BS 101 General Biology I (F)
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: EN 090, EN 099, MT 090, and MT 099 OR minimum acceptable
test scores for placement in college-level math and English.
A Laboratory Course: 3 hours lecture and 2 hours laboratory work
each week.
This course will introduce concepts of cell structure, function,
and reproduction. Common biochemical phenomena, particularly the
metabolic processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration,
will be surveyed by the course. A description of the form and the
function of DNA will be related to mechanisms of inheritance. The
highlights of Darwins theory of natural selection and other
aspects of evolutionary theory will be explored.
BS
102 General Biology II (S)
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: EN 090, EN 099, MT 090, and MT 099 OR minimum acceptable
test scores for placement in college-level math and English.
A Laboratory Course: 3 hours lecture and 2 hours laboratory work
each week.
This course will introduce and explore the basic principles of
ecology. An overview and comparison of vertebrate organ systems
will be presented. The course will also survey the taxonomy and
organization of the plant and animal kingdoms.
BS
115 Human Biology (F)
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: EN 090 and EN 099 OR minimum acceptable test scores for
placement in college-level English.
An introductory course in anatomy and physiology that covers all
systems of the human body. This course deals with the complexities
of human structure and function in a simple way, without losing
the essence and meaning of the material. This course is intended
for non-science majors and is not for students in science or
allied health fields.
BS
124 Human Anatomy and Physiology I (F)
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: EN 090 and EN 099 OR minimum acceptable test scores for
placement in college-level English.
Laboratory Course: 3 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory work each week.
An anatomy-physiology course that examines the general plan of
body cells, tissues, and six major systems. Includes the function
of integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, somatic and special
senses, and the endocrine systems. A laboratory course designed to
unify basic concepts of inorganic and organic chemistry to bring
about a better understanding of the structure and function of the
human body as relevant to health care.
BS
125 Human Anatomy and Physiology II (S)
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: BS 124.
Laboratory Course: 3 hours lecture, 2 hours laboratory work each
week.
A continuation of BS 124, Human Anatomy and Physiology I, that
examines six major systems including human growth and development,
and genetics. Includes the structure and function of the
circulatory, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and
reproductive systems. The course is designed to emphasize the
complimentary nature of structure and function, homeostasis and
homeostatic mechanisms, the interaction of humans and their
environment, metabolic processes, responses to stress, and
pathological disorders, so that students will have a better
understanding of the human body relevant to health.
BS
127 Microbiology for Allied Health (O)
3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: BS 124 and formal admission to Allied Health degree
programs or admission to the Sterile Processing Technician
Certificate Program.
This course is for Allied Health
students formally admitted to an Allied Health program. Please
refer to appropriate program curriculum.
This course provides people desiring to work in the health care
professions with basic knowledge and principles of microbiology
and epidemiology. The course will take a portal of entry approach
to understanding epidemiology. Diseases are categorized by portal
of entry used to invade the human body and are subcategorized by
the type of infectious agent.
BS
216 Microbiology (F/S)
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: BS 101 or BS 124 and CH 203 or CH 213.
A Laboratory Course: 3 hours lecture and 2 hours laboratory work
each week.
Concentrates on the physiology, genetics, immunology of
microorganisms, and on pathogenesis and the nature of microbial
diseases. The laboratory work emphasizes basic microbiological
techniques.
BS
275 Special Topics in Biological Science (O)
1-3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: Permission of Division Chair.
Presents courses in Biological Science which the College expects
to offer only once or occasionally in response to specific
community needs. The course may consist of seminars, specialized
or individual instruction, and/or research in an area related to
Biological Science.
