BIO 101-102 Principles of Biology (annual)

An introductory two-semester course that presents the basic principles and processes of biological science. The first semester includes the structure and function of the cell, cellular metabolism, cell reproduction, plant physiology, and genetics. The second semester includes reproductive systems, development and differentiation, hormonal and nervous control, and the immune response. Laboratory exercises include microscopy, cellular reproduction, enzyme activity, animal and plant development, comparative studies of animal and plant cells, and vertebrates. 4 credits each

BIO 222-223 Anatomy and Physiology (annual)

An introductory two-semester course with labs which studies the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs and systems of the body. Emphasis is on the structural basis for function, and the coordinated functioning of all the organ systems for maintaining homeostasis. 4 credits each.

CPC 101-102 Principles of Inorganic Chemistry (annual)

Topics covered include nomenclature, stoichiometric relationships, atomic structure, bonding and states of matter. In addition, topics treated include chemical equilibria, free energy and entropy, acid-base reactions, oxidation reduction and electro-chemistry, complexions, reaction rates, radioactivity, and elementary concepts of organic chemistry. Laboratory work deals with experiments illustrating the principles taught in lecture and qualitative analysis.
4 credits each.

CPC 311 Biochemistry (annual)

Emphasis on the chemical descriptions of the basic biological systems such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Aspects dealt with in lectures and labs are structure, metabolism, functions in the cell, and control mechanisms. 4 credits.
4 credits

MAT121: Statistics

Fundamental concepts and methods of statistics with emphasis on interpretation of statistical arguments. An introduction to design of experiments, data analysis, correlation and regression, concepts of probability theory, sampling errors, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests. 3 credits.

MAT221: Calculus

Continuity, limits, differentiation, and integration of polynomial, exponential, and trigonometric functions. Applications to geometry, physics, and other areas.
