduces students to the disciplines represented by the earth sciences. An earth system science approach is used, emphasizing the interac- tion between the various components of the earth system. Basic principles of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy are explored with a focus on the importance of stewardship of the earth. For Deaf students only.
This course focuses on various systems of the human body including the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, endocrine, immune, and reproductive systems with attention to human development.
